The numbers are staggering: PMS affects 90% of women but gets a fraction of the funding erectile dysfunction research receives. The NIH didn't require women to be included in clinical trials until 1993. Katie also shares how her own breast cancer diagnosis has shaped her relationship to hormone therapy.

This time it's Back to Basics -- describing two of the four main components that make up the structure of wine - Acidity & Tannin. It's both simple, and very dorky (I quote the NIH at one point, worth a listen!)   In this show I go back to basics and talk about structure. As I said in the book, I think of wine like a picture frame -- the sides have to be even for it to work. I liken the structure of wine to art and talk a little about the Mona Lisa and how it relates to the four main elements of structure: tannin, acidity, alcohol, sugar (or lack of sugar) plus the flavors of wine in my favorite wine analogy.   Then I discuss acidity and tannin: What they are Their roles in wine Where they come from How they are measured How we perceive them Examples of grapes with high and low acidity/tannin How these sturctural elements interact with other structural elements in wine     Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Join the community today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________ CHECK OUT MY NEW SPONSOR!!!  This show is brought to you by my NEW exclusive sponsor, Grapes the Wine Company – an actual brick and mortar store located in White Plains, New York that has been recognized by the Wall Street Journal as one of the most influential wine retailers in America.

Cannabis is often discussed as either a miracle remedy or a dangerous drug, but the reality is far more nuanced. In this episode, Dr. Jen speaks with naturopathic doctor and cannabinoid researcher Dr. Michelle Sexton about the endocannabinoid system, medical cannabis, chronic pain, sleep, inflammation, menopause, and opioid reduction. They explore why dose, age, product quality, delivery method, and THC potency all matter, how cannabis differs from CBD, and why modern high-potency products are not the same as the cannabis used decades ago. Dr. Sexton also shares practical guidance on starting low, avoiding unnecessary exposure during brain development and pregnancy, and using cannabis as a carefully considered medical tool rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.Dr. Michelle Sexton, ND, is a licensed naturopathic doctor, researcher, author, and internationally recognized expert on cannabinoid pharmacology and the endocannabinoid system. She completed her naturopathic medical training at Bastyr University and an NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Washington, where she studied cannabis, immune function, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration. Dr. Sexton has also served as an Assistant Adjunct Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at UC San Diego and has worked with patients through the university's Center for Integrative Medicine. Her work focuses on translating cannabinoid science into responsible, practical guidance for pain, sleep, inflammation, women's health, and opioid reduction. Website: https://www.msextonnd.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-sexton-a40408b  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/msextonnd  PODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!

What did Dr. Anthony Fauci know privately about COVID vaccines—and what was the American public being told at the same time? On this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Senator Ron Johnson joins Lisa for an explosive conversation about his ongoing investigation into the government's COVID-19 response and newly obtained communications from Fauci’s government-issued devices. Johnson discusses a private Fauci message that he says raised concerns about vaccination and pregnancy, why he believes the issue goes far beyond the debate over miscarriage statistics, and his argument that Americans were denied information necessary to make fully informed medical decisions. The Wisconsin senator also reveals what investigators are finding as they work through tens of thousands of Fauci text messages, hundreds of voice messages and other government records. Johnson explains why identifying the people behind hundreds of phone numbers has become a critical part of the investigation—and why he says his team is being careful not to release private information unrelated to public policy. Lisa and Sen. Johnson also discuss Fauci’s handling of the COVID pandemic, gain-of-function research, vaccine safety surveillance, the relationship between government health agencies and pharmaceutical companies, and Johnson’s allegations that career bureaucrats are resisting efforts to uncover additional records. Johnson says investigators are now seeking devices and communications associated with other former government health officials as his probe expands—and declares that despite years of pursuing answers about the pandemic, the investigation has “only just begun.” Plus, Johnson explains why he believes America still needs a full COVID reckoning before the next public health crisis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when someone who volunteered for a COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial says the shot changed her life within hours? On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Brianne Dressen, co-founder of React19 and a participant in the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial, to discuss her experience with what she describes as a severe and lasting vaccine injury. Dressen recounts developing neurological symptoms shortly after receiving the shot, including burning and tingling, numbness, difficulty walking, sensitivity to light and sound, vision problems, and cognitive issues. She says some symptoms remain with her nearly six years later. She also describes receiving treatment at the National Institutes of Health, saying the intervention produced a significant improvement but that she has continued to require treatment. Tudor and Dressen discuss informed consent during vaccine trials, the treatment of people reporting adverse events, Anthony Fauci and the NIH, pharmaceutical-company accountability, and Dressen's allegations that officials knew more about certain adverse effects than was publicly acknowledged. Dressen also explains why she believes further federal investigation is necessary. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about one woman's experience, unanswered questions from the COVID era, and the continuing debate over transparency, medical treatment, and accountability.

