Freshman Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.) is the first out transgender member of Congress. Within days of her election this past November, she faced attacks from Republican colleagues who tried to draw her into a public conflict. Nevertheless, McBride has continued to find ways to forge ties across the aisle.  In this week's episode of The Conversation, Rep. McBride tells POLITICO's Dasha Burns why she has prioritized bipartisanship: “Every person in this country goes to work in a workplace where there are people who think differently, live differently, look differently than they do. They figure out how to make it work. They treat one another with respect. This is the one place where we seem to not be able to muster the same maturity and mutual respect that Americans across this country muster every single day when they go into the workplace.” McBride says she hopes to bring “a sense of kindness and grace” to Congress despite the “reality TV show nature” of today's politics. The two also discuss the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, how the Democratic Party can rebuild its coalition without “reinforcing right-wing framing” over culture war issues and why her pursuit of bipartisan legislation is in part a direct response to President Trump. “If we can't figure out how to solve problems across our political divide,” she tells Burns, “then I believe Trumpism only grows and worsens in this country.” Plus, White House reporter Myah Ward on Trump's trip to Scotland and what it revealed about the working relationship between the president and European leaders. 

The Vitals had settled in Springfield from Haiti during President Donald Trump's first term and saved money through the Biden administration. Business leaders in their reliably red county praised immigrants for reviving the local economy. Americans struggled to pass drug tests, one factory boss told a TV news crew. Not Haitians.Fernande Vital earned $21 an hour at a Japanese automotive plant, monitoring robots forging car parts, while her husband, Rocher, led a strip-mall church. Even as the GOP and some of their neighbors called for mass deportations, the Vitals were sure nobody meant them, immigrants here legally.So inJuly of last year, they made a down payment of $8,000, their entire nest egg. In August, they moved in, installed lace curtains and hung a family portrait in the dining room. One month later came the cracks.This story follows the Vitals after they dealt with the structural woes in their home and their feeling of belonging in this country.Danielle Paquette reported, wrote and narrated the piece.

Heading into yesterday's U.S. 100-meter finals, Kenny Bednarek and Melissa Jefferson-Wooden were already among the best in the world at what they do.And then they got better. Both Bednarek and Jefferson-Wooden are Olympic medalists and U.S. leaders in the sprint events, and both athletes have been running fast all year. In the 100m finals, however, they ascended to a new level, one everyone knew they were capable of, but was still fantastically impressive to watch come to fruition.Bednarek picked up the first U.S. title of his career — despite being a two-time Olympic medalist, he's heretofore always been overshadowed by the Noah Lyleses and Christian Colemans of the world. But not today: Today was Kenny's day. He decisively dispatched an extraordinarily strong field and clocked the first wind-legal sub-9.80 of his career with a 9.79 victory, leading a field where the top five finishers ran under 9.90.Jefferson-Wooden continued doing what she's done all year: win. But despite consistently beating the competition, Melissa has been plagued by unhelpful winds all year — either over the legal limit for a tailwind, or blowing in her face and slowing her down. Finally, she got favorable race conditions at just the right time, and the results were astonishing: a 10.65 victory, the fifth fastest in history, tying the likes of Shericka Jackson, Marion Jones, and Sha'Carri Richardson on the all-time list.Everywhere you looked, really great athletes were outperforming the past versions of themselves. Eugene may be 50 miles or so from the Pacific Ocean, but Hayward still felt like it was feeling the effects of rising tide in the sport, with Americans in all disciplines are forced to step up their game to new levels just to have a shot at competing with the rest of the world.__________Hosts: ⁠⁠Chris Chavez⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Eric Jenkins⁠⁠, Aisha Praught-Leer, ⁠Paul Hof-Mahoney⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠Anderson Emerole⁠⁠Produced by: ⁠⁠Mac Fleet⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠Jasmine Fehr⁠⁠__________Find everything you need to know about the 2025 USATF Outdoor Championships here:Listen: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Day 1 Recap Show⁠⁠⁠Subscribe: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CITIUS MAG Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Read: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Distance preview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Sprints + hurdles preview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Throws + heptathlon preview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Jumps + decathlon preview⁠⁠⁠⁠__________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop is a prebiotic soda that tastes like a throwback to your favorite childhood drinks, but it's loaded with benefits that your body will thank you for.

