@1QLeadership Question: How can leaders in college athletics use their own story and environment to build better systems for student‑athlete success in the age of NIL? Dr. Ron Moses, Deputy AD at Old Dominion, shares how dropping out of high school, serving in the Army, and returning to college shaped his people‑first leadership style and commitment to mentoring. He explains why he keeps his office in the academic center, how his counseling and HR background inform mental health, academic, and NIL education, and why he treats revenue sharing as a financial literacy and life‑skills challenge for young athletes.  Moses also discusses his work with veterans and military partners. In his opinion, work such as teaching emotional intelligence, transition skills, and organizational development carry over to college athletics. He reflects on leading through an AD transition, using Virginia's competitive athletics landscape to raise standards, and leveraging the region's military presence to teach perspective, teamwork, and leadership.  In summary, Moses shows how lived experience, intentional relationships, and a unique local context can help leaders build holistic support systems that outlast any single person or era. - One Question Leadership Podcast - Stephanie Garcia-Cichosz - Tai M.

Dr. Robyn Nadolny is a Biologist and the Chief of the Vector-Borne Disease Branch at the Defense Centers for Public Health at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD (DCPH-A). The flagship program of the Vector-Borne Disease Branch is MilTICK, a free, rapid tick-testing program for military beneficiaries. The results provide a tool in the diagnostic toolbox for military beneficiaries, and Dr. Nadolny uses the passive surveillance data generated to better understand changing tick-borne disease dynamics and mitigate risks to US Service Members and their communities. She is also working on tick-borne disease surveillance projects worldwide to support military communities. Dr. Nadolny came to DCPH-A in 2016 after completing her PhD in Ecological Sciences from Old Dominion University (ODU) in Norfolk, VA. She also holds a M.S. in Biology from ODU, and a B.S. in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavioral Biology from Beloit College in Beloit, WI. Her research focuses on the prevention of tick-borne disease through understanding and breaking tick-host-pathogen-environment cycles. Dr. Nadolny has co-authored over 30 peer-reviewed publications and is interested in the intersection of ecology and public health.In this episode, we discuss the types of diseases that can be transmitted to military personnel (and anyone else) through ticks, how those diseases work, where and when the risk is greatest, and what you can do to protect yourself. To visit the MilTICK site, which you can use to understand the risk of tick-borne disease at your military installation and submit ticks for testing, go here:https://ph.health.mil/topics/entomology/kits/Pages/HumanTickTestKitProgram.aspxThere are also many civilian labs where you can submit a tick for testing at a low cost. For example:Pennsylvania Tick Research Lab: https://www.ticklab.org/Old Dominion University, Virginia: https://sites.wp.odu.edu/tick-team/what-we-do/tick-testing/sending-us-your-ticks/Ticknology: https://www.ticknology.org/order-testTimestamps:00:23 Introduction to Dr. Robyn Nadolny01:48 What are the Most Common Diseases Spread by Ticks?03:24 Lesser Known Tick-Spread Diseases07:19 Alpha Gal: It's Not Just Beef Off the Table 09:27 The Implications of Lyme Disease14:16 How Does the Body React After Multiple Tick Bites?16:06 Rates of These Diseases 18:21 What Terrain Do Ticks Prefer? 21:31 What Time of Year are Ticks the Worst?23:13 Tick Life Cycles  27:56 Soldiers Protecting Themselves from Ticks in the Field33:19 Dealing with a Tick Bite in the Field37:41 Prevalence of Diseases in Ticks42:34 Vaccines for Tick-Borne Diseases for Pets and People45:45 Treated Clothing and Repellents48:21 OutroSend us a message