Dr. Fisher explains how CDMRP works, how it differs from and complements other federal funders such as NIH and ARPA-H, and why its mission is focused on advancing high-impact research that can lead to cures, improved patient care, breakthrough technologies, and clinical benefit. She also discusses the scale and breadth of CDMRP's portfolio, including its FY26 appropriations of $1.27 billion across 34 program areas and additional targeted topics. A major focus of the conversation is CDMRP's unique approach to consumer involvement. Dr. Fisher explains how patients, caregivers, family members, and others with lived experience help shape program strategy, participate in review, and keep funded research connected to the needs of the communities it is intended to serve. The episode also offers practical guidance for applicants. Dr. Fisher walks through how funding opportunities are developed, where to find open program announcements, how the two-tier review process works, and what makes a strong application stand out. She also shares advice for small businesses, academic investigators, clinicians, translational research teams, and industry partners interested in exploring whether CDMRP may be a fit for their work. Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant.

I dunno, stick to making chips fellas cause this is a bit shit. Still, it's better than nothing. The clankers are still doing okay at the shownotes thing. Enjoy! --------SummaryMr. Insider and Hong Kong Jack open with the passing of Melbourne matriarch Kath Pettingill (91) and the grim, darkly comic history of the Pettingill–Allen clan — Dennis “Dr Death” Allen, the Stevenson Street fortress, and the Wall Street executions. They pivot to Victoria's suppression-order addiction (half the national total) and the Ralph Carr rape conviction that took 48 hours to un-suppress, then dissect IBAC's Operation Richmond into the UFU/CFA/FRV stitch-up — six years, no corruption findings, just “serious and concerning conduct.”Cross the border to NSW: ICAC's Operation Rosne is live, Jean‑Claude Perrottet is squirming in the box as Nassif's $2M bribe tapes play, and Jeremy Greenwood is ghosting from London. A detour through minority-government history (Gillard–Greens–Oakeshott–Windsor) segues into a housing-market stoush: banks forecasting −10%, the Budget saying +2%, and Tanya Plibersek claiming “best time ever for first‑home buyers.”The Cambridge sociologist Jason Arday unravels — non-verbal till 11, 600 miles in six days, 30 marathons in 35 days, a brain tumour, 7‑Up kid, £5.5M raised, AI‑written resignation letter — and the ABC's Four Corners hiring ex‑Mongol Mahmoud Fazal is flagged for next week. Fauci's diaries, RFK Jr.'s peptide purge, and COVID revisionism draw a furious rant. Ukraine's drone supremacy, PLA drone investment, and why NATO spending metrics miss the point.Sport: Trump's “club champ” grift, Geelong's secret concussion waiver (chaired by AFL Commission boss Craig Drummond), the wildcard-round tanking farce driven by betting partners, Tasmania signing Nigel Lappin, and Carlton's miraculous turnaround under Josh Fraser — Harry DeMattia, Jagga Smith, Wade Derksen, and a game plan now built on turnover footy. Matthew Stokes on club culture and troubled players. The Hundred's kid‑focused gimmickry, AFLW Ireland's skill explosion at North Sydney Oval, and a teaser on NRL/AFL media capture for next week.Timeline Time Segment0:25 Intro & Housekeeping – 7 Aug 2026, Hong Kong weather (“it's called summer”), Melbourne heat.1:18 Kath Pettingill & the Pettingill–Allen Dynasty – “Granny Evil” dies at 91; Dennis Allen (Mr Death), Peter Allen, Victor Pierce, Wall Street murders, Stevenson Street Richmond/Cremorne, Brian Murphy's $1,400/week payoff, chainsaws & 