Ralph and the crew spend the whole hour with Omer Bartov, professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University, who grew up in a Zionist home, lived the first half of his life in Israel, served in the I.D.F. as a soldier and officer and is the author a New York Times op-ed entitled “I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.” Plus, Ralph pays tribute to legendary Washington Post reporter, Morton Mintz.Omer Bartov is a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University. He has written widely on modern Germany, France, the Holocaust, and representations of war and genocide. He is the author of the Mirrors of Destruction: War, Genocide, and Modern Identity, and the forthcoming book, Israel: What Went Wrong?, and he's penned a New York Times op-ed entitled “I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.”I published an op-ed in November 2023, and I said there were war crimes, clearly, crimes against humanity, and this will become genocide if it's not stopped. And the Biden administration at the time did nothing. President Biden could have stopped that within two weeks. The Israeli military machine cannot function for more than two or three weeks without constant supply of munitions, without constant supply of financial help, and most importantly, without a diplomatic Iron Dome, especially in the Security Council.Professor Omer BartovIf you say that you are shutting down speech because of anti-Semitism, who are the people who are pushing that? It must be all kinds of Jewish interests that are pushing that. And in that sense, this false campaign against anti-Semitism – some of whose leaders are people with pretty good anti-Semitic credentials themselves – is the best way to raise, to promote and incite anti-Semitism.Professor Omer BartovThere's no moral responsibility, there's no empathy being shown, and much of the population shares that view. To me, as someone who was raised in Israel, spent half of my life there, served four years in the army, to see my own society (including some of my friends) show this kind of moral callousness is frankly quite heartbreaking. And I have to say, it's the result of a long process. It's not only a response to October 7th, it's the result of six decades of occupation, of thinking of Palestinians as not really people who have any right to have rights or any right to health, to security. And in that sense, that long-term occupation has corrupted much of Israeli society. And maybe the most surprising thing is that there's still extraordinary people there who are fighting against that, but their numbers are diminishing, not growing.Professor Omer BartovMorton Mintz was hands-down the greatest consumer reporter of his generation. He opened up one field after another because he had a special sense of newsworthiness that other reporters and editors didn't have. He opened up the coverage of the pharmaceutical industry. He opened up the coverage of the auto industry. And he did so with such formidable documentation and research that other reporters started following the same subject area. So he was a pioneer.Ralph NaderNews 8/1/25* Crusading environmental lawyer Steven Donziger has published a new report in the left-wing outlet Orinoco Tribune on the undercount of the dead in Gaza. In this piece, Donziger uses the statistical model laid out by the prestigious medical journal The Lancet in their 2024 study on the Israeli military campaign, which found the direct and indirect death toll could be as high as 186,000. The Lancet study found that as many as 732 Gazans died every day from these direct and indirect causes. Multiplied by the 594 days the conflict has dragged on, this would equate to a death toll of 434,800, or 20.7% of the enclave's population. As Donziger notes, “If the same level of killing and indirect death that took place in Gaza…happened in the United States proportional to population, roughly 70 million Americans would have been killed.”* In more Gaza news, the Guardian reports that, “On Saturday night, the…IDF…intercepted and boarded the Handala, an aid ship that attempted to reach Gaza as part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition…According to the coalition, IDF soldiers beat and choked…labor activist Chris Smalls.” The severity of the attack on Christian Smalls – founder of the independent Amazon Labor Union (ALU) – caused international outcry. From the Guardian report, “Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back.” The incident also drew criticism for another reason: Smalls was the only Black person on board the Handala. While 21 members of the Flotilla group were detained, in their words ”abducted,” “This level of force was not used.” It is unclear why this level of force was used against Smalls and Smalls alone, other than the color of his skin.* Yet more tragic news from Gaza concerns the death of Odeh Hadalin, the 31-year-old Palestinian activist and English teacher featured in the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land. Al Jazeera reports that footage taken by Israeli human rights group B'Tselem “appears to show [Israeli settler Yinon] Levi opening fire on Hadalin during a confrontation in the village [of Umm al-Kheir, south of Hebron].” Levi, already sanctioned by the European Union and the United States over past attacks on Palestinians, reportedly told witnesses he was “glad about it.” Despite all of this, an Israeli court has released Levi on house arrest. Basel Adra, who co-directed No Other Land with Yuval Abraham, wrote “This is how Israel erases us — one life at a time.”* One positive development is in progress however. According to the Embassy of France in the United States, "France is prepared to fully recognize the State of Palestine, and will do so in September." French recognition of the Palestinian state, will If it ultimately comes to pass, have major ramifications on the world stage. While 147 member states of the United Nations have recognized Palestine, only 10 out of 27 EU countries have done so, mostly former Eastern Bloc states like Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and Romania, along with the former country of Czechoslovakia. The modern country of Slovakia has reaffirmed their recognition; Czechia has not. In 2024, several more European nations extended recognition, including Norway, Slovenia, Ireland and Spain. France however would tip the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council to a 3-2 majority in recognition of Palestine, along with Russia and China. Moreover, AP reports the United Kingdom is now saying they will “recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza,” among other conditions. If this happens, The permanent members of the Security Council would be split 4-1, with the United States as the lone holdout. This would be nothing short of an international relations sea change on the question of Palestine.* In some more positive foreign policy news, Jeremy Corbyn's new party in the U.K. is getting started with a bang. According to the man himself, over 600,000 people have signed up to register with the new party, which describes itself as “a new kind of political party. One that is rooted in our communities, trade unions and social movements. One that builds power in all regions and nations. One that belongs to you.” Polls show this new party in the lead among Britons aged 18-24 and Corbyn leading Labour Party leader Keir Starmer by “Almost Every Metric,” among members of the rightwing populist Reform Party. That said, the Reform Party is still projected to win an overwhelming victory compared to all other parties in the next elections, though those are not expected to be held until 2029.* In Congress, Bernie Sanders forced a vote Wednesday on two new Senate resolutions to block arms transfers to Israel. Resolution 34 would “prohibit the U.S.-taxpayer financed $675.7 million sale of 201 MK 83 1,000-pound bombs; 4,799 BLU-110A/B General Purpose 1,000-pound bombs; 1,500 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits for MK 83 bombs; 3,500 JDAM guidance kits for MK 83 bombs; and related logistics and technical support services,” while Resolution 41 would “prohibit the sale of tens of thousands of fully automatic assault rifles.” These resolutions got the support of 27 Senators, a new record and a majority of the Democratic Senate Caucus, but still far, far short of even a simple Senate majority. Perhaps a more portentous development is that Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene this week became the first Republican in Congress to call the crisis in Gaza a “genocide,” according to the Hill. It remains to be seen whether this will help break the dam on that side of the aisle.* In New York City, new polling shows stunning results for Zohran Mamdani. The new poll conducted by Zenith Research and Public Progress Solutions shows Zohran dominating the 5-way race, earning 50% and beating out the other four candidates combined. Mamdani does even better in head-to-head matches against disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo and corruption-dogged incumbent Mayor Eric Adams. The crosstabs are even more astonishing. Despite the breathless and baseless accusations of antisemitism, Zohran is winning 67% of Jews under age 45 and a whopping 85% of men ages 18-34. This second number is key as Democrats struggle to attract young men. One warning sign: a recent Pew poll shows Republicans with an 18-point lead among men in the Gen Z cohort.* In an ominous challenge to the separation of church and state, the Hill reports President Donald Trump released a memo Monday allowing federal employees to “attempt to persuade co-workers about why their religious beliefs are ‘correct.'” This memo cites “crosses, crucifixes and mezuzah,” as displays of religious indicia that should not result in disciplinary action. This bizarre and constitutionally dubious policy seems likely to lead to workplace discord.* In more Trump news, CBS reports Trump has ousted “Two top Justice Department antitrust officials.” According to sources, two deputies to Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater, who leads DOJ antitrust efforts, were “placed on administrative leave last week and fired on Monday for insubordination.” These two figures are Roger Alford, principal deputy assistant attorney general, and Bill Rinner, deputy assistant attorney general and head of merger enforcement. It is not clear why exactly Alford and Rinner were pushed out, but there has apparently been substantial strife within the administration over the antitrust cases against T-Mobile and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. AAG Slater is also overseeing antitrust lawsuits against Capital One, Apple, Google, and other major companies.* Finally, Wired reports the small Pacific island nation of Tuvalu is planning the first migration of an entire country. Tuvalu, which could be completely submerged by rising sea levels within the next 25 years, is seeking to resettle 280 Tuvaluans in Australia each year. This climate-driven mass migration is a stark sign of things to come if the international community continues to dither or deny the reality of the oncoming climate catastrophe. Today Tuvalu, tomorrow the world.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Many products and produce shipped into the U.S. will face higher tariffs next week, as President Trump meets his self-imposed August 1st deadline to reach new trade deals or implement reciprocal tariffs on U.S. trading partners. While the President secured some major deals before Friday, most nations received letters detailing the tax rates on their imports into the U.S. The White House claims that tariffs will generate trillions and benefit American workers, but some businesses are warning consumers that prices will rise. White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai joins the podcast to discuss the President's tariff strategy, the deals they hope to make with major trading partners, and the concerns some Americans have over the policy. Then, FOX Business White House Correspondent Edward Lawrence analyzes the July jobs report and discusses how a slowing labor market, concerns over tariffs, and other factors could influence the Fed's decision to lower interest rates and the White House's economic plans.