Resource mentioned in the show: https://www.solvehighered.com/higher-ed-glossary Jaime Hunt welcomes a special guest, Dave Hunt, to celebrate his new role as the Senior Strategic Advisor for AI Enrollment Marketing and Brand at Solve Higher Ed. The conversation moves beyond the typical discussion of marketing tactics to explore the philosophy of professional growth and strategic leadership within higher education. Jaime and Dave unpack the common misconception that career success is solely defined by linear, upward movement on a corporate ladder. Instead, they champion the value of the lateral move. They argue that the most successful higher ed professionals are those who prioritize expanding their portfolio of skills over seeking new titles. By intentionally seeking roles that expose them to different departments—such as academic affairs, digital strategy, and creative operations—professionals can build the range necessary to see the university as a fully integrated ecosystem rather than a series of isolated silos. This is the essence of the T-shaped professional: deep expertise in one area coupled with a broad, empathetic understanding of how every department contributes to enrollment outcomes. Guest Name: Dave Hunt, Senior Strategic Advisor for AI, Enrollment Marketing and Brand, Solve Higher Ed Marketing Guest Social: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-hunt-a343048/ Guest Bio: Dave Hunt serves as Solve Higher Ed's senior strategic advisor for enrollment marketing and brand. With 18 years of experience in higher education, Dave brings a depth of expertise in enrollment marketing, digital strategy, brand management, reputation building and alumni communications. His career has focused on helping colleges and universities reach prospective students more effectively, differentiate academic programs in competitive markets and connect brand strategy to enrollment outcomes. Most recently, Dave served as Executive Director of Strategic Brand and Enrollment Marketing at Old Dominion University's ODUGlobal, where he led a team responsible for marketing online graduate and undergraduate programs. His portfolio included enrollment marketing, digital marketing, creative services, branding, content strategy and social media, giving him direct experience managing the full ecosystem of modern enrollment-focused marketing.  Prior to joining ODUGlobal, Dave was the inaugural Director of Strategic Marketing and Communications Miami University's Miami Online. There, he built the marketing operations for a new and expanding online education portfolio from the ground up, with a focus on enrollment growth, lead generation, program positioning, digital marketing and prospective student engagement. At Wake Forest University, Dave worked within the School of Business in a role focused on marketing graduate business programs and supporting the school's branding, rankings and reputation-building efforts. That experience gave him a strong understanding of how academic reputation, program differentiation, rankings strategy and prospective student communications intersect in highly competitive markets. Previous higher ed positions included serving as Director of Alumni Communications for Virginia Tech and as a graphic designer for Lawrence University. Dave holds a bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies and a master's degree in Marketing.

Language serves as the vital intersection of cultural identity and technological innovation, yet the rapid rise of AI reveals a significant representation gap for the nearly many million ways the Arab world communicates. Professor Nizar Habash, a computer science professor and director of the CAMEL Lab at NYU Abu Dhabi, explores the historical anxieties surrounding technological shifts, drawing a direct parallel between the 150-year delay of the Arabic printing press and contemporary concerns regarding data bias in large language models. The conversation navigates the inherent challenges of modeling a language characterized by immense dialectal variety and non-standardized orthography, shifting the focus from perceived linguistic complexity to the practical need for bespoke, regional data sets. As the field transitions from rigid, rule-based systems to sophisticated neural models capable of abstract meaning through embeddings, the dialogue underscores the urgency of building localized, open-source tools like JAIS and FAMAR to ensure the Arab world's history and diverse voices are accurately represented in the digital age.   00:00 Introduction 02:15 How AI Models Understand Diverse Arabic Dialects 05:48 Debunking Myths About Arabic's Linguistic Complexity 08:21 The Historical Construction of Modern Standard Arabic 11:00 Impact of Technology on Arabic Script and Printing 15:19 The Journey into Computational Linguistics 17:35 The Evolution of Machine Translation and LLMs 23:51 Explaining Hallucinations in Statistical Language Models 31:14 Cultural Representation and Bias in Image Generation 38:13 Dialect Support and Limitations in Translation Tools 50:02 Camel Lab's Mission for Open-Source Arabic NLP 01:03:42 Descriptive vs. Prescriptive Views of Arabic   Nizar Habash is a Professor of Computer Science at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), and the director of the Computational Approaches to Modeling Language (CAMeL) Lab.

A full schedule can look productive while still falling short of a practice's financial goals. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt speaks with Miranda Beeson, Director of Education at ACT Dental, about why busy days underperform and how production-per-day goals, schedule utilization, patient selection, and block scheduling create greater predictability. You will learn how to evaluate schedule quality, protect high-value clinical time, and help your administrative team make more intentional scheduling decisions. To build a full schedule that supports production, profitability, and a better workday, listen to Episode 1066 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:A full schedule can still underperform when appointments are not aligned with the practice's production goals.Production-per-day goals should be visible in the practice management software and understood by the entire team.Schedule utilization measures how much available clinical time is being used for patient care.Administrative team members should consider procedure value and patient reliability instead of filling every opening with the first available appointment.A and B patients create greater schedule stability because they are more likely to attend appointments and pay their balances.Block scheduling protects prime clinical time for higher-value treatment and creates more predictable daily production.An ideal day schedule should balance the owner's preferences, patient needs, and the practice's production goals.Snippets00:00 Intro01:31 Full schedules can still produce underperforming days.02:18 Why filling every opening does not guarantee productivity.03:13 The importance of production per day and schedule utilization.05:03 Working backward from annual goals to a daily production target.06:39 What an underperforming full schedule looks like.08:13 Why practices should replace like with like when appointments change.10:30 How intentional scheduling supports production goals.12:20 Protecting prime clinical time with block scheduling.13:00 Using the production figure in practice management software before scheduling an appointment.15:05 How comprehensive treatment blocks can create peaceful, productive days.17:06 Displaying production-per-day goals in the practice management software.17:46 Building an ideal day schedule for greater consistency.19:03 The ideal day scheduling guide in the ACT Dental community hub.Guest Bio/Guest ResourcesMiranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