44‑gallon drums.7:03 Victoria's Suppression‑Order Addiction – >50% of national total; Ralph Carr (Dusty Martin's ex‑manager) convicted of raping employee; 48‑hour delay lifting suppression; “if you've got money you get away with it.”12:29 IBAC Operation Richmond (UFU/CFA/FRV) – Six‑year inquiry; “serious & concerning conduct” but no corrupt conduct; political fix for metropolitan/country fire boundary; “vanilla ICAC” vs NSW theatre; Dan Andrews' golf clubs.20:39 NSW ICAC Operation Rosne – Young Liberal operatives (Assaf, Ellis, Greenwood, Perrottet brothers); Jean Nassif ($2M bribe allegation, now in Lebanon), Michael O'Hara, Catholic Schools NSW (Dallas McInerney); targeting David Elliott & Building Commissioner David Chandler; Jean‑Claude Perrottet in the box, audio ambush.32:41 Minority Government & Coalitions of Convenience – Gillard–Greens–Oakeshott–Windsor “wedding ceremony”; Paul Kelly's verdict; “you don't need formal agreements”; Jim Cairns 1970s parallel; all the 2010 plotters now in gaming.40:52 Housing Market: Crash or Soft Landing? – Banks: −10% / $230B wiped; Budget: +2%; Tanya Plibersek's “best time ever” claim; negative equity, bank forbearance, 1990s commercial‑property playbook.46:30 Cambridge Professor Jason Arday: Fantasist or Fraud? – Youngest Black professor; didn't speak till 11, illiterate till 18, 600 miles/6 days, 30 marathons/35 days (last 9 with hairline fracture), 7‑Up claim, £5.5M raised (walked back), brain tumour during PhD; Cambridge defends, then folds; AI‑written resignation letter; Guardian pile‑on; “sociology standards are fuzzy.”51:23 ABC Four Corners & Mahmoud Fazal – Ex‑Mongols sergeant‑at‑arms hired; journalistic ethics vs “great life story”; teed up for next episode.56:34 Fauci, RFK Jr & COVID Revisionism – Fauci takes the Fifth; HHS servers now under Kennedy; “ICUs were empty” lie; double‑blind placebo ethics (Salk polio regret); FDA pulls six peptides off ban list with zero human data; “grifters at 4,000% markup”; healthcare workers threatened.1:04:05 Ukraine–Russia: Drone Wars & Asymmetric Shift – Ukrainians lead in AI‑guided, radar‑invisible drones; defender's advantage today ≠ tomorrow; PLA investing heavily; US big‑bureaucracy lag; Taiwan lesson — boots still needed.1:08:56 Golf: Trump's “Club Championship” – 80‑yo, 180‑yard drive, four‑handicap in prime; member confirms nudging, caddy collusion, card‑swapping; “four or five handicap?

Sen. Ron Johnson joins The Tudor Dixon Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on the newly released Fauci files, the origins of COVID-19, government transparency, and the growing influence of socialist candidates in American politics. Johnson discusses what he believes the Fauci diaries reveal about the lab leak theory, gain-of-function research, pandemic lockdowns, mask mandates, school closures, and the federal government's COVID response. He also explains why he believes Americans deserve greater accountability and why Congress must continue investigating what happened during the pandemic. The conversation also turns to the political landscape in Michigan and Wisconsin, where Dixon and Johnson discuss the rise of openly socialist candidates, higher education, media influence, and the future of the Democratic Party heading into the 2026 elections.

A 10-year presidential pardon is quite a thing. But will it be enough to protect Tony Fauci from ALL of his alleged nefarious misdeeds? No, says Dr. David Martin, the researcher who comes with the patent receipts to show how long Fauci and Ralph Baric were tinkering with gain of function research on corona viruses. CNN news hack Dana Bash gets schooled by RFK Jr. as we may start to hear more from Margaret Moore, the FOIA liaison to the NIH who pleaded the fifth two years ago.