A recent report from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) reviewed 350 organ transplant cases managed by Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, and found one hundred cases had what they called "concerning features." In some cases, donors were still showing neurological signs, indicating the organ procurement process began for patients before they were officially declared deceased. The report led to shocking headlines, a congressional hearing, and many Americans questioning whether they could trust our country's organ donation system. Recently on the FOX News Rundown, the chief of the Health Resources and Services Administration's organ transplant branch, Dr. Raymond Lynch, joined host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the alarming report, the process of organ transplants, and what they're doing to ensure that they're done properly. Dr. Lynch discussed what went wrong in the cases where the transplant process began too early, but also emphasized how well the system works generally and how it's vital to saving lives. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Dr. Raymond Lynch, allowing you to learn even more about America's organ donation system. Learn more about your ad choices.

Den of Spies: Reagan, Carter, and the Secret History of the Treason That Stole the White House Craig Unger The explosive inside story of the October Surprise conspiracy, a stunning act of treason that changed American history. New York Times bestselling author Craig Unger reveals his thirty-year investigation into the secret collusion between Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign and Iran, raising urgent questions about what happens when foreign meddling in our elections goes unpunished and what gets remembered when the political price for treason is victory.It was a tinderbox of an accusation. In April 1991, the New York Times ran an op-ed alleging that Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign had conspired with the Iranian government to delay the release of 52 American hostages until after the 1980 election. The Iranian hostage crisis was President Jimmy Carter's largest political vulnerability, and his lack of success freeing them ultimately sealed his fate at the ballot box. In return for keeping Americans in captivity until Reagan assumed the oath of office, the Republicans had secretly funneled arms to Iran. Treasonous and illegal, the operation—planned and executed by Reagan's campaign manager Bill Casey—amounted to a shadow foreign policy run by private citizens that ensured Reagan's victory.Investigative journalist Craig Unger was one of the first reporters covering the October Surprise—initially for Esquire and then Newsweek—and while attempting to unravel the mystery, he was fired, sued, and ostracized by the Washington prehttps://amzn.to/4o97NLjBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

The latest U.S. deadline to ban the Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok is quickly approaching. The ban will take place on September 17th, 2025. Previously, President Trump has extended the deadline three times. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has confirmed TikTok will go dark on that date for more than 170 million Americans and 7.5 million U.S. Businesses unless China agrees to divest the app to American ownership.  Earlier this week, the Chairman of O'Leary Ventures and the star of Shark Tank, Kevin O'leary, joined The Claman Countdown on FOX Business to explain what he is doing to try to salvage the app for Americans.

Top Stories for August 2nd Publish Date: August 2nd From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, August 2nd and Happy Birthday to Carroll O’Connor I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. State obtains indictment against Cobb County clerk Study says Dacula is one of America's five safest suburbs, Buford also in top 10 Georgia Power seeking certification of new energy projects Plus, the Stripers report with JR Ritchie, starter in the MLB All-Star Futures Game and the Braves’ No. 2 prospect 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: 07.14.22 KIA MOG ---------------------- STORY 1: State obtains indictment against Cobb County clerk  Cobb County Court Clerk Connie Taylor was indicted Thursday, accused of ordering the destruction of government emails and financial records in 2022. The charges? Two counts each of destroying public records and violating her oath of office. The allegations stem from an open records request in October 2022. Taylor allegedly told an employee to delete the documents. Calls to Taylor’s office Thursday? Dodged. One staffer even forwarded a call to a local newspaper. The GBI and Carr’s White Collar and Cyber Crime Unit presented evidence to a grand jury, leading to the indictment. For now, Taylor is presumed innocent, but the case has echoes of a 2019 conviction Carr secured against a former Atlanta press secretary for delaying open records. Transparency, it seems, remains a battle. STORY 2: Study says Dacula is one of America's five safest suburbs, Buford also in top 10 If you live in Dacula or Buford, you’ve got bragging rights—both suburbs just ranked among the safest in America, according to a new study by SmartAsset. Dacula snagged the No. 5 spot, with Buford right behind at No. 6. Not bad, right? The study looked at everything from violent and property crime rates to traffic deaths, drug overdoses, and even excessive drinking. Dacula’s numbers? Just 0.0017 violent crimes per capita and 0.0062 property crimes. Buford wasn’t far off, but Dacula edged it out. Both cities tied in other categories, like traffic deaths (9.34 per 100,000) and overdose rates. Oh, and housing? Dacula’s median monthly cost is $1,547, while Buford’s is a bit lower at $1,300. Georgia had a few other cities in the rankings—Canton at No. 20, Acworth at 63—but Dacula and Buford are clearly leading the pack. STORY 3: Georgia Power seeking certification of new energy projects Georgia Power is making big moves, asking state regulators to greenlight nearly 10,000 megawatts of new energy projects. That’s a lot of power—enough to keep millions of homes and businesses running, no matter the weather. Most of it—about 8,000 megawatts—comes from projects already approved in 2022, including natural gas plants, solar paired with batteries, and standalone battery storage systems. Another 1,886 megawatts comes from this year’s plans, with similar projects in the mix. But not everyone’s thrilled. Environmental groups argue the new gas turbines double down on fossil fuels instead of pushing harder for renewables. Still, Georgia Power is leaning into battery storage, with projects underway in Bibb, Lowndes, Floyd, and Cherokee counties—and more on the way. The PSC will hold hearings this fall, with a final vote in December. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back ---------------------- Break 2: Ingles Markets ---------------------- STRIPERS INTERVIEW STORY 6: GCPS Community-Based Mentoring Program seeking volunteers The Gwinnett County Public Schools Community-Based Mentoring Program is on the hunt for 200 volunteers to step up and mentor students during the 2025-26 school year. Now in its 16th year, the program has already made a huge impact—last year alone, it supported over 2,550 students in grades 4-12. “It was one of our best years yet,” says James Rayford, the program’s director. They reached every high school, middle school, and all 20 clusters, with a 100% graduation rate for two years running. This year? They’re aiming even higher, adding job-shadowing and internships to the mix. The idea is simple but powerful: one caring adult can change a child’s life. Volunteers can mentor one-on-one or in small groups, helping students build confidence, communication skills, and a sense of belonging. STORY 7: Beyond the classroom: GGC interns gain invaluable real-world experience Summer internships aren’t just résumé fluff—they’re where classroom theory meets the messy, unpredictable real world. For Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) students, it’s a chance to figure out what they love (or don’t) and grow in ways they didn’t expect. Take Kimberly Ramirez, a senior marketing major. “I thought marketing was just ads and social media,” she admits. Turns out, it’s strategy, planning, and making decisions that actually matter. Her internship at InTouch Financial Group? A game-changer. She even runs bilingual webinars—Marketing Monday—teaching agents how to market themselves. Then there’s Joceyln Rubio-Camacho, a finance major. Forget the cubicle stereotype. At Majors Management, she’s learned accounting is as much about people as it is spreadsheets. For cinema major Tony Arreaga, interning at Crazy Legs Production in Atlanta has been a whirlwind. One day he’s hauling props in a box truck; the next, he’s designing sets for a Netflix documentary. “It’s a lot like the Marines,” says the 10-year veteran. “Managing people, equipment, locations—it’s all about discipline.” And Emily Zboran? She’s diving into project management at Majors Management, juggling tasks solo while her bosses travel. “I’ve learned to prioritize, organize, and trust myself,” she says. The takeaway? Internships are tough to land, but worth it.

