Transcript [Music] This is Food Safety in a Minute, I'm Susie Craig. Can Splenda® be used in home food preservation? The answer depends on the product being preserved. Splenda® can be used to sweeten liquids for canned fruits, but unlike sugar, it does not provide preservative benefits or help maintain color and texture. In traditional preserves and pickled fruits that rely on high sugar levels for safety and quality, Splenda® should not replace sugar. For jams and jellies, Splenda® may be used only with pectins specifically formulated for low- or no-sugar recipes. It should not be substituted for sugar in recipes using regular pectin or traditional long-boil methods. Following tested recipes is essential for food safety. For more information, visit the National Center for Home Food Preservation. From Washington State University Extension, I'm Susie Craig. [Music] Resources National Center for Home Food Preservation.

On the morning of March 27, 1991, three-year-old Megan Elizabeth Garner was playing outside her family's apartment at the Casa Grande Apartments in Tyler, Texas. It was spring break, the weather was warm, and nothing about the day seemed unusual.That is, until Megan vanished.What began as a frantic search by family members quickly escalated into one of East Texas's most enduring missing child investigations. Law enforcement officers, firefighters, volunteers, tracking dogs, helicopters, and eventually the FBI searched tirelessly for answers. Despite extensive efforts, investigators found no physical evidence, no confirmed sightings, and no clear explanation for how a child disappeared in broad daylight from a crowded apartment complex.Over the following months and years, Megan's case gained national attention through organizations such as the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, the Kevin Collins Foundation, America's Most Wanted, and The 700 Club's Child Quest. Millions of Americans saw her photograph, yet every promising lead ultimately led nowhere.More than three and a half decades later, Megan remains missing.In this episode, we examine the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, the massive search effort that followed, the theories investigators considered, and the heartbreaking reality faced by a family still searching for answers after all these years.f you have any information about the disappearance of Megan Elizabeth Garner, please contact the Tyler Police Department at 903-531-1000.You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua!Although thoroughly secular in nature, the National Center for Science Education benignly labels it as the "Creation/Evolution Continuum". Running from the extreme of Flat Earth creationism on the Biblical side to the extreme of atheistic evolution on the secular side, it is, however, anything but benign. There are so many different views! So many different perspectives!All the parties are looking at the same physical, natural evidence and the same passages of scripture. Yet, along this continuum there has historically been so much heat and disagreement!It's almost like God never intended for us to fully understand...Wait. Could that be it?And, if we were never intended to understand the particulars of creation, what did He intend for us to draw from the passages of scripture that encompass the topic?Robby Lashua is the lead pastor at Palmcroft Church in Phoenix, Arizona. Having also served with Stand to Reason, he's a leading apologist who brings the defense of scripture and Biblical truth to bear powerfully within his teaching.In short, he's the perfect individual to help us answer these questions!

It sounds like something out of a science fiction film, but Anthropic's “Mythos” AI model is very much real, and powerful enough that the company is withholding its public release out of fear it could trigger large-scale, automated cyberattacks. Morgan Wright, CEO and founder of the National Center for Open and Unsolved Cases, and former security advisor for SentinelOne joins The Rundown to pull back the curtain on frontier AI, explaining the true threat these models pose, and how they can be regulated without hindering innovation.

Birthright citizenship guarantees citizenship to anyone born within the United States' territory, regardless of a parent's nationality. But should this legal principle be removed from the Constitution? Those arguing it shouldn't say that it prevents children from being punished for their parents' status, while encouraging long-term economic and civic contributions. But those calling to end the practice argue it fuels illegal immigration and strains the overburdened immigration system. Now, we debate: Should America End Birthright Citizenship? This ethical conundrum is at the crux of this week's debate, originally broadcast in October 2025. Arguing Yes: Mark Krikorian, Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies Horace Cooper, Senior Fellow at the National Center for Public Policy Research; Chairman of the Project 21 National Advisory Board Arguing No: Kris Mayes, Arizona Attorney General Chris Newman, Legal Director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates Join the conversation on Substack - share your perspective on this episode and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for curated insights from our debaters, moderators, and staff.