A major surgical society has invited a former FDA commissioner to headline its clinical congress, introducing him with a bio that lists the bestsellers and the endowed chairs and mentions none of the pandemic-era claims, the accusations leveled at colleagues, or the circumstances of his departure. The hosts read the introduction in full, then read what it leaves out — and use it to make a broader point: the most dangerous thing happening in medicine right now isn't any single false claim, it's the speed with which discredited records are being smoothed over and their authors welcomed back onto main stages. From there the conversation turns to a widely shared magazine essay arguing that public health should make common cause with the MAHA movement, and to the Substack defense of that essay written by the hosts of a podcast built around cross-divide conversation. The hosts read both at length and take them apart, drawing a distinction they say the "dialogue" camp collapses: how a physician talks with a vaccine-hesitant patient in an exam room is not the same act as platforming movement leaders who have invoked Nuremberg trials and Holocaust imagery against doctors. One is medicine. The other, they argue, launders danger into an intellectual parlor game. The episode closes on what is being done to scientists in the meantime — a researcher detained at an airport, a retired NIH scientist taken from his home in handcuffs, an 85-year-old former agency director facing hearings whose stated purpose was imprisonment — and on the quieter counter-story: the people who have left the anti-vaccine movement, and the patient, unglamorous outreach that actually changed their minds. Topics Include A surgical society's sanitized introduction of a former FDA commissioner — and everything the bio omits The medical-error-as-third-leading-cause-of-death statistic and its origins Why records should still be cited after someone leaves power Headlines: reported White House pressure on HHS over childhood vaccines; new data on flu vaccine effectiveness against pediatric mortality The Atlantic's "Public Health Needs MAHA" essay and the rebuttals from Science-Based Medicine and others "Name one hit" — what MAHA has actually delivered on pesticides, food, and chronic disease Podcasting as an end in itself: the "Why Should I Trust You?" roster and the ethics of platforming Violent rhetoric in the anti-vaccine movement: Nuremberg framing, Holocaust comparisons, and fundraising off both Reactionary centrism and the demand that the people who were right apologize to the people who weren't Public health didn't lose trust — it was politicized Fauci: the noble lie on masks, the decision to take the Fifth, and the campaign against him Scientists detained, arrested, and blamed for origins they had nothing to do with How deconversion actually happens — Vaxopedia, a five-minute conversation with a nurse, and the parents who changed their minds About the Show We Want Them Infected is hosted by Dr. Jonathan Howard, a neurologist and psychiatrist in New York City, and Wendy Orent, a science writer specializing in the evolution of infectious disease.

Not only does Ricochet co-founder Peter Robinson join to host, but our dear pal Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is able to take a moment away from running both the NIH and CDC to talk about the downfall of Anthony Fauci and his team's work to restore public trust in America's leading public health and scientific institutions. With the disarming humility we've always known him for, Dr. Jay explains what he found most striking about Fauci's journal entries and evastions before Congress. The gang then pivots to what must be done to prevent a bureaucrat from acquiring such dictatorial powers and taxpayers from having to fund their own pandemic. Plus, Robinson, Hayward and Lileks wish the DNC luck in staving off the DSA; they find in our techno-innovators things to be hopeful for despite a generation that knew not the Soviets; they have a friendly debate over the triviality of pop-culture; and they say farewell to a departed Ricochet member.Sound from this week's open: Senator Rand Paul questions Anthony Fauci before the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.Closing Music: "Center of the Universe" by Markus Little, via MotionArrayBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ricochet-podcast--5817275/support.

It's Friday, July 31st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Syrians in America have to leave the country The expiration of Temporary Protected Status for Syrians in America this week has renewed attention on the fragile security environment facing civilians in Syria, particularly Christians who remain vulnerable 18 months after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship in this 87% Muslim country, reports International Christian Concern. Temporary Protected Status is a humanitarian immigration designation that allows nationals of countries experiencing armed conflict to remain and work legally in the United States for a limited period. The designation does not provide a pathway to permanent residency but shields recipients from deportation while conditions in their home country are deemed unsafe for return. In December 2024, rebel forces, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, forced al-Assad from power.  Al-Sharaa's group had previously been associated with Muslim jihadist movements, including al-Qaeda. Before the Syrian civil war, Christians represented a significant minority of Syria's population concentrated in Damascus — where the Apostle Paul was converted on the street. While Christians have not experienced the same level of targeted mass violence as other groups, there has been harassment and attacks on Christian communities. President Trump floats temporarily pulling Blache nomination to be AG President Donald Trump said on July 30 that he was willing to temporarily withdraw his nomination of Todd Blanche to be Attorney General until next year, if two Republican senators continued to withhold their support, reports The Epoch Times. Blanche's nomination has been held up in the Senate Judiciary Committee after Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina said they would not back bringing it to the floor for a full vote. Those two votes are necessary for the nomination to advance. Earlier this year, both Cornyn and Tillis lost their bid for re-election after President Trump endorsed their opponents during the primaries. The president now intends to wait them out. In the meantime, Blanche will remain the acting head of the Department of Justice. You can express your objection to the senators for dragging their feet by calling Senator John Cornyn at 202-224-2934 and Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina at 202-224-6342.