  In this episode of the *Big Ideas for Smaller Government* series, host David Fran sits down with Jeremiah Mosteller, policy director for Americans for Prosperity, to explore the vast and complex Department of Defense (DoD). With a staggering $2 trillion budget and nearly three million military and civilian personnel, the DoD is one of the largest federal agencies. Together, they discuss the department's history, structure, and some surprising examples of wasteful spending, including $5 million spent on ineffective camouflage and $1,300 coffee cups used on Air Force cargo planes. Jeremiah highlights how better coordination and cutting excessive contracting could lead to significant taxpayer savings—up to $260 billion over ten years—without compromising national security. This in-depth conversation sheds light on the challenges and opportunities within the DoD, illustrating why reforming defense spending is crucial for reducing the federal deficit and making government more efficient. Listeners gain valuable insights into how strategic changes, such as reducing contractor reliance and improving procurement, could help save billions while ensuring our military remains well-equipped. Tune in to understand how thoughtful cuts in defense can contribute to a smaller, smarter government.

On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down Donald Trump's tone-deaf plan to renovate the White House and build himself a new ballroom while everyday Americans struggle under rising inflation—driven in large part by Trump's reckless tariffs. We expose the chaos inside Trump's economic team, as his Commerce Secretary claims no more tariff delays… right before Trump issues more delays. We also dive into new revelations about Trump's disturbing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, his latest unhinged posts attacking political opponents, updates from the Federal Reserve, and the worsening humanitarian crises in Ukraine and Gaza. All that and more on today's episode from Ben, Brett and Jordy.

In a chilling interview, FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez is sounding the alarm about government censorship, the Trump administration’s attacks on the First Amendment and what this means for the rights of all Americans. In this episode, Gomez sits down with host Maria Hinojosa to talk about how the federal government is pressuring media companies to bend to its will, how growing up in Colombia shaped her into the woman she is, and why she’s willing to fight for Democracy, even if it means losing her job at the FCC.

The new U.S.–EU trade deal negotiated between Donald Trump and the EU's Ursula von der Leyen is surprisingly one-sided in favor of the United States. In the end Europe made major concessions, including accepting a 15% tariff on goods and agreeing to purchase $750 billion worth of U.S. energy, while the U.S. gave up virtually nothing in return. Although European leaders were unhappy with the deal, they accepted it to avoid a full-blown trade war, with critics like former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt calling it disastrous and poorly negotiated.  Jimmy argues that Europe weakened its own position by severing energy ties with Russia and becoming dependent on U.S. energy and defense, effectively allowing Trump to dictate the terms. He and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger conclude that European leaders have sold out their own nations' interests to serve U.S. and transnational elite agendas, leaving their populations economically disadvantaged and politically powerless. Plus segments with Children's Health Defense CEO Mary Holland on the newly confirmed CDC head and the surprise departure of Dr. Vinay Prasad from the FDA, and a closing segment on rocker Dave Matthews' recent statement of support for Palestine. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