DOCKET ALERTS: A federal judge in Colorado enjoined the National Science Foundation from shutting down the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder. APA, FTW! The DC Circuit ruled that Pete Hegseth's policy kicking out all trans service members and barring enlistment by anyone who ever had a diagnosis of gender dysphoria is rooted in animus and cannot stand. But the remedy was narrowly cabined to the plaintiffs in this case, and only those who are currency active duty. The Supreme Court let Alabama redraw its Congressional maps while primary voting was already underway and use a racially-discriminatory map in order to squeeze one more Republican seat in Congress out for the 2026 midterms. Doofus of the Day: BATMAN! Eric Batman, some whiny dork in LA who says his Christian faith means that he has to work from home during June lest he be oppressed by a trans flag flying outside his office. The grifters at Liberty Counsel eagerly fundraising off their preposterous trollsuit on Doofus's behalf. MAIN SHOW: The DOJ filed a superseding indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center. It's meant to remedy the obvious deficiencies in the first indictment, but it actually seems to bolster the SPLC's claim that they were trying to protect informants, not take down donors. Meanwhile, DOJ seems to have leaked a draft version of the new indictment to reporters before presenting it to the grand jurors, potentially violating grand jury secrecy. SPLC moved for a show cause order forcing DOJ to explain "its conduct and why it should not be sanctioned considering the prejudicial consequences at stake here." Back in Chicago, US Attorney Andrew Boutros explained that he wasn't inappropriately trying to voir dire the grand jury. Perish the thought! And how very dare you, sir! He was just advising them that if they didn't think they could convict, they should put their hands up and explain themselves. Ummmmm…..

In this episode, host Dr. Amy Grosso speaks with Alejandra Monroy, Prevention Program Manager for Outreach and Prevention at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), about the realities of internet safety and how adults can better support children navigating online spaces. The conversation emphasizes that online safety is not achieved through rules and parental controls alone, but through ongoing communication, skill-building, and creating environments where children and teens feel comfortable seeking helpKEY POINTS:Ongoing, open conversations are one of the most effective tools for helping children and teens stay safe online.Online risks now extend across social media, gaming, AI, and peer interactions, requiring adults to understand how children experience digital spaces.Children and teens are more likely to make safer choices and seek support when adults foster trust, communication, and problem-solving skills.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics of the United States, roughly 37 percent of US adults consume fast food on a daily basis.根据美国国家卫生统计中心的数据,大约37%的美国成年人每天都会食用快餐。The center found a significant rise in the number of severe obesity cases in very young children aged 2 to 5.该中心发现,2至5岁幼儿的严重肥胖病例数量显著增加。Thank you so much for having us here in your home.非常感谢您邀请我们到您家做客。Zobaida Falah, an Ohio-based Muslim entrepreneur, launched her snack bar company called Cure in June 2016佐拜达·法拉赫是一位来自俄亥俄州的穆斯林企业家,她于2016年6月创办了一家名为“Cure”的小吃店,in an effort to end unhealthy food habits and raise awareness about proper nutrition and its benefits.旨在消除不健康的饮食习惯,并提高人们对合理营养及其益处的认识。To fight obesity and junk food habits, Falah created a line of organic healthy bars for all. The idea come to her when she was teaching math and English to kids.为了对抗肥胖和垃圾食品习惯,法拉赫为所有人推出了一系列有机健康棒,她教孩子们英语和数学时,有了这个主意。I would watch my students to come into the classroom, eating chips and soda, refined sugars, bad carbs.我看着我的学生们走进教室,吃着薯片、喝着汽水,里面含有精制糖和不健康的碳水化合物。And anytime I asked them why do you guys eat so poorly, a very common response was healthy food just doesn't taste good.每当我问他们为什么吃得这么不健康时,一个非常常见的回答是健康食品就是不好吃。With taste in her mind, Falah started experimenting on a unique recipe inspired by her grandmother.法拉赫脑海中想着那种味道,开始尝试一种受她祖母启发的独特食谱。Ingredients include a mixture of nuts, flavorful seeds, honey and black seeds.配料包括坚果混合物、风味种子、蜂蜜和黑籽。It took off. But to this day she still runs her business from home, meeting roughly four to six thousand orders a month.直到今天她仍然在家经营业务,每月大约处理四千到六千份订单。Falah doesn't just want to change people's health but also tackle hunger as she donates a snack bar to the homeless for ages when sold.法拉赫不仅想改变人们的健康状况,还想解决饥饿问题,因为她每卖出一份零食棒,就会长期为无家可归者捐赠一份。We have a social movement and mission behind the company, which means that when we first launched we would donate a bar for every bar that we sold and we would donate it to people experiencing homelessness.我们公司背负社会运动和使命,这意味着我们刚推出产品时,每售出一份产品就会捐赠一份给无家可归的人。And as the company has grown and we've expanded and added new product lines to our brand.随着公司的发展壮大,我们扩大了业务范围并为品牌新增了多条产品线。Now we actually donate a percentage of all of our profits towards alleviating world hunger.现在,我们实际上会将所有利润的一定比例捐赠出去,用于缓解世界饥饿问题。Falah says her company has helped more than 200,000 poor people in the U.S. and abroad, including refugees in Syria, Morocco, Palestine, and Gambia. 法拉赫说,她的公司已经帮助了美国和国外超过20万人,包括叙利亚、摩洛哥、巴勒斯坦和冈比亚的难民。
Carnival of Lies ////// Part 4 Part 4 of 4 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com May 25th is National Missing Children's Day. President Ronald Reagan proclaimed May 25, 1983 as the first National Missing Children's Day. He established the annual observance to bring national awareness to child safety and encourage communities to prioritize protection efforts. The date was chosen to mark the sad anniversary of the disappearance of Etan Patz, a six-year-old who vanished from a New York City street corner on May 25, 1979. Twelve years after Etan Patz disappeared and on National Missing Children's Day 1991, a five-year-old boy named Timothy Wiltsey vanished from a Carnival in Sayreville, New Jersey. This week in observance of National Missing Children's Day, we take a look at a case that will never leave the hearts and minds of many. This is the unsolved case of Timothy “Timmy” Wiltsey.

