We discuss the long history of vigilante democracy in the US and its return in our current politics. The playing field is currently tilted in favor of these vigilante policies, but blue states can level the playing field by playing constitutional hardball. David reminds us that the American people have beat back movements to use vigilante power to enforce a reactionary agenda time and again. David's civic action toolkit recommendations are: 1) Get involved in local politics 2) Resistance works and there are a lot of opportunities to resist authoritarianism David Noll is the co-author of Vigilante Nation: How State-Sponsored Terror Threatens Our Democracy.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is facing significant criticism from state and local officials who feel abandoned due to diminishing federal support for critical cybersecurity programs. Many officials are concerned about their increasing reliance on self-driven initiatives, especially after cuts to the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center, which has been a crucial source of cybersecurity intelligence for over two decades. A recent survey revealed that a substantial portion of state and local governments lack adequate funding for cybersecurity, with 22% allocating no funds and 42% operating with annual budgets of less than $100,000. This situation raises alarms about the potential for increased vulnerability to cyberattacks, particularly from nation-state actors.In response to the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing new security guidance aimed at addressing the associated risks. This initiative will clarify how AI interacts with cybersecurity, focusing on securing AI systems, the adversarial use of AI, and leveraging AI to enhance cybersecurity measures. Additionally, a bipartisan bill known as the Validation and Evaluation for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence Act has been reintroduced in the Senate, aiming to establish guidelines for the responsible development and testing of AI systems. House appropriators are also proposing a significant funding increase for NIST, reflecting a commitment to bolster cybersecurity and innovation.The Federal Risk Management and Authorization Program (FedRAMP) has made strides in streamlining the approval process for government cloud services, achieving a significant reduction in wait times from over a year to approximately five weeks. This shift is part of a broader trend toward more efficient cloud authorization processes, with FedRAMP already approving more than twice as many services in fiscal year 2025 compared to the previous year. This development presents an opportunity for businesses to leverage FedRAMP-authorized stacks for government-related buyers and to build migration strategies accordingly.OpenAI has recently updated its ChatGPT platform, introducing new models and third-party tool connectors while facing scrutiny over the performance and security of its latest model, GPT-5. Despite the introduction of various user-focused options, security assessments have revealed significant vulnerabilities in GPT-5, prompting concerns about its safety and reliability. As companies like ConnectWise implement new credit card surcharges and adjust their workforce in response to market demands, the overarching theme emphasizes the need for operational discipline and strategic planning in navigating the evolving technology landscape.

With a keen focus on the intersection of lifestyle choices and health outcomes, Dr. Hieshetter draws on extensive research to inform her discussions on critical health topics, including alcohol consumption and its links to cancer. She has garnered appreciation for her analytical approach and commitment to empowering listeners to make informed health decisions. Episode Summary: Join Dr. Kristin Hieshetter as she delves into the critical connection between alcohol consumption and breast cancer on this episode of Functional Health Radio. As alcohol use remains prevalent, understanding its health implications becomes crucial, especially in light of emerging research. Dr. Kristin examines the cultural shifts in alcohol consumption and the heightened awareness about its potential risks, leading into an in-depth discussion based on recent medical findings. In this informative episode, Dr. Kristin highlights the sobering reality illustrated by recent studies, showcasing the increased risk of breast cancer associated with alcohol consumption. From alcohol's biological impact on estrogen levels to its epidemiological connection to various cancers, listeners will gain a comprehensive understanding of the inherent health risks. Dr. Kristin also provides practical advice on reducing these risks, emphasizing mindful consumption and advocating for better dietary and lifestyle choices to mitigate cancer risks. Key Takeaways: Alcohol is widely consumed but poses significant health risks, including increased cancer risk, particularly breast cancer. Studies reveal that every 10-gram increase in alcohol consumption raises breast cancer risk significantly. Alcohol contributes to numerous cancer types, raising estrogen levels, which can exacerbate cancer risk, especially in post-menopausal women. Reducing alcohol intake can significantly lower cancer risk, encouraging more mindful drinking habits. Mocktails, like a raspberry basil concoction, provide healthy, antioxidant-rich alternatives to alcohol. Notable Quotes: "People are just using [alcohol] to medicate, right? Like, well, screw it. The virus is still here, and it's snowing again. I'm gonna have myself a beverage." "Alcohol causes three out of four of those genetic mutations. Scary, right?" "If there's anything you can do to prevent from ever needing cancer or chemotherapy, I want to be in your corner helping coach you through that process." "Be safe, everybody. Okay? So these different patterns of alcohol drinking may have different effects on breast cancer." "One beverage a day raises your risk 200%. Say it again. Have a beverage on a holiday. Have a beverage once a month." Resources: PubMed - Source of numerous studies including data on alcohol and cancer.