Mary welcomes back the expert on all things AI, Patrick Wood; author, lecturer, economist and a leading and critical expert on Sustainable Development, Green Economy, Agenda 21, Agenda 2030 and Technocracy. Now more than ever we need his insights because the White House just released "America's AI Action Plan" which should concern us all. There is something uniquely oxymoronic about our President, on the one hand a nationalist with America's best interests in mind; born in a century with no tech and in a nation with completely different sensibilities on every level, and yet determined to see America lead the AI pace in the world. Of course you could easily argue he is just competitive, a driven dealmaker who always wins and really does want the best for Americans. And yet. AI is not something that is developed or dispensed by politicians or bureaucrats, but by technocrats who also want to win - and bring the world under the spell and bondage of artificial intel. What is this AI Action Plan and how will it affect our lives? We break it down and try to help the listener get a grasp on our Brave New Future, minus actual reality.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Former Air Force official Ty McCoy warns that the U.S. is under attack — through economic warfare, foreign influence, and political corruption. He blames the 2016 Russia-collusion narrative on a cover-up by the Clinton campaign and stresses that Americans underestimate national threats. McCoy says the fight for freedom must continue for the sake of future generations. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Eels play an important ecological role in many rivers and streams, but they're so eel-usive that even eel scientists have been challenged to observe them mating in the wild. Ellen Ruppel Shell is author of the 2024 book Slippery Beast: A True Crime Natural History, with Eels, and she sheds light on the eel's murky ecology and path through the seafood industry.   And the relentless heating of the Earth is prompting people to move after climate-related catastrophes and amid more gradual changes. Journalist Abrahm Lustgarten is the author of On the Move: The Overheating Earth and the Uprooting of America, about the northward migration he anticipates as Americans seek to escape punishing heat, fire, and drought.   Also stargazing has profoundly shaped who we are as human beings, and gave rise to science, religion, and origin stories from diverse traditions. Roberto Trotta, the author of the new book Starborn: How the Stars Made Us (And Who We Would Be Without Them) joins us to discuss how studying the night sky shaped science and why satellites now threaten our connection to the stars.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX We've got the first and only biosimilar FDA approved and moving to market. Kirsty – insulin aspart, which is a biosimilar to Novolog will be available as a single-patient-use prefilled pen for subcutaneous use and a multiple-dose vial for subcutaneous and intravenous use. KIRSTY has been available in Europe and Canada since 2022. This same company makes Semglee, the first biosimilar for long acting? Sales of Insulin Aspart in the United States were approximately $1.9 billion in 2024, according to IQVIA. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/07/15/3115973/0/en/Biocon-Biologics-Expands-Diabetes-Portfolio-with-FDA-Approval-of-Kirsty-the-First-and-Only-Interchangeable-Rapid-Acting-Insulin-Aspart-in-the-United-States.html XX Tandem Diabetes Care (Nasdaq:TNDM) has issued an urgent medical device correction for some t:slim X2 automated insulin pumps. In a July 22 notice, the San Diego-based company warned of pumps that may exhibit a higher rate of speaker failure. During normal use, the insulin pump software monitors current flowing through the speaker during use. Measurements that fall within a pre-determined range indicate a functioning speaker. Meanwhile, measurements falling outside the range indicate a speaker failure.   When the measurements land outside the expected range, the system declares a malfunction, referred to as “Malfunction 16.” If the pump declares this malfunction, insulin delivery will stop and the pump will no longer be operational. Malfunction 16 terminates communication between the pump and continuous glucose monitor (CGM), as well as the t:slim mobile app.   If not addressed, the issue can lead to hyperglycemia, which can result in hospitalization or medical intervention. The company reports 700 adverse events and 59 reported injuries to date, with no reports of death.   Tandem identified that certain speaker versions have a higher rate of Malfunction 16 events due to a wiring issue within the speaker. Users can continue using their pump but with added precautions because Malfunction 16 can occur at any time. They should use the t:slim mobile app with push notifications turned on so the app alerts them if the malfunction occurs, the company said.   Additionally, Tandem intends to release a software update aimed at enhancing the early detection of speaker failure. The update also introduces persistent vibration alarms to help reduce potential safety risk. Tandem plans to notify affected pump users when it makes the update available. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tandem-warns-insulin-pump-speaker-malfunction/ XX BIG WIN! The DOJ protects T1D rights again! The US Attorney's office for the Western District of Washington State reached a settlement with a public school district that once again confirms remotely monitoring students' CGMs is a reasonable accommodation that schools must provide to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. If its true for one state its true for all states under federal law! If your local schools still refuse to remotely monitor CGMs of their students, provide them with this letter to compel them to FOLLOWT1Ds and FOLLOW Federal Laws. If they still refuse contact us! https://followt1ds.org/ XX new study finds people taking GLP-1 agonists had a significantly lower cumulative risk of developing dementia, when compared to metformin users. Past studies show that people who have type 2 diabetes — a chronic condition where the body does not use its insulin properly — are at a higher risk of developing dementia. The study found that when comparing the neuroprotective abilities of two diabetes medications — metformin and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 agonists) — participants taking GLP-1 agonists had a significantly lower cumulative risk of developing dementia, when compared to metformin.   https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/glp-1s-may-offer-better-dementia-protection-than-metformin XX Front office changes coming to Dexcom.  CEO Kevin Sayer will step down  & give the reins to current Chief Operating Officer Jake Leach. Scheduled for January 1, 2026, Leach will also join Dexcom's board of directors where Sayer will remain  executive chairman. One of our frequent guests here.. Leach has worked at Dexcom for 21 years. He served as chief technology officer from 2018 to 2022 before he was named COO in late 2022. He was given the title of president in May. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-ceo-change-kevin-sayer-jake-leach/756382/ XX A major international study has revealed that many children and young adults in Sub-Saharan Africa who are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may actually have a different, non-immune-based form of the condition. Unlike the traditional autoimmune version of T1D, this form appears to develop without the immune system attacking the insulin-producing cells. This finding could significantly reshape how diabetes is diagnosed and treated across the region, potentially leading to more precise care and better health outcomes. The researchers found that many young people in Sub-Saharan Africa diagnosed with T1D often don't have the usual markers in their blood (called islet autoantibodies) typically seen in people with T1D in other parts of the world. Specifically, 65% of participants with T1D in this region did not have islet autoantibodies. When the researchers compared this data to studies in the U.S., they found a smaller but significant proportion (15%) of Black participants diagnosed with T1D had a similar form of diabetes found in Sub-Saharan Africa – characterized by negative autoantibodies and a low T1D genetic risk score.   However, white Americans with T1D showed the typical autoimmune pattern, even if they didn't have detectable autoantibodies, their genetics still pointed to autoimmune diabetes.   “The identification of this T1D diabetes subtype in Sub-Saharan African populations and among individuals of African ancestry in the U.S. suggests a potential ancestral or genetic link,” Dabelea notes. “These findings highlight the need to consider alternative etiologies in this group and a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms may provide important insights for future prevention and treatment strategies.”     https://scitechdaily.com/new-diabetes-subtype-discovered-in-africa-challenges-global-assumptions/   XX Formal recognition for the specialty of Diabetology.   Diabetology is the specialty focused on the full continuum of diabetes care — encompassing diagnosis, treatment, prevention, technology integration, education, and cardiometabolic management. While it intersects with endocrinology, primary care, and public health, diabetology is uniquely defined by its depth and focus on diabetes alone.       The American College of Diabetology (ACD) is the national professional organization representing clinicians who specialize in diabetes care. ACD advances clinical excellence and education to improve the lives of those affected by diabetes. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250725766248/en/American-College-of-Diabetology-Announces-Formal-Taxonomy-Classification-for-Diabetology   XX Tidepool announces cloud-to-cloud integration with Abbott's FreeStyle Libre portfolio. From the release: This integration allows people living with diabetes using the FreeStyle Libre portfolio to connect their data to their Tidepool account seamlessly. For healthcare providers, this means more comprehensive insights and streamlined workflows, with FreeStyle Libre systems data flowing continuously into the Tidepool Data Platform. https://www.tidepool.org/blog/abbott-freestyle-libre-integration-launched XX Stelo dexom ai food XX With high drug prices remaining an ongoing concern for U.S. politicians, Roche is considering following in the footsteps of some of its peers with a direct-to-consumer (DTC) model to cut out the middlemen.     About 50% of the money spent on drugs in the U.S. healthcare system goes straight to PBMs instead of the companies that create the medicines, Roche CEO Thomas Schinecker called out in a press conference on Thursday.   Bringing the drugs directly to the consumer could be a solution to positively impact pricing for patients “without destroying innovation,” Schinecker added on a separate Thursday call with investors, noting that the company has discussed the matter with the U.S. government and its Department of Health and Human Services. The pricing talks come after President Donald Trump inked a “Most Favored Nation” executive order in May, aiming to tie U.S. drug prices to lower prices in other developed nations. The plan was quickly called out by industry voices such as the PhRMA trade group, which labeled it a “bad deal” for U.S. patients. https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/roche-weighing-direct-consumer-drug-sales-ease-us-drug-pricing-woes-cut-out-pbms-ceo-says XX SAB BIO secures substantial $175M financing to advance T1D therapy with impressive investor lineup and extended cash runway until 2028. Most critically, this financing fully funds the pivotal Phase 2b SAFEGUARD study evaluating SAB-142 for delaying progression of autoimmune Type 1 diabetes in newly diagnosed patients. By extending the cash runway into mid-2028, SAB has effectively eliminated near-term financing risk and provided clear visibility through this crucial clinical trial and potential commercialization preparation. Participation from strategic investor Sanofi, along with new investors RA Capital Management, Commodore Capital, Vivo Capital, Blackstone Multi-Asset Investing, Spruce Street Capital, Forge Life Science Partners and Woodline Partners LP, and existing investors Sessa Capital, the T1D Fund, and ATW Partners         https://www.stocktitan.net/news/SABS/sab-bio-announces-oversubscribed-175-million-private-fwsf2t91ek4z.html   XX In a landmark 14-year study, researchers have found that artificially sweetened drinks raise the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by more than a third, significantly higher than those loaded with sugar. It challenges the long-standing perception of diet drinks being a healthier alternative and suggests they may carry metabolic risks of their own. In the first longitudinal study of its kind, led by Monash University, researchers tracked 36,608 participants over an average period of 13.9 years to assess how both sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) impacted health outcomes. The self-reported health data, from the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study, was drawn from participants aged 40 to 69 years at the time of recruitment.   What they found was that drinking just one can of artificially sweetened soda increased the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 38%, compared to people who didn't consume these drinks at all. For those consuming the same amount of sugary drinks, the risk was 23% higher. This suggests there's more than obesity at play. The researchers believe this result is due to an independent metabolic effect, possibly gut microbiome disruption or a change in glucose metabolism.   While the study didn't identify which artificial sweeteners were at play,   Evidence suggests that artificial sweeteners can alter the composition and function of gut bacteria, leading to glucose intolerance – a precursor to type 2 diabetes. And that some sweeteners may trigger insulin release, desensitize metabolic responses over time, or confuse the body's glucose regulation system – even without actual sugar in the picture.   Another hypothesis is that regular exposure to the kind of intense sweetness that artificial products deliver may condition the body to anticipate sugar calories that never come, affecting appetite regulation, insulin sensitivity and broader metabolic pathways. However, the authors suggest that how sweeteners affect the gut microbiota and glucose regulation are the most likely drivers of increased diabetes risk.   https://newatlas.com/diet-nutrition/one-drink-diabetes-risk/ XX After months of deliberation, information gathering and public testimony, a state board unanimously agreed Monday that two common medications for type-2 diabetes and other conditions appear to pose an affordability challenge to the state and Marylanders.   The state Prescription Drug Affordability Board approved two resolutions saying that prescription drugs Jardiance and Farxiga likely pose an “an affordability challenge for the state health care system” and the state should look for ways to bring down those costs.   Health care advocates call the long-awaited resolution an “important first step” in the process in bringing down prescription costs for those on the state's health plan.       That milestone has been years in the making. Created in 2019 by the General Assembly, the Prescription Drug Affordability Board was slow to launch due in part to a veto from former Gov. Larry Hogan (R) amid pandemic-induced economic uncertainty in 2020 that delayed the board's formation. The board also cited out-of-pocket costs for consumers and state and local spending on those drugs as indicators that there may be an affordability challenge.   The board will now look at options to address the potential affordability challenge, which could include setting an upper payment limit on those drugs. But it's not clear when the state will see cost savings.   That said, some members of the health care system and the pharmaceutical industry say that policies such as upper payment limits could weaken access to life-saving drugs. Others say that the board has not engaged enough viewpoints from the health care industry. https://marylandmatters.org/2025/07/29/state-board-determines-two-type-2-diabetes-drugs-may-be-unaffordable/   XX One year after it was revealed that Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's son, Miles, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, Teigen is revealing how she's making her son feel more included. Teigen first opened up about her 7-year-old son's diagnosis after she and her two oldest kids, Miles and 9-year-old daughter Luna were at the 2024 summer Olympics cheering on Simone Biles. Teigen posted a photo of Miles and Luna holding up a sign. Also visible in the picture was the insulin pump on Miles' arm. Now, Teigen is sharing some insight into how she's making Miles more comfortable with having type 1 diabetes, including giving LeBron James' Barbie doll type 1 diabetes as well. In a video shared on Instagram, Teigen is seen taking the T1D Barbie, removing her insulin pump and gluing the pump onto LeBron James' Barbie. “Turning T1D Barbie into T1D Lebron James for my son,” Teigen captioned the video, revealing James is Miles' hero. 41 million followers https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/articles/chrissy-teigen-gives-lebron-james-154608782.html