Creating a Family: Talk about Infertility, Adoption & Foster Care
Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!Raising kids while caring for aging parents is more common than ever—and often overwhelming. We talk with Robyn Wind, the GRAND Voices Support Coordinator for the National Center on Grandfamilies at Generations United, about the realities of sandwich generation caregiving and practical ways foster, adoptive, and kinship families can find support. In this episode, we discuss:Can we start with a working definition of the term “sandwich generation”?How have you seen that definition evolve in recent years? From your work with the National Center on Grandfamilies and Generations United, what are you seeing right now that suggests this is becoming a bigger issue? What are the most common pressures you hear caregivers talk about?Where do you see caregivers feeling the most “pulled apart” between generations for whom they are caring? What are the moments when they feel like they can't meet everyone's needs at once?Are there differences in how this shows up for: Parents of young children vs. teens? Kinship caregivers or grandparents raising grandchildren? Many of our listeners are already parenting children with trauma or complex needs. How does that layer onto sandwich caregiving? Do you see unique challenges for kinship caregivers who may already be caring for grandchildren and are now also caring for aging spouses or siblings? What are some ways systems unintentionally fail these families? Where do they tend to fall through the cracks? What would better support look like if systems were truly designed for multigenerational families? What are the early signs that a caregiver is stretched too thin and at risk?What does realistic self-care actually look like in this season of life? How do you advise the caregivers you support to balance guilt or feelings of inadequacy, given that there is SO much need on both sides of their sandwich?What supports should caregivers try to put in place early? How can families share this sandwich-caring experience more effectively, instead of having one person carry it all? What resources or programs from Generations United should caregivers know about? What strengths do you see in sandwich generation families that we don't talk about enough?

As the Trump administration pushes to expand fossil fuel infrastructure, it may have found some unexpected allies: Democratic governors in New England. POLITICO's Ben Storrow breaks down what's driving that shift in a region long defined by its climate ambitions, how the White House and green groups are responding, and what it could mean for the future of Democratic energy policy. Plus, seven states filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's nearly $1 billion deal with TotalEnergies to cancel its offshore wind leases in the United States, and a federal judge stopped the Trump administration on Monday from dismantling the National Center for Atmospheric Research, which is one of the country's top climate science organizations.