The mechanisms behind Alzheimer's disease have eluded scientists for decades. But a new breakthrough points to lithium as a possible explanation—not only does it occur naturally in the brain, but a deficiency causes dementia in mice. This research is one of thousands of projects that have lost funding due to President Trump's cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Host Ira Flatow speaks with Alzheimer's researcher Bruce Yankner about this new finding, and then to epidemiologist Katelyn Jetelina and immunologist Elisabeth Marnik about the country's “quiet engine of science,” the NIH.Guests: Dr. Bruce Yankner is professor of genetics and neurology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts.Dr. Katelyn Jetelina, epidemiologist and author of the Your Local Epidemiologist newsletter.

Some excitement on Threadneedle Street today after the Bank of England cut interest rates to 4 per cent. The Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has just voted five to four – after a revote – for what is the third cut this year. This takes interest rates back down to levels not seen since the beginning of 2023. Concerns about an increasingly slack labour market seem to have driven the MPC's decision.This sounds like good news – and Starmer will welcome it as such – but the Bank's apparent comfort with loosening policy in this context is baffling says Michael Simmons. Its own forecasts show inflation climbing back to 4 per cent by September – double the official target. If they're wrong, and inflation slips the leash again, it won't be brought back under control easily. This also coincides with yesterday's news that the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) forecast that Rachel Reeves must find £50 billion of revenue or cuts if she is to return to the £9.9 billion of fiscal headroom she left herself in the spring. Are there any rays of light escaping from the black hole as we head towards autumn's Budget, or is it all gloom?Also on the podcast today: Trump's tariffs have come into effect across the world. He declared on Truth Social that ‘Billions of Dollars have started flowing into the US'… but is that true? And what's been the reaction in the US?Oscar Edmondson speaks to Michael Simmons and Kate Andrews.Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Welcome to a world where medicine meets politics: a space that brings together scientific research, government wrangling, public push-back and healthcare conspiracies…Dr Anthony Fauci was the Director of America's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for nearly four decades, during which time he not only helped study, treat and prevent viruses such as HIV/AIDS and Covid-19; he also advised seven US Presidents, from Ronald Regan through to Joe Biden.Along the way, Tony Fauci's picked up a public profile and taken a fair amount of flack; not least because of his complicated relationship with President Donald Trump. But he's also made great strides in medical research and policy, from working with activists who initially challenged him on the government response to HIV/AIDS - to spearheading the USA's PEPFAR project to share vital medication with developing nations.In a candid conversation with Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Tony discusses his childhood in Brooklyn, the dark early days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and lessons from the Covid-19.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced for BBC Studios by Lucy Taylor Reversion for World Service by Minnie Harrop

The Guys are back after an extended health crisis. News You Can Use and Share! MyHeritage added 540 million historical records in May and 1.25 billion records in June! Among these are 731 million records from French newspapers, part of a push to expand its vast collections of new records from non-English language resources. Vivid-Pix has partnered with the National Institute for Dementia Education (NIDE) and PocketRN, through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, to assist in caring for aging memory care patients and their caregivers. FamilySearch International and Michigan State University have announced an extensive expansion to MSU's online collection, Enslaved, at https://enslaved.org/, and at FamilySearch.org. The new dataset uses the 1900 U.S. federal census records to document formerly enslaved individuals and their families. (Enslaved.org is worthy of your financial support.) FamilySearch added 30 million new records from eight (8) countries, including Italian civil registration records, Brazilian cemetery records, and records from the American Medical Association's deceased physicians (1864-1968). Listener Email Joanne was thrilled with MyHeritage's addition of 1926 Canada Census records of Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. These included both of her parents! Judi shares that Essex County, New Jersey, newspapers are accessible at the Newark [NJ] Public Library, and that the Newark News can be searched online.

She is searching for resources and forums for discussions of strategies. George suggested contacting the National Genealogical Society for assistance. Mary is seeking advice on determining the parentage of an illegitimate ancestor. Drew offers advice about the use of DNA testing strategies. Lisa asks about the 1860 U.S. federal census agricultural census. Column 44 asks about molasses and its suggestions of values of the source: M for maple and S for sorghum. She has seen the value of ‘CC' and wonders what that indicates. The Guys cannot find anything in any enumerator instructions, and they ask other listeners to share their knowledge and experience on this issue. Drew provides a recap of his experiences at the South Carolina Genealogical Society's Summer Workshop in Columbia in July.