If you are a long-time listener to Experience by Design, you know that I work at a business university that has its foundations as a school for training in accounting and finance. Since its founding in 1917, not much has changed in terms of that focus. We are still primarily known for our education in accounting and finance. When I first started there (almost 27 years ago now), I really had no idea what finance was or what was involved in it. I'm sorry to say that I'm only slightly more informed today. I still find finance a bit of a black box despite my years of service and conversations with my Finance department colleagues. I'm definitely not alone in this. As we have discussed in other episodes of Experience by Design, financial literacy is pretty low overall. Repeated surveys have shown that around half of US adults are financially literate. That number drops further when the topic focuses on financial risk. When comparing different generations, not surprisingly younger generations suffer from a lack of financial literacy. We all could use some extra help in terms of financial literacy, financial planning, and fiscal responsibility. Today on Experience by Design, I welcome Mike Milligan to the show. Mike grew up being fascinated by money. Today, he runs 1 Oak  Financial, which stands for “one of a kind”. Along with his work with clients, he also has created a financial planning online course which is offered through Old Dominion University (where he also teaches). He also wrote the book “The One of a Kind Financial Plan.” What is really great about Mike's approach is that he tailors his planning and strategy to his client, creating a client-centric experience that helps them break free from the traditional approaches that can take advantage of clients. We talk about generational divides in financial literacy and planning, looking at spending and saving trends among Gen Z and even Gen Alpha. Mike emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to understanding markets, trends, and financial risk with changing job markets and emerging technology. He shares how he tailors client education to generational characteristics, trying to meet clients where they are in order to have the maximum learning impact. Toward this end, we also talk about his new book project “Amplify”, which explores how podcasting and social media have become resources for financial literacy. As he emphasizes, the microphone is the most powerful tool in the financial industry. Finally, we also talk about his favorite mermaid in Norfolk, Virginia where he lives. He discusses the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States, especially in locations of colonial heritage and extensive US history like Boston, Philadelphia, and Norfolk. Plus we share how great sociology is.  Mike Milligan Website: https://www.mikemilligan.com/ Mike Milligan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikemilligancfp/ 1.oak Financial: https://1oakfinancial.com/ Ideas by Mike Podcast: https://ideas-by-mike.blubrry.net/ The One of a Kind Financial Plan: https://www.amazon.com/One-Kind-Financial-Plan-Actually/dp/1967587027/

Building, growing, and owning an independent dental practice can feel isolating, especially when decisions, team challenges, and long-term vision fall on the practice owner. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Miranda Beeson, ACT coach and dental practice leader, to explain why community matters in practice ownership and how the right support system can help dentists and their teams make better decisions, avoid unnecessary mistakes, build confidence, and grow with greater clarity. To learn how to find the right people in your corner, listen to Episode 1061 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Independent practice owners do not have to solve every challenge alone.A strong professional community provides shared learning, support, accountability, and practical perspective.The right community helps dentists shorten the learning curve by learning from others' real-world experiences.Community should align with the practice owner's values and avoid judgment, toxicity, or hidden agendas.Team members also need community and role-specific support to grow in confidence and leadership.The Community Hub provides forums, study clubs, clinical education, resources, and vendor connections for dentists and their teams.Community is a strategic advantage because it helps practice owners think better, lead better, and grow faster.Snippets:00:00 Who Is In Your Corner01:19 Meet Miranda Beeson02:15 Why Dentists Feel Alone04:09 Tribe Stories And Patterns07:41 Isolation And Negative Self Talk08:34 What Community Really Means10:59 Avoid Toxic Communities13:31 Real Benefits For Owners15:25 Belief And Accountability18:15 Community For The Whole Team23:20 Inside The Community Hub26:43 Forum Wins And AI Examples32:19 More Questions Solved Fast37:56 Final Takeaways And Invite40:33 How To Get Started42:32 Closing And Call To ActionGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

On March 12, 2026, a gunman opened fire inside an Army ROTC classroom at Old Dominion University. Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Shah immediately moved to stop the attacker, while cadets fought back in a desperate struggle that prevented an even greater tragedy. Investigators soon identified the gunman as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former National Guard soldier and convicted ISIS supporter who had been released from federal prison in the summer of 2024.  In this episode, Margot examines the shooting, LT COL Shah's legacy, the heroism of the cadets who fought back, and the questions surrounding Jalloh's path to radicalization and release.