Identity theft criminals highly target some of the most vulnerable individuals in our communities. With a growing increase in identity fraud and other scams today, it's critical that we do our parts to protect those in our lives most at risk of identity scams and especially elder abuse. Links: Learn more and get helpful resources from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) To learn more about how to recognize, help prevent, and respond to elder mistreatment, visit the National Center on Elder Abuse Learn more about the identity protection benefits with a Better Checking account Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast. At Triangle, protecting the financial well-being of you and your loved ones is a top priority. June is Elder Abuse Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness of the financial exploitation and other forms of abuse that disproportionately affect older adults. Elder abuse can take many forms. It could be physical, emotional, or financial, and it could be due to neglect or due to exploitation. Often, elder abuse goes unreported due to fear, shame, or isolation. Did you know? Financial exploitation is the most common form of elder abuse—and it often goes unnoticed until significant damage is done. Scams, fraud, and even manipulation by trusted individuals can leave lifelong financial and emotional impacts. How you can help: Learn the warning signs of financial abuse Financial abuse doesn't always look obvious—and that's what makes it so dangerous. It can start subtly: a sudden spike in withdrawals or transfers, unfamiliar charges, or changes in spending patterns that just don't seem to add up. You might notice unpaid bills piling up—even though your loved one has more than enough money to cover them. Other warning signs include new names appearing on accounts, unexpected changes to wills or power of attorney, or unfamiliar individuals accompanying your loved one to financial appointments and speaking on their behalf. Trust your instincts—if something feels off, it's worth taking a closer look. Staying informed about these red flags is one of the most powerful ways to step in early and help protect someone you care about. Learn more about common ways older adults may be at risk and get access to helpful resources from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) at consumerfinance.gov or use the link in the show notes. Check in regularly with older family members Consistent, meaningful connection is one of the strongest defenses against financial exploitation. Social isolation can make older adults more vulnerable—not just to scams, but to manipulation by people they trust. That's why regular check-ins matter so much. These don't have to be formal conversations about money. A simple phone call, a coffee visit, or asking how things are going can open the door for your loved one to share concerns. Over time, these check-ins build trust and create a safe environment where they feel comfortable speaking up if something doesn't seem right. It's not just about vigilance—it's about showing care, maintaining dignity, and helping them feel supported every step of the way. Report suspicious financial activity If you notice something unusual—whether it's account activity that doesn't make sense or changes in behavior that raise concern—don't wait. Acting quickly can prevent further loss and protect your loved one from deeper harm. Start by contacting your financial institution to flag the activity—they can often help monitor accounts, stop transactions, or add safeguards. You can also reach out to your local Adult Protective Services, who are trained to investigate and intervene in cases of suspected abuse. Speaking up might feel uncomfortable, but it can make a critical difference. Reporting concerns is not about causing trouble—it's about protecting someone's well-being and ensuring they have the support they need. Together, we can help protect the financial independence and dignity of older adults in our community. To learn more about how to recognize, help prevent, and respond to elder mistreatment, visit the National Center on Elder Abuse at elderjustice.usc.edu or check the link in the show notes. Need help or have concerns? Our staff is trained to recognize signs of financial abuse. Call us at (800) 276-2470 or visit your nearest branch for confidential support.

Carnival of Lies ////// Part 2 Part 2 of 4 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com May 25th is National Missing Children's Day. President Ronald Reagan proclaimed May 25, 1983 as the first National Missing Children's Day. He established the annual observance to bring national awareness to child safety and encourage communities to prioritize protection efforts. The date was chosen to mark the sad anniversary of the disappearance of Etan Patz, a six-year-old who vanished from a New York City street corner on May 25, 1979. Twelve years after Etan Patz disappeared and on National Missing Children's Day 1991, a five-year-old boy named Timothy Wiltsey vanished from a Carnival in Sayreville, New Jersey. This week in observance of National Missing Children's Day, we take a look at a case that will never leave the hearts and minds of many. This is the unsolved case of Timothy “Timmy” Wiltsey.

What does it take to rebuild the foundation of public health in the United States, and why did it take 30 years to get here? Director of the Division of Jurisdictional Support, CDC's Public Health Infrastructure Center, Stacey Madison Jenkins breaks down the Public Health Infrastructure Grant (PHIG), a $4.6 billion investment reaching more than 100 health departments nationwide. Designed to strengthen the core of the system, not just respond to crises, PHIG is funding workforce expansion, modern data systems, and the everyday capabilities that keep communities safe. Jenkins explains how a nationwide shortage of 80,000 public health workers pushed the system to the brink, and how targeted investments are already putting thousands of professionals back into the field. From improving food safety inspections in Texas to doubling clinic capacity in Oklahoma and modernizing disease tracking in Nebraska, the results are tangible, local, and often invisible when they're working well.This work is supported by funds made available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Center for STLT Public Health Infrastructure and Workforce, through OE22-2203: Strengthening U.S. Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and Data Systems grant.