A new online map demonstrates the local economic impact of cuts in federal research funding. One of the map’s creators says more than $100M and 500 jobs have been eliminated from Pennsylvania's economy since the Trump administration canceled hundreds of research projects that were funded by the National Institutes of Health. State lawmakers are considering legislation that would require home sellers in Pennsylvania to disclose flood risk to potential buyers, with the goal of encouraging more people to get flood insurance. The UPMC health system is coming under federal scrutiny over services it provides to transgender men and women. Many Pennsylvania communities are losing access to pharmacies. Hundreds of pharmacies across the state have gone out of business, and their numbers are diminishing with the ongoing Rite Aid bankruptcy closures, according to data obtained by our partners at Spotlight PA. Pennsylvania's Department of Human Services is bringing thousands of employees back to Harrisburg in a reevaluation of post-pandemic workforce balances.

Why We Forget Things...AKA Brain FogMedications - Drugs known to impact memory include (anxiety meds like Xanax and Valium, statins (used to control cholesterol), anti-seizure meds, beta blockers, antidepressants, opioids and a certain class of sleeping pills.Depression or anxiety - When you're depressed, your brain is not working at 100%. It's not paying attention to things as well as it usually does, and the memory areas are not doing what they usually do.Diet - Research links ultraprocessed foods with cognitive decline and an increased risk of dementia.Sleep - Not getting enough sleep can make it harder to concentrate, learn new things and create new memories, according to the National Institutes of Health.Trouble hearing - New research suggests a connection between hearing loss and brain health, but hearing aids can help. The study links hearing aids with a 19% lower risk of long-term cognitive decline.Multitasking - Being distracted affects your ability to focus and remember things, and one study finds that multitaskers often have trouble recalling information. And they were young people.Restuarant Red FlagsIt's dirtyThe place is empty - If it's a Monday night, this isn't concerning, but if the dining room is empty during peak hours on a weekend...There's no management presence - Managers are visible in the dining room, greeting customers, talking to tables and helping servers when needed, but if you can't tell who's in charge, it might be because no one is.It's overloaded with social media influencers - Sure, they can help get people in the door, but they might be getting special treatment and freebies to promote a restaurant. The staff argues with you - Mistakes will be made, but staff members should own it and try to make it up to you when that happens. It doesn't matter how good the food is, if the staff argues with you, it ruins the experience.Servers don't know the menu - It shows poor training and “a lack of pride in the product.”You're being upsold aggressively - When it feels like a script or they're harassing you, it's a sign the restaurant is struggling and doesn't care about hospitality as much as sales.New Cheating EmojisAccording to private investigator Paul Jones from ARF Private Investigators, there are some random, innocent-looking emojis that aren't really so innocent. Jones says that if you find your partner texting the croissant or padlock emojis, they're probably cheating on you. “On the surface, it might look innocent, but there's usually a deeper meaning,” Jones explained. “We've had people using a croissant emoji as a way of saying ‘meet me for breakfast,' or the letter emoji as a subtle ‘text me when you're free.'”Second Date UpdateDean and Ariel met on Hinge, and after a fun back-and-forth over messaging, they decided to meet in person. Their first date was sushi and sake bombs in Fremont. She has pulled a Casper.
Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Elias Klemperer from the University of Vermont, USA. Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Dr Elias Klemperer behavioural scientist and licenced clinical psychologist, Department of Psychiatry, University of Vermont, USA. Elias works in the field of tobacco regulatory science and tobacco control. He has a special interest in long-term users of both cigarettes and e-cigarettes, dual users, a group who take in nicotine via two methods. In the July podcast Elias Klemperer discusses his recent 2 × 2 factorial trial randomized trial of nicotine replacement therapy (patches and lozenges) in 396 young adult dual users aged 18–29 (DOI: 10.1093/ntr/ntaf119). In a randomized factorial trial participants are randomly placed into different groups to test more than one treatment at the same time. The study was funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Cancer Institute, USA. Elias Klemperer and his team carried out this study as little is known regarding nicotine replacement therapy for young adult dual users, or whether to recommend quitting versus continuing e-cigarettes during smoking cessation treatment. The participants received 12 weeks of combination NRT compared to no NRT for stopping smoking, plus text-based treatment recommendations to quit or to continue using e-cigarettes. This advice was delivered via written material, an animated video they developed in-house, and text message support during the 12-week treatment period. The study looked at abstinence from cigarettes at 12 and 24 weeks. Their study found that NRT was effective in promoting early smoking cessation among young adult dual users. Their secondary findings indicated that pairing NRT with support to quit both products could enhance the effects on prolonged cigarette abstinence. This podcast is a companion to the electronic cigarettes Cochrane living systematic review and Interventions for quitting vaping review and shares the evidence from the monthly searches. Our search for the EC for smoking cessation review carried out on 1st July 2025 found six papers linked studies included in the review (10.1101/2025.05.06.25327053; 10.1016/j.jacadv.2025.101833; 10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2025.112740; 10.1186/s13722-025-00575-w; 10.1038/s41598-025-03904-w; 10.1136/bmjopen-2024-098005). Our search for our interventions for quitting vaping review up to 1st July 2025 found one new study by Klemperer et al discussed in this podcast (10.1093/ntr/ntaf119), one new ongoing study (10.1136/bmjopen-2024-096963), and two linked papers (10.1093/heapro/daaf085; 10.1016/j.jadohealth.2025.04.012).