Dr. Fauci invoked Fifth Amendment 90 times in GOP-led committee In a hearing of the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on July 29th, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, announced in his opening statement that he would invoke the Fifth Amendment and not answer any questions about his culpability in a cover-up about the source of the COVID-19 virus or what happened subsequently. Listen. FAUCI: “Members of the committee, I served at the NIH for over 54 years, 38 of those as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Over that period, I proved that I believe in and respect the value of legitimate congressional oversight. In fact, I testified before and/or briefed Senate and House committees well over 200 times over those 38 years. During and after the COVID pandemic, I have appeared multiple times for hearings in the Senate and the House, usually under oath, and sat for several days-long, transcribed, sworn interviews answering questions about the very issues that are now the subject of this hearing. “However, given Senator [Rand] Paul's obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently his publicly releasing my unredacted personal diary aimed at embarrassing and intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, ‘behind bars'. “Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion. Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right, under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, to refrain from answering your questions.” Over the course of his time in front of the Senate Committee, Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment a whopping 111 times, reports Fox News. Dr. Fauci stonewalled Senator Rand Paul numerous times Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly stonewalled Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, the Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The senator started with asking about former President Joe Biden's bizarre “full and unconditional” pardon of Dr. Fauci. PAUL:  “As a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, or the White House COVID-19 Response Team, or as Chief Medical Advisor to the President, have you refused this pardon? Or do you have any reason to believe this full and unconditional pardon, this grant of immunity, would somehow require you to plead the Fifth Amendment?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL: “Based on the facts presented, I'm going to direct you to answer the questions. The committee has issued a valid subpoena. They have requested your presence here. The questions are very pertinent to your decision making as head of [the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases], as well as a chief advisor to the president, do you still refuse to answer the questions?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL:  “Were you ever made aware of gain-of-function research on monkeypox being conducted at the National Bio Defense Analysis and Countermeasures Center, and back at Fort Detrick, [the center of the U.S. biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969]?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL:  “Dr. Fauci, did the CIA ever transfer funds to [the National Institutes of Health] under interagency agreement?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” And Senator Rand Paul took this parting shot. PAUL: “The chairman has denied your assertion of privilege and directed you to answer, but you nonetheless refuse and stand on privilege despite the existence of the pardon. The committee will have to consider after this hearing what appropriate action should be taken against you for the failure to testify after being directed to do so. “It's against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress. There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today.” Watchdog group: Medical groups should condemn transgender surgeries on minors The medical watchdog group, Do No Harm, is calling on 10 major medical associations to explicitly condemn transgender genital surgeries on minors, reports The Daily Signal. On July 29th, Do No Harm sent open letters to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Medical Association among others. In the letter, the group wrote, “Do No Harm, and its 54,000 members, are calling on your society to publicly reject genital surgery on minors for the purpose of producing [so-called] ‘gender transitions.' While this process is uncommon, we believe that it should never occur.” In Matthew 19:4, Jesus asked, “Have you not read that [God], who created them from the beginning, made them male and female?” Marijuana should not be reclassified as a less dangerous drug Marijuana could be reclassified as a less dangerous substance under federal law. Kevin Sabet, CEO of Smart Approaches to Marijuana and the former drug policy advisor for the Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama presidential administrations as well as President Trump's former U.S. Attorney General William Barr, thinks that would be a terrible idea. He said that reclassifying marijuana as a drug with accepted medical use and a lower risk of abuse than drugs subject to greater controls would be reckless. Sabet added, “The evidence presented at the hearing confirmed what decades of data have shown: Raw marijuana has no scientifically established medical value and carries a high risk of abuse. Today's marijuana is more dangerous than ever before. [Reclassifying] marijuana would create the false impression that it is safe, would reduce penalties for peddling the drug illegally and would give those who purvey it legally a huge tax windfall. That would be a disaster.”  The Department of Justice held a hearing last month to consider it at President Donald Trump's request. Despite the fact that President Trump is a teetotaler who eschews alcohol and drugs, he told his administration last December to push forward on easing marijuana restrictions, after an aggressive lobbying push by advocates including a cannabis CEO, a Florida sheriff, and a Mar-a-Lago member, the Wall Street Journal previously reported. Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family, previously wrote, “Use of cannabis increases a person's chance of developing a bipolar disorder or schizophrenia by an average of 47%. It's also shown to significantly increase hallucinations and paranoia. “In fact, it's been determined that regular use of medical marijuana leads to a higher chance of heart attack, stroke and coronary artery disease. … If the established goal is to make America healthy and great again, this objective will not be reached by increasing access to poisonous pot.” In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, the Apostle Paul asked, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.” Montana listeners like our brevity and updates on the persecuted Here at The Worldview in 5 Minutes, Winston and Heather Royal in Helena, Montana, wrote, “Adam, we appreciate the newscast because it's short, to the point, and from a Christian perspective. We appreciate hearing about our Christian brothers and sisters around the world. And we often listen to it at breakfast time. Thank you for your work!” Texas listener values boldness and truthfulness of The Worldview And Byron Barlowe in Plano, Texas wrote, “Adam, your newscast is something I've evangelized about for four reasons. I find the integration of a Biblical worldview into reporting the news to be effective and refreshing. Brevity matters more than ever. I also relate to the brevity of your newscast since Probe Ministries, a group I write for, produces a 3-minute daily feature. The candor among you and the two other writers of The Worldview is bold, truthful, and necessary. For example, I appreciate your reference to homosexual faux marriage instead of so-called ‘gay marriage.' Spade-calling is truth-telling and, when done in a gracious spirit led by the Spirit of God, can have good effect. You have a golden radio voice that emanates masculinity without undue forcefulness. Both women and men need that in the era of so-called ‘toxic masculinity' and the feminized Church which follows a confused culture. I just like it, too.” Byron, thanks for your encouragement as we use the instruments of our laptops and voice to communicate. 23 Worldview listeners gave $13,150.04 And finally, by Thursday night at 9:00pm Central, 23 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the 6-member team behind The Worldview for another year.