Operation Tidal Wave was a coordinated federal action in which CBP and HSI agents boarded eight cruise ships docked in San Diego and detained 27 crew members allegedly connected to CSAM — child sexual abuse material — based on intelligence provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Agents had identified targets before the vessels arrived. Ten reportedly served aboard the Disney Magic. Four were employed by Holland America. All 27 were deported within approximately two weeks. KPBS confirmed that as of their reporting, federal prosecutors in both the Southern District of California and the Central District of California had no record of charges filed against any of the detained crew.The absence of prosecution raises a procedural question with systemic implications: if deportation without criminal proceedings is the default federal response, no public record is created, no registry entry is generated, and no mechanism exists to prevent the same individuals from being rehired through the same third-party agencies that placed them originally.The prosecuted cases across the industry illustrate what the screening system is failing to catch. A Royal Caribbean cabin attendant was sentenced to 30 years after pleading guilty to placing hidden recording devices in passenger cabins — families with passengers as young as two were among those secretly recorded. A Celebrity Cruises youth program counselor allegedly went undetected for four months while deliberately avoiding security cameras, according to an FBI affidavit. A 6-year-old passenger was the one who reported it. Two Princess Cruises employees received a combined 45 years for pursuing a teenager and exchanging illegal material involving very young children. Three crew members were charged aboard the same Disney vessel within a two-month window.Cruise Law News reports approximately 200 crew accused within roughly two years. Federal court filings and DOJ records document the same structural pattern across Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, Carnival, and Holland America: international hiring through third-party staffing agencies with limited background verification and no industry-wide shared registry.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Federal agents had names before the ships docked. Operation Tidal Wave targeted 27 crew members across eight cruise ships in San Diego based on intelligence from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. CBP and HSI coordinated the boarding. Every one of the 27 was detained. Every one was deported. Not a single charge was filed. KPBS confirmed federal prosecutors in both San Diego and Los Angeles had no record of prosecution as of their reporting. One passenger on the Disney Magic watched her family's dining host get taken away in handcuffs, still in his blazer, forty-five minutes after serving them breakfast.Disney's response was a zero-tolerance statement. What went unaddressed is the screening pipeline — how these individuals were hired, vetted, and placed on ships carrying families. Ten of the 27 reportedly worked on the Disney Magic alone. Four came from Holland America.That gap in the system isn't isolated. Federal court filings and FBI affidavits document a pattern spanning every major cruise line. A Royal Caribbean attendant was sentenced to 30 years after pleading guilty to placing hidden devices in passenger cabins to secretly record families — including passengers as young as two. A Celebrity kids' club counselor allegedly went undetected for four months while deliberately avoiding ship cameras, according to the FBI. A 6-year-old was the one who reported it. Two Princess crew members received a combined 45 years after pursuing a teenager and exchanging illegal content involving very young children. Three crew were charged on the same Disney ship within two months. According to Cruise Law News, nearly 200 crew have been accused in approximately two years. The connecting thread is structural: international crew hired through third-party agencies with limited screening, no shared offender registry, and identical corporate language from every company named.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A mother on the Disney Magic watched her family's personal dining host get loaded into a white van in handcuffs — still in his blazer — forty-five minutes after he served them breakfast. For two weeks, the public assumed it was an immigration sweep. It was not.Operation Tidal Wave was a coordinated federal action. CBP and HSI boarded eight ships docked in San Diego and detained 27 crew members allegedly connected to CSAM, based on intelligence from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Agents had names before the ships arrived. Ten reportedly worked on the Disney Magic. Four came from Holland America. All 27 were deported. KPBS confirmed that no charges were filed by federal prosecutors in San Diego or Los Angeles as of their reporting. Every one of them left the country without facing a courtroom.The behavioral question is what that pattern enables. If detention and deportation is the endpoint — no prosecution, no public record, no registry — then the system that failed to screen these individuals also fails to track them once they're gone. And the cases that did reach prosecution tell you what's at stake. A Royal Caribbean attendant sentenced to 30 years for secretly recording families in their cabins — passengers as young as two. A Celebrity kids' club counselor who allegedly avoided cameras for four months until a 6-year-old reported it. Two Princess employees sentenced to a combined 45 years. Three crew charged on the same Disney ship in two months.According to Cruise Law News, nearly 200 crew have been accused in approximately two years. Federal filings expose the same structural failure across Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess, Carnival, and Holland America: third-party hiring agencies, limited screening, no shared registry.