In this powerful compilation of commentary, callers and hosts confront the defining struggles of our time—foreign threats, government corruption, and the silencing of dissent. From rising tariffs and supply chain pressures to the weaponization of biowarfare and fentanyl by China, the case is made for a complete trade and strategic break from the CCP. Meanwhile, tech platforms like YouTube and Facebook face scrutiny for systematically censoring voices under the guise of copyright violations, as globalist institutions push Elon Musk to comply with EU speech controls. Domestically, concerns grow over the erosion of civil liberties, media bias, and political double standards. A rallying cry emerges for Americans to reclaim control—by voting out corruption at the local level, demanding transparency, and refusing to surrender free expression. It's a wake-up call for a nation teetering between survival and submission.

The narrative unravels as elite institutions—from Wall Street to the intelligence community—face exposure for manipulating truth and undermining democratic accountability. In the first transcript, the media's recession predictions, driven by figures like JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon and amplified by anti-Trump financial pundits, are proven wrong as the economy thrives under tariffs and smart trade moves. In the second, the scope widens: whistleblower revelations, FBI cover-ups, and international censorship programs—many tied to figures like John Brennan and Democrat operatives—highlight a coordinated effort to silence dissent globally. As Trump fights back with aggressive tariffs and bold appointments, the establishment panics. These episodes connect the dots between media misinformation, weaponized agencies, and a censorship dragnet preparing to ensnare Americans if the power shifts again. The war for truth has gone global—and it's heating up.

    Ever wonder what 75 days a year glued to your phone is costing you?  That staggering figure—based on a 2024 study showing Americans spend an average of 5 hours and 16 minutes daily on their smartphones—reveals how deeply our devices dominate our lives.  Enter Richard Simon and his provocative bestseller, Unplug: How to […] The post Richard Simon: Why It's Probably Time You Unplugged appeared first on Mark C.

It was an epic week for President Trump and his cabinet. Jim McLaughlin of McLaughlin and Associates is here to break down their latest polling from July. With the EU trade deal, a June surplus and and a booming economy, President Trump is really fighting for the American people. His approval rating as of right now is 52 percent, and that is with an absolutely demented Democratic party and a propaganda media system poised against him. Americans have gotten smart to the noise and they respect and appreciate everything President Trump is doing to propel un into another golden age. Republicans as whole are up plus 5 on the generic ballot and are looking good as we head into midterms. Democrats on the other hand have lost their minds. Radical Socialist like Zohran Mamdani and AOC are where Democrats are at and each day the line get pushed further and further towards full on Socialism. The Texas redistricting will give the GOP 5 more seats in Texas but it all hinges on the Latino vote. Do Republicans have a 45-50 percent hold on the Latino vote in Texas? What other Republican states will look to redistrict like Texas? Democrats have fewer tools to redistrict like Republicans do, but that doesn't seem to be stopping Gavin Newsom.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for August 1st Publish Date: August 1st Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Friday, August 1st and Happy Birthday to Coolio I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Marietta weighs ethics complaint ban during elections New police HQ, brewery, hotel highlight growth in Kennesaw and Acworth Marietta school system's weapons detectors: What you need to know Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on GLP-1 Foods All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: Ingles Markets 8 STORY 1: Marietta weighs ethics complaint ban during elections Marietta’s City Council is mulling over a proposal that would block ethics complaints during election season. The idea? To keep things from getting messy—well, messier—when candidates are running for mayor or council. If passed, no complaints could be filed between the time candidates qualify and when election results are certified. Mayor Steve Tumlin and all seven council members are up for reelection on Nov. 4, with qualifying starting Aug. 18. But here’s the kicker: Tumlin wasn’t even at the meeting where this was discussed. Without him, the council’s Judicial Legislative Committee (led by Cheryl Richardson) pushed the proposal forward for Tuesday’s meeting. Richardson, though, had mixed feelings. “It’s like voting yourself a pay raise,” she said, tweaking the proposal to start Jan. 1—after this election. Fair? Maybe. But it’s complicated. No final decisions yet, just more meetings ahead. STORY 2: New police HQ, brewery, hotel highlight growth in Kennesaw and Acworth It was a lively morning at the Northwest Cobb Area Council meeting, where Acworth Mayor Tommy Allegood and Kennesaw Mayor Derek Easterling shared updates on their cities’ growth. Sitting alongside them was Jim Croft, CEO of Croft and Associates, who kicked things off with a warm nod to the mayors. “I’ve known these guys forever,” he said. “Their leadership? Top-notch. Their integrity? Unquestionable.” Easterling dove into Kennesaw’s big-ticket projects, like the $13.9 million public safety building on Moon Station Road. “It’s going to be a game-changer,” he said, describing the two-story facility with everything from a crime lab to a K-9 space. Meanwhile, Allegood spotlighted Acworth’s bustling downtown, where parking expansions and a new Springhill Suites are in the works. “Our Main Street is on fire,” he said, grinning. Both mayors circled back to one theme: quality of life. “It’s what makes us a destination,” Allegood said. STORY 3: Marietta school system's weapons detectors: What you need to know At Marietta High, Marietta Middle, the Sixth Grade Academy, and Woods-Wilkins, students will now pass through weapons detectors at the entrances. The district approved the $554,645 purchase of Evolv detection systems back in May, following a tragic school shooting in Winder last September. That incident, along with two weapons-related scares in Marietta schools, pushed safety to the forefront. Here’s how it works: students hand over large electronics—laptops, Chromebooks—before walking through the detectors. No need to empty pockets or backpacks. “It’s quick,” said Brian Wallace, the district’s safety specialist. “Grab your stuff, and you’re on your way.” The detectors, equipped with cameras, can scan up to 1,500 people an hour. Superintendent Grant Rivera called it “one more layer” of safety for grades six through 12. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. Break: Ingles Markets 8 STORY 4: Smyrna man charged in death of elderly woman after alleged medical neglect A Smyrna man, Kenneth Bogart, 57, is in custody after police say his neglect led to the death of Geralyn Gossett, an elderly woman in his care. The incident unfolded at Bogart’s condo on Doranne Court. According to the arrest warrant, Bogart picked Gossett up from the hospital on July 17, noticing she was “becoming incoherent.” Later that night, she experienced a medical emergency. At some point between midnight and 1 a.m. on July 18, Bogart helped her into the bathroom for a shower. What happened next is hard to fathom—Gossett reportedly flailed on the floor for hours, even damaging the wall. Instead of calling for help, Bogart filmed her and sent the video to a friend for advice. Then, unbelievably, he left her there and slept in his car. By the time he called 911 the next afternoon, it was too late. STORY 5: OUT AND ABOUT: 5 things to do this weekend in Cobb County — Aug. 1 - 3 Looking for plans this weekend? Here’s what’s happening around town: Get ready to laugh until your cheeks hurt at the Alley Stage’s “Comedy on the Square” this Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. Expect a mix of seasoned pros and fresh faces delivering sharp one-liners and hilarious stories. Tickets start at $27—grab them online before showtime or snag one at the door. Friday night, head to the Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre for an outdoor screening of The Greatest Showman. Gates open at 6 p.m., the movie starts at 7, and yes, it’s free. Bring snacks, a blanket, and maybe some bug spray. Saturday night, the Atlanta Water Lantern Festival lights up Jim R. Miller Park. Lanterns, live music, food trucks—it’s magical. Tickets start at $38 online, but they’ll cost more at the gate. And for the lovebirds, the Georgia Bridal Show takes over the Cobb Galleria on Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. Wedding planning pros, dreamy dresses, and everything in between. Tickets are $10 online or $15 at the door. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on GLP-1 Foods We’ll have closing comments after this.