And we were blown away by Frederick in Gainesville, Florida who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Jeff in Sevierville, Tennessee who gave $1,000, and Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas who gave $5,000. Wow! Those 23 gifts add up to $13,150.04. That's the largest total amount in a single day throughout this July 2026 fundraiser. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $94,270 (sound effect of people cheering) We need to raise $29,230 by midnight tonight, July 31st! That means in order to hit our final goal of $123,500 by midnight tonight, Friday, July 31st, God needs to prompt folks to give an astounding $29,230 in order for the 6-member Worldview newscast team to be fully funded for another year. So, as I've said over the last several days, if you have been waiting until the last minute, this … is … it!  We could really use your help.  The finish line is upon us. Perhaps in our national audience, there are three others, just like Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas, who feel led by God to give a one-time gift of $5,000. If that $15,000 comes in, we would need just 15 people to either give a one-time gift of $1,000 or make a monthly pledge of $83.33 for 12 months which adds up to $1,000. If all of that is way out of your budget, just give what you can. $10. $20. $30. Every dollar gets us closer. Now, if you can't give a dime, then pray. Pray that God would stir the hearts of those who can give! Just go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give, select the dollar amount, and make sure to click on the “recurring” button if that's your wish.  And remember this, if you want to continue your monthly pledge to The Worldview that you started prior to July 1, 2026, please let me know so we can count your generous ongoing gift toward our total.