When Samuel Shepherd was diagnosed with a rare terminal blood cancer, doctors told him there was no treatment, no cure, and possibly very little time left. For many people, that would have been the end of the story. For Samuel, it became the beginning of an obsession. A physicist, engineer and inventor with decades of experience across biochemistry, environmental science and high-level government projects, Samuel turned all of his knowledge towards one goal: staying alive. What followed was years of relentless research, experimentation and a refusal to accept inevitability. This conversation is different from most episodes of Mid-Life Men. It's part survival story, part deep dive into inflammation, disease and the science behind Samuel's discovery of a naturally occurring molecule called 'astaxanthin' – and why he believes it changed everything for him. But beneath the science is something more human: what happens psychologically when you're told your life may be ending how fear can completely change shape why purpose matters when everything familiar falls away and what relentless determination really looks like in practice Whether you agree with Samuel's conclusions or not, this is a fascinating conversation about resilience, mortality, curiosity and refusing to give up when the odds look impossible.If you want to find independent research on astaxanthin, go to the National Institute of Health website or the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

On February 4, 2003, four-year-old Sofia Juarez left her home in Kennewick, Washington, with a dollar in her hand and plans to walk to a nearby store. She never made it there. What followed was Washington State's first AMBER Alert, a massive search, and a case that has haunted Sofia's family and community for more than two decades. Over the years, investigators have pursued witness statements, vehicle descriptions, possible sightings, and renewed leads including a viral TikTok video that brought Sofia's case back into the national spotlight. In this episode, we walk through the day Sofia disappeared, the investigation that followed, the people still searching for answers, and the questions that remain. Sofia Lucerno Juarez was four years old when she disappeared from Kennewick, Washington, on February 4, 2003. She is Hispanic, with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time, she was about 3 feet tall and weighed around 33 pounds. She was last seen wearing a blue or red long-sleeved shirt, blue overalls, violet socks, white shoes, and gold hoop earrings. She may use the last name Hernandez.

It’s estimated that 1 in 10 adults experience tinnitus, often described as a phantom ringing noise in the ears. The condition can develop due to head trauma, hearing loss, exposure to loud noise or as a side effect of certain medications. There’s no cure for tinnitus and its origins have long been a mystery. But new research from Oregon Health & Science University has linked tinnitus with elevated serotonin levels in certain regions of the brain. While far from a cure, the discovery could one day help scientists understand how to reverse the condition through brain chemistry. Larry Trussell is a professor of otolaryngology at OHSU and interim director of the Oregon Hearing Research Center. Angie Garinis is an associate professor of otolaryngology at OHSU and a member of the Oregon Hearing Research Center. She’s also a principal investigator at the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research at the Portland VA. They both join us to talk about what this new information could mean for patients who suffer from tinnitus.

Continuing the conversation with Kim Kalina, we explore her view that classical homeopathy remains the grounded foundation for all other approaches, including trituration, provings, and more intuitive methods. A central theme is whether the field truly needs more remedies, or whether deeper engagement with existing remedies may be more important. She also discusses ancestral healing, sharing how family trauma can appear to influence present-day symptoms in patients. The conversation touches on the importance of staying grounded in provings and energetic work through intention, awareness, and personal practice.