What if the sudden mood changes, crushing fatigue, or unexpected anxiety you're experiencing aren't just stress or part of getting older, but signs of depression linked to perimenopause? In this episode, ADAA member expert and psychiatrist Dr. Crystal Clark joins host Gabe Howard to shine a light on one of the most overlooked mental health issues affecting women: the biological storm of perimenopause and its deep connection to depression and anxiety. They break down why up to 40% of women experience depression during this hormonal transition — and why so many are told to just “tough it out.”You'll learn the early warning signs to watch for, the science behind hormonal shifts and mental health, and why dismissing symptoms as “normal aging” could be harmful. Plus, they explore how therapy, medication, lifestyle shifts, and even hormone therapy can play a role in recovery. Whether you're in perimenopause, supporting someone who is, or just want to understand this life stage, this episode delivers clarity, compassion, and concrete takeaways. This episode has been sponsored by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). Our guest, Dr. Crystal Clark, is an internationally recognized psychiatrist in women's mental health. She holds a Canada Research Chair in Reproductive Mental Health. She is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto, and the Associate Head of Research at Women's College Hospital. Dr. Clark specializes in mood and anxiety disorders specifically across the reproductive life span (from menstruation to peri and post menopause).

Rich Brown is a retired Marine Corps Officer, former Police Officer, and the Co-Host of America's leading Self-Defense podcast, the American Warrior Show. On today's American Warrior Show, we will be joined by Mike Chesne. Mike founded Tecton after a storied 25-year career in the United States Army Special Operations. At Tecton, as Chairman of the Board and Chief of Innovation, he maintains the corporate vision and mission while continuing to delve deeply into scientific exploration to create new and innovative ways to broaden the scope and breadth of Tecton's product portfolio and intellectual property landscape. At the outset of Tecton, he developed the biochemical makeup and design for the Tecton Ketone molecule. He then methodically worked on the methods, processes, and procedures necessary to formulate and manufacture the molecule from the benchtop to large-scale manufacturing. This process was designed to make it the most energy-efficient and environmentally friendly process possible, beginning with organic byproducts and enzymes and finishing with no hazardous waste. Mike founded an emergency medical supply company shortly before retiring from the army. This company developed trauma and emergency medical kits for all branches of the United States Department of Defense, as well as many of our NATO allied countries, and some of these kits are still standard issue in several different military forces to this day. Mike exited this business (Caromeds) and went into global healthcare consulting, working with the Ministries of Health of Afghanistan, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, etc. During this period, he developed the curriculum for the first-ever nursing school in Afghanistan, realigned the entire healthcare system and medical doctor training program in Afghanistan, assisted in the logistics and manning of the Faruq Medical Center in Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan, Iraq, and helped the Algerian government design and develop their own version of the Food and Drug Administration. His experience in the United States Army working with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) led him to develop a keen understanding of the scientific method and of cutting-edge science. In 2012, he read about an older DARPA project which involved the search for a nutritional supplement that would improve physical performance and cognition by thirty percent. This project started in 2004 and had been funded for nearly ten million dollars. It never met the full requirement, so it was ended. The end product of that research was an exogenous ketone developed by Oxford University and the National Institutes of Health. He ended his healthcare consulting, went to Oxford, and began working on ketones. He is a motivational speaker who speaks at veterans' events and fundraisers around the country, as well as brain injury and brain health symposiums sponsored by the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration. He has received many awards and decorations while serving in the army and served in the most prestigious units in the army. He has served in combat throughout the globe and continues to serve veterans through his charity work. Mike is passionate about helping others. He serves on the Board of Directors of multiple veteran non-profits and has served in many roles in these organizations, including Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Treasurer, Co-Founder, etc. He will continue to serve these deserving people for as long as he is physically able. He splits his time between Orlando, Florida, with his wife, oldest son, three grandsons, and daughter-in-law, and Alexandria, Louisiana, with his wife, youngest son, two...

Episode 3052: Dr. Neal Malik breaks down the myth of tequila as a probiotic by digging into what science actually says not just popular claims. Learn the truth about blue agave, the real sources of gut-friendly fiber, and how moderation and lifestyle still trump shortcuts when it comes to health. Quotes to ponder: "Sadly, the findings were disappointing, the research does not support the use of daily tequila shots to help promote the health of our microbiome." "Blue agave nectar doesn't have enough fiber to promote the health of our intestines." "Tequila likely does not act like a probiotic, so it doesn't promote the growth of good bacteria in our intestines."