Pags continues breaking down Dr. Anthony Fauci's explosive Senate testimony, asking why so many powerful voices still seem determined to protect him. Pags argues Fauci wasn't America's top health official but a longtime NIH bureaucrat who gained extraordinary influence during the pandemic, and questions why he suddenly decided to keep a personal diary late in life. He also reacts to Harvey Levin's passionate defense of Fauci, examining how media figures have helped shape the public narrative. Later, Pags asks why Fauci was given an opening statement before facing tough questions from senators, argues Democrats consistently outmaneuver Republicans when it comes to messaging and public perception, and explains why accountability shouldn't end with congressional hearings—asking whether lawsuits and other legal challenges could finally force the truth into the open.

Today on the show, Joe breaks down Dr. Anthony Fauci's explosive appearance on Capitol Hill, where visible nerves and shaking hands told the real story before he even uttered a word. From Senator Josh Hawley calling out systemic obstruction to Senator Rand Paul delivering a searing indictment on how arrogance, secrecy, and censorship destroyed public trust, we expose the deep state's crumbling defense. Plus, we dig into the bizarre paper trail surrounding Fauci's federal pardon—specifically why it traces back to 2014, the exact same year the NIH approved grant funding for bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. As questions mount, we ask the hard question: a federal pardon might shield him from Washington, but are state prosecutors ready to step up?Former FBI agent, whistleblower, and podcaster Kyle Seraphin joins Joe in the studio to pull back the curtain on bureaucratic warfare and institutional decay. Seraphin reacts to Fauci's testimony, dissects the lingering skepticism surrounding Senator Mitch McConnell's staged "proof of life" photo ops, and dives into shocking CIA whistleblower allegations revealing illegal surveillance against current leaders like Tulsi Gabbard. Furthermore, Kyle brings his tactical background to the table to analyze the Charlie Kirk assassination attempt, questioning official narratives and breaking down the physical real-world capabilities required for such an operation.Joe confronts the glaring double standards reshaping American life. While everyday families struggle to get basic life-saving medications approved by insurance, taxpayer dollars across dozens of states are quietly funding 100% free gender-affirming surgeries through Medicaid. Meanwhile in New York, socialist policy takes center stage as Mayor Zohran Mamdani pushes government-run grocery stores—threatening small business survival while imposing selective, government-controlled product restrictions. Finally, as TPS expires for Haitian migrants and ICE agents face daily hostility on the ground, Joe takes a hard look at the reality of federal deportations and where the country heads next.

A career bureaucrat, someone who had spent decades inside the federal health apparatus, suddenly became a household name. He was on magazine covers. He became a cultural icon. People wore shirts with his face on them. Late-night comedians celebrated him. Politicians embraced him. And that raises the first question: When does a public servant stop being a trusted expert and become a political brand? Because something unusual happened during COVID. America has had public health officials before. We had surgeons general. We had CDC directors. We had NIH leaders. But we had never seen a public health official become the center of a political movement. Fauci was no longer simply advising presidents. He was shaping public policy, influencing governors, determining what businesses stayed open, affecting schools, churches, travel, and everyday life. And here is where things became complicated. Supporters argue Fauci was a scientist caught in an impossible situation. They say he was trying to navigate a once-in-a-century pandemic with incomplete information. Critics argue something very different. They argue Fauci became the embodiment of institutional arrogance: someone who presented himself as the final authority while changing positions repeatedly and dismissing legitimate questions. And this is where we need nuance. Because science changes. That is true. But trust depends on something else: Transparency. When recommendations change, people need to understand why. The problem was not simply that guidance evolved. The problem was that millions of Americans felt they were told, “Trust us,” instead of being shown the evidence. And when people questioned the narrative, many were treated as enemies rather than citizens asking legitimate questions. That is where the damage began.