Kim Kalina's path into homeopathy began after her son's health struggles led her to look beyond conventional treatments and eventually discover a different way of understanding healing. From there, she went on to study homeopathy and build a career as both a practitioner and educator, shaped in part by her earlier background in social work and psychotherapy. She reflects on how this combination of experiences informs her approach, especially when working with emotional issues and trauma. We also talk through her training with CEASE therapy under the late Tinus Smits, including her experiences supporting children with autism and her reflections on individualized care rather than broad protocols. Kim also shares her long-term involvement with triturations and why she values the hands-on process of preparing remedies as part of deepening a homeopath's understanding. Episode Highlights: 03:12 - Finding homeopathy through my son 08:10 - Full-on learning, no holding back 10:50 - Teaching that truly connects 17:14 - Tinus Smits: A Mentor's Influence 23:36 - CEASE Therapy and Its Evolution 27:03 - Focusing on what works better 34:12 - When less truly becomes more 37:01 - Two distinct paths to healing 41:56 - Teaching methods that stay with students 44:27 - Continuing Tinus's legacy forward About my Guests: Kim Kalina is a professional homeopath with over 25 years of international teaching and clinical experience.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, Chuck Warren and Sam Stone are joined by Manhattan Institute Cities policy analyst Santiago Vidal Calvo and Washington Free Beacon editor and Middle East Forum junior fellow Alex Welz, plus a special radio edition of B's Corner true crime. Santiago Vidal Calvo Born in Caracas and now leading the Manhattan Institute's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) efforts, Santiago opens with an on-the-ground report from Venezuela following the capture of Maduro — including the first American Airlines flight back to Caracas in nearly a decade — and explains why Trump must press for elections in Venezuela before the U.S. midterms if his policy is to survive a potential shift in Congress. He walks through how government agencies have weaponized "privacy" exemptions and bureaucratic stonewalling to block public records requests, and why Manhattan Institute is willing to take these fights to court when ordinary citizens cannot. Santiago then breaks down his Daily Wire piece on New Jersey Transit's $150 train ticket from Penn Station to MetLife for the 2026 World Cup — versus a $60 Uber on the same route — and contrasts New Jersey's mismanagement with Kansas City's pro-tourism approach of expanded bar and restaurant hours. In the second segment, he unpacks Mayor Zohran Mamdani's "racial equity plan" and the redefinition of poverty in New York City through a $150,000 "true cost of living" benchmark — which conveniently labels two-thirds of the richest city in America as unable to afford it, justifying a massive expansion of government with 400 new indicators and 600 goals. Santiago argues the real diagnosis isn't race but housing supply, the rent freeze, and the cost of opening a business. Follow Santiago on X: @SantiVidalC B's Corner B brings the 1981 disappearance and murder of 6-year-old Adam Walsh from a Sears in Hollywood, Florida — a case that took 27 years to officially close, briefly entangled Jeffrey Dahmer as a suspect, and was ultimately tied to serial killer Ottis Toole. Out of unimaginable tragedy, Adam's father John Walsh launched America's Most Wanted, founded the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and helped drive the creation of the Amber Alert system. The team also revisits the era of the Sears catalog and what that brand once meant to American life. Alex Welz, an editor at the Washington Free Beacon and a junior fellow at the Middle East Forum with a master's in national security from the University of Haifa, walks through the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, why disarming Hezbollah remains a generational challenge despite UN Resolution 1701 and the Taif Agreement. On Iran, Alex argues the regime turned out far less fragile than Venezuela-style optimists hoped, but ballistic missile capacity, the navy, and oil revenues have all been dramatically degraded, and the latest wave of protests could still force a fold. In the podcast segment, the conversation deepens and Alex shares his prediction for where Iran stands by November 2026.

He has filed multiple lawsuits challenging a range of Trump administration anti-transgender executive orders. He is one of the nation's foremost experts on conversion therapy, helping to draft and pass legislation in states to protect LGBTQ youth and support survivors. He served as lead counsel in the landmark California marriage equality case, and he led NCLR's contributions to multiple Supreme Court cases, such as Pavan v. Smith, Obergefell v. Hodges, and Christian Legal Society v. Martinez. An appointee to President Obama's Commission on White House Fellowships, Shannon was one of the most senior transgender appointees in the Obama administration. He has taught law at UCLA, Stanford, Golden Gate University, and Santa Clara University. Shannon is currently counsel in six cases challenging the Trump administration's anti-transgender policies, including Talbott v. Trump, which seeks to restore the right of transgender Americans to serve openly in the armed forces. His work challenging anti-transgender military policies spans nearly a decade — he previously challenged the 2017 transgender military ban under the first Trump administration, and co-chaired the Planning Commission on Transgender Military Service, which produced a comprehensive study demonstrating that inclusive service policies are both administratively feasible and militarily beneficial. Shannon has been at the forefront of efforts to protect LGBTQ+ youth from conversion therapy. He founded NCLR's Born Perfect project, a national campaign to end conversion therapy through legislation, litigation, and public education. He has helped draft laws protecting LGBTQ youth from conversion therapy across the country and continues to advocate for legal remedies to hold practitioners accountable for the harm they cause, including through malpractice, consumer fraud claims, and professional licensing sanctions. Shannon was lead counsel for same-sex couples in the landmark California marriage equality case, which was the first state supreme court decision to hold that same-sex couples have a fundamental right to marry and that laws discriminating based on sexual orientation are subject to the highest level of constitutional scrutiny. He was also counsel for married same-sex couples from Tennessee in Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision establishing marriage equality nationwide, and NCLR's lead attorney in Pavan v. Smith, a 2017 Supreme Court decision requiring equal treatment of same-sex parents, and in Christian Legal Society v. Martinez, a U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding nondiscrimination policies based on sexual orientation and gender identity. In 2015, President Obama appointed Shannon to the President's Commission on White House Fellowships, making him one of the most senior transgender appointees in the Obama administration. Shannon called the appointment a reflection of the President's commitment to building a government that reflects the full diversity of the American people. He is co-editor of Transgender Rights (2006), the first comprehensive book on the transgender civil rights movement. Among his many honors, Shannon has received the ABA's Stonewall Award, the Ford Foundation's Leadership for a Changing World Award, the Cornell Law School Exemplary Public Service Award, the Dan Bradley Award from the National LGBTQ Bar Association, and the California Lawyer of the Year designation from California Lawyer magazine.