Here are non-American things recommended to Americans by non-Americans

FAIR News Weekly | 8/1/2025

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. New C&B Steak Bet! Kamala Harris announced she will not run for California governor in 2026. Clay and Buck analyze her new book, 107 Days, and preview her upcoming appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert—her first major interview since her 2024 presidential campaign defeat. Clay and Buck make a new steak bet about Kamala Harris’s political future. They engage in a spirited discussion over whether Harris will run for president in 2028. Clay argues she will, citing her age, lack of alternative pursuits, and her unique position as a Black female candidate with strong name recognition. Buck counters that Harris is politically finished, suggesting she’s more likely to take a ceremonial role at a university or think tank. The conversation touches on Democratic Party strategy, the importance of the South Carolina primary, and the influence of figures like James Clyburn. Mayor Mamdani? The conversation shifts to New York City politics, where the hosts critique mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for his past support of defunding the police and his proposal for city-run grocery stores. They warn that his policies could lead to economic and public safety disasters, drawing comparisons to failed socialist models. The segment includes a broader critique of progressive governance and its effects on urban housing, crime, and affordability. Dr. Oz on the Future of Healthcare Dr. Oz, now serving as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the Trump administration, outlines the administration’s ambitious healthcare agenda. He addresses the skyrocketing cost of healthcare in America, the chronic disease epidemic, and the mental health crisis, emphasizing the role of loneliness as a key driver of poor health outcomes. Dr. Oz also highlights a recent White House event where major tech and healthcare companies pledged to return control of medical records to patients and modernize healthcare through digital innovation. A major focus is the “big beautiful bill” that introduced work requirements for Medicaid recipients, aiming to restore dignity and autonomy to able-bodied Americans while preserving the program’s integrity. Dr. Oz defends the policy as a moral and economic imperative, drawing parallels to President Clinton’s welfare reform. The conversation shifts to prescription drug pricing, where Dr. Oz announces a new “most favored nation” pricing policy to combat global freeloading and reduce U.S. drug costs. He compares this initiative to NATO’s cost-sharing model, asserting that America should no longer bear the financial burden of global pharmaceutical R&D alone. Technology’s transformative role in healthcare is another key theme. Dr. Oz discusses how AI, robotics, and automation will streamline care, reduce administrative waste, and combat fraud—highlighting a recent $15 billion DOJ takedown of a multinational criminal network exploiting Medicare. FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak joins the show to discuss the agency’s efforts to protect consumers from sophisticated scams, including AI-driven voice cloning fraud. She outlines the FTC’s enforcement mechanisms, collaboration with the DOJ, and focus on anti-competitive mergers in the fast-evolving tech sector. Holyoak also promotes the FTC’s “Made in USA” labeling enforcement, encouraging businesses and consumers to report violations.

Dr. Skousen also touches on Franklin's complex relationships with women, his views on religion, and his legacy as a versatile genius.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down new revelations connected to the Epstein case that have reignited scrutiny around Donald Trump, sparking a wave of viral clips and speculation. They analyze Trump's bizarre responses to questions about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Virginia Giuffre, including his bizarre answer to whether he'd been to Epstein's island and Maxwell's attorney calling him the “ultimate dealmaker.” Kander and Gupta also dive into Trump's escalating trade threats, with a 25% tariff on India set to begin August 1, as well as conflicting economic signals from GDP growth, consumer spending slowdowns, and steady hiring numbers. Plus, they're joined by Texas State Representative James Talarico to talk about his viral moment with Joe Rogan, his faith-driven approach to politics, and what Democrats keep getting wrong about Texas and the middle of the country.

Buckle up and enjoy the show.   Economy https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1950655278887698788 Americans Flee Blue States for Red States in Record Numbers, New Study Finds A new analysis reveals that the great American migration is accelerating — and it's heading south and red. A study conducted by the nonprofit research group Unleash Prosperity, based on the latest IRS and U.S. Census Bureau data, shows millions of Americans have been “voting with their feet,” leaving high-tax, heavily regulated Democrat-run states in favor of Republican-led states offering lower taxes, less government interference, and a higher quality of life Top Gaining States: Red States Are Booming According to the data, the states gaining the most people and income are largely Republican strongholds in the South and the West. These states have attracted both individuals and businesses seeking affordability, freedom, and opportunity. Top 10 States Gaining Residents (Net Migration + Income Gains) Florida Texas Tennessee North Carolina South Carolina Arizona Georgia Idaho Nevada Utah Top Losing States: Blue States in Decline In contrast, high-tax blue states with stringent regulations, high cost of living, and urban crime surges are suffering sharp population losses —along with their wealthiest taxpayers. Top 10 States Losing Residents and Income California New York Illinois New Jersey Massachusetts Pennsylvania Michigan Maryland Minnesota Oregon What's Driving the Migration? The exodus from blue to red states is being fueled by several major factors: Tax Burden: States like California, New York, and Illinois have some of the highest tax rates in the nation. Red states tend to have no or low income taxes and business-friendly environments. Cost of Living: Housing affordability is a key driver. Families can often get twice the home for half the price in Southern and interior states. Quality of Life: Red states have generally lower crime rates, better school choice options, and fewer lockdown restrictions. Remote Work: Post-pandemic, Americans are no longer tied to big city job markets, giving them the freedom to relocate to states that better align with their values and financial goals. Political and Economic Implications This shift is not only reshaping the U.S. economy, but also the political map. States gaining population are also gaining congressional representation and electoral votes, while those losing people are seeing their influence shrink. “This trend is redefining American politics,” Moore said. “If it continues, we may see a long-term shift in where economic and political power resides.” Source: newsmax.com (function(w,d,s,i){w.

They discuss how President Trump’s America-first policies—like bold trade deals and sweeping deregulation—spurred wage growth and helped working-class Americans thrive. In contrast, they criticize the Biden administration's economic performance and call out the Federal Reserve’s missteps under Jerome Powell.

James and Al emphasize the need to wield the terrible effects of Trump's ‘Big Beautiful Bill' against Republicans going forward, as well as the benefits of focusing on the economic peril of everyday Americans going into the midterms.  Then, they welcome thought-leader Judd Legum to look at the continuing appeal of MAGA, Trump's connection to Epstein, his grifts, and if he'll be held to account.  They also break down the massive grifts that the administration is running on the country and its followers and explore the role that journalists play in holding them to account.