Back in the 1950s, doctors didn't know a whole lot about the heart. If someone came in with chest pain, clinicians would ask a few questions, then take a stab at treating what might be heartburn or a heart attack. That's where mental health care is today, according to today's guest, Leanne Williams.For example: you come into a psychiatrist's office. The psychiatrist determines that you've experienced five or more depressive symptoms for at least two consecutive weeks and you get a diagnosis of major depressive disorder. Maybe you get prescribed some combination of therapy and medication. For some it works. For others it doesn't. On average, finding an effective treatment for depression takes patients about 7 years – one of the reasons we're in a mental health crisis.Williams says that the key issue is that psychiatry does not base its diagnoses or treatment plans on any direct test of the organ of interest: the brain. According to Leanne's research, people with depression actually fall into clearly different categories, caused by changes in specific brain networks that can be  seen using brain imaging. She's shown that using this data can lead to much more targeted and effective therapies.Williams leads the Precision Mental Health Center at Stanford and is helming a new international task force that aims to create a road map for transforming  mental health diagnosis and treatment based on biological data and brain imaging.

"You have to figure out how to make self-care a priority because you know the body does not sit still... Your mindset will allow you to move forward, or it will take you backwards." —Dr. Mitra Ray Stanford-trained biologist Dr. Mitra Ray spent three decades building a career in women's longevity, but the habits she taught everyone else became something she never expected: the infrastructure that kept her upright after her husband, Doug, died suddenly in a paragliding accident in October 2023. In this conversation with host Justine Reichman, Dr. Ray traces her path from NIH- and Alzheimer's-funded cancer research to walking away from the lab, building a word-of-mouth wellness brand that sold 2 million copies with zero advertising, and eventually testing her own biological age during the hardest year of her life — and watching it go backward. This episode is for anyone navigating midlife, grief, perimenopause, or the quiet realization that the wellness habits they've dismissed as trendy might be the thing holding them together. Dr. Ray and Justine talk candidly about cold plunging, sobriety, plant-based nutrition, sleep science, and the gut-microbiome research behind cravings — grounding every claim in the biology, not the buzzwords. Key takeaways: Dr. Ray's biological age measurably reversed during the year she grieved her husband, evidence that consistent habits can outperform circumstance. Comparing your current body to a memory of your 25-year-old self is biologically counterproductive — memories change every time you access them, and the comparison itself triggers cortisol and inflammation. Cold plunging activates the anterior mid-cingulate cortex, the brain region tied to willpower and will to live, which Dr. Ray leaned on deliberately after losing Doug. Food cravings are largely dictated by gut bacteria, not willpower — feeding plant-based bacteria gradually shifts what your body craves. "Superagers" in their 80s are still generating new neurons, making neurogenesis — not a return to a younger self — the more useful benchmark for healthy aging. Grief lives in the body: cortisol, thyroid, and hormone levels shift during loss, and naming that process without judgment is part of recovering from it. Listen to the full conversation and subscribe to Essential Ingredients for more real conversations at the intersection of food, purpose, and building a better future: https://tinyurl.com/Essential-Ingredients-Podcast  Meet Dr. Ray:  Living a long, healthy life is not as complicated as the wellness industry would have you believe. Dr. Mitra Ray has spent more than 30 years helping people understand this, and more importantly, live it. Her path into health was shaped by both rigorous science and lived experience. She completed her undergraduate degree at Cornell University and earned her PhD from Stanford Medical School, where her research was funded by multiple NIH grants and recognized with the Young Investigator Award from the Federation of American Societies in Experimental Biology. Her work has been published in Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and the Journal of Cell Biology: journals that do not publish ideas lightly. But credentials alone do not explain why audiences across four continents keep coming back to hear her speak, or why her books and lectures on health, beauty, brain function, and longevity have resonated as widely as they have. The reason is simpler: she translates what the science actually says into something you can do and sustain. Her focus has always been whole plant foods, an active body, and a clear mind. These three things, she has come to understand, are not a wellness trend. They are the foundation. Everything downstream of that foundation- how you look, how you feel, how you age- follows. The Elder's Evolution, her Substack publication, is where she writes about what it means to age well, with full attention paid to both the biology and the deeper questions that biology alone cannot answer.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain the biology and psychology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and describe the neural circuitry behind repetitive "thought-action loops," including why compulsive actions actually strengthen the underlying obsessions rather than relieve them. I discuss the most effective treatments for OCD, including exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy and SSRIs, and explain what the research shows about how these compare when used alone versus together. Finally, I describe a specific clinical protocol in which patients are guided into states of anxiety while learning to suppress compulsive responses, retraining the brain to break the OCD cycle.