What does it take to build and sustain a strong public health workforce in uncertain times? In this episode Kirsten Aird, public health director for Oregon's Multnomah County, explores how strategic investments are strengthening workforce capacity, stability, and community impact. Aird breaks down how PHIG funding is being used to support professional development, create staff-led communities of practice, and tackle long-standing hiring challenges, including restoring leadership continuity after years of vacancies. She also highlights the critical role of “behind-the-scenes” infrastructure like HR, finance, and operations, in enabling frontline public health work.This work is supported by funds made available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Center for STLT Public Health Infrastructure and Workforce, through OE22-2203: Strengthening U.S. Public Health Infrastructure, Workforce, and Data Systems grant.

For years, many people believed our justice system was fair. And while it may not be pristine—the occasional flaw—for the most part it was impartial. Blind. Balanced. Fair?No, most people—at least in the United States, where the majority of available polling data focuses—do not believe the justice system is fair. Recent surveys consistently show widespread skepticism, with majorities viewing it as biased by factors like wealth, race, access to legal representation, or political influence.Key U.S. Polling DataA April 2026 national survey by Equal Justice Works (1,600+ respondents) found that 79% of Americans perceive the U.S. justice system as unfair. Only 50% were confident they would receive fair treatment themselves, and just 32% believed it is fair to individuals without legal representation. Many cited income as a key factor influencing outcomes. equaljusticeworks.orgGallup (2024) reported confidence in the nation's judicial system and courts at a record low of 35%—a sharp 24-point drop since 2020. This places the U.S. notably lower than other wealthy OECD countries. news.gallup.comEarlier Gallup data (2023) showed 49% of Americans viewing the criminal justice system as fair (down from 66% in 2003), with views split along partisan and racial lines—Whites and Republicans more likely to see it as fair, Democrats and people of color more critical. news.gallup.comOther polls reinforce this:State courts fare somewhat better, with around 62% expressing some trust (National Center for State Courts, 2025), but even there, agreement that they provide "equal justice" has declined over time (down to 44% in recent years).

On March 31st of this year, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a therapist in Colorado who argued that the state's ban on conversion therapy violated her freedom of speech. While the ruling does not endorse conversion therapy, it does allow the practice to continue, despite the fact that conversion therapy has been widely debunked as pseudoscience and dramatically increases the risk of depression and suicide in queer and trans youth. To understand the ruling and its impact, we hear from Mother Jones reporter Madison Pauly, who has been following the insidious rise of anti-trans conversion therapy, and Shannon Minter, the Legal Director of the National Center for LGBTQ Rights, who has been at the forefront of the legal battles for queer and trans rights for decades.

In the Nancy Guthrie investigation, the evidence collected in the first hours — the DNA from inside the home, the doorbell camera footage, the physical items left behind — is either going to solve this case or it isn't. The determining factor will be whether the people who handled that evidence from the very first moment were equipped for the responsibility. The Adam Walsh case is what happens when they aren't. And it's the most devastating evidence failure in modern American criminal history.In 1981, six-year-old Adam Walsh was abducted from a Sears store in Hollywood, Florida. Two weeks later, his severed head was found in a canal over a hundred miles away. A serial killer named Ottis Toole confessed — twice. He described the abduction, the murder, and the machete he used. His description matched the autopsy findings. The Hollywood Police Department had everything it needed to close this case.Then the department lost it all. The bloody carpet from Toole's car — the most critical piece of physical evidence — was "misplaced." The blood on the machete was never lifted for testing. The car itself vanished from police custody entirely. Photographs from the original evidence collection were never even developed — they sat in the case file for over two decades. Without physical evidence, Toole recanted. He was never charged. He died in prison in 1996 serving time for other crimes.It took twenty-seven years for Hollywood PD to officially name Toole as the killer and apologize for the department's failures. John Walsh channeled his grief into America's Most Wanted, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and AMBER Alerts. The system his son's case broke became the system his son's legacy rebuilt.The Guthrie case is active right now. The evidence chain is live. Every person who touches it is either preserving Nancy's chance at justice or compromising it. The Adam Walsh case is proof — permanent, irreversible proof — that when the wrong people handle the evidence, even a confession and a cooperating suspect aren't enough to deliver justice.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