Why can your practice feel busier than ever, show higher production, and still not see more money in the bank? In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Miranda Beeson, ACT Dental's Director of Education, to explain why gross production is often a misleading proxy for profitability and what to measure instead. You'll learn the difference between gross and net production, how write-offs and overhead quietly erase gains, and the first steps to protect margins so profit can follow production. Listen to Episode 1057 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Gross production can be a “gross misrepresentation” of what a practice can actually collect, while net production reflects what is realistically collectible.Higher production does not automatically create higher profit when write-offs grow and overhead rises at the same time.Practices get it wrong when they celebrate production without tracking what gets adjusted away and what it costs to deliver the care.Large write-offs (insurance, membership plan discounts, elective courtesies, and untracked adjustments) can create an “effort gap” where work is done but revenue is not collectible.Adding hours, days, team members, and equipment to chase production can increase expenses and compound the profitability problem.Practices get it right by tracking adjustments by category (and often by individual insurance carriers) and by regularly reviewing the P&L to confirm expenses are aligned with revenue-producing needs.The first action steps are to clarify write-offs in the practice management system and to understand where overhead dollars are going before pushing for more production.Snippets:00:00 Why production can be up while profit doesn't follow.02:10 Gross vs. net production and why the distinction matters for doctors and teams.06:10 What it looks like when practices get it wrong and the bank account doesn't grow.07:05 Write-offs and the “effort gap” between delivered care and collectible revenue.08:35 How chasing more production can quietly drive overhead higher.10:05 Why the real issue is often strategy, not production.14:15 The mindset shift for fee-for-service: being okay with downtime and using it well.17:10 The first thing to do tomorrow: get clarity on write-offs and adjustments.19:05 The next step: review the P&L and understand overhead buckets.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

Tracking every KPI can feel productive, but it often creates noise and diffuses accountability. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with Miranda Beeson, ACT's co-host and practice coach, to explain why “tracking everything is the fastest way to improve nothing.”You'll learn how to narrow your focus to a small set of metrics that match your top quarterly priority, how to separate leadership-level monitoring from team-level focus, and what to do when a metric is off-track so it actually improves. Listen to Episode 1054 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysTrack data because feelings are not reliable indicators of what is happening in the practice.Too many KPIs create overwhelm, dilute accountability, and make it harder to prioritize action.Choose three to seven “main” KPIs each quarter that directly correlate to the practice's current priority.Leadership can monitor a broader scorecard, but the team should stay focused on the quarter's priority metrics.Practices that track everything often bounce between problems week to week without making measurable progress.When a focus metric is off-track, the team must issue-discuss-solve instead of only reporting the number.Assign clear ownership for collecting and reporting each KPI so the numbers stay visible and actionable.Snippets:00:00 Metric Mondays Kickoff01:22 Meet Miranda Beeson02:00 Why Tracking Everything Fails03:20 Pick Few KPIs for Traction05:51 Data Rich Direction Poor07:52 What It Looks Like Done Right08:42 Choose Focus Metrics This Quarter10:47 Action Steps and Accountability13:17 Solve Off Track Metrics14:43 Wrap Up and Get HelpGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

When PPO write-offs climb, adding more patients can increase stress while decreasing profitability. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with Miranda Beeson, ACT's Director of Education, to unpack “the PPO trap” and explain why more patients can mean less money. You'll learn how to spot the effort gap, gather the right data before making insurance decisions, and shift the insurance mindset and language so your team can confidently support a more profitable model—whether that means going fully fee-for-service or reducing PPO exposure strategically. Listen to Episode 1047of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:More patients can increase production but still reduce profit when write-offs and effort gap widen.Practices should make PPO decisions with data—not emotion—by analyzing write-offs, plan mix, production, and procedure impact.Going fee-for-service must match your business model and requires leadership, team alignment, and consistent communication.If you're not ready to go fully out-of-network, you can improve profitability by tracking write-offs per plan and participating selectively.Capacity matters: if you have holes in the schedule, it may not be the right time to drop plans aggressively.Teams must shift language from “coverage” to “benefits” and keep clinical recommendations separate from insurance limitations.Front office and team buy-in are critical, because inconsistent messaging and fear-based language will sabotage the transition.Snippets:00:00 More patients doesn't automatically mean more profit—and why the effort gap matters.04:59 How write-offs have grown after COVID, including practices seeing 30–55%+.10:18 Why going fee-for-service isn't just an insurance decision—it's a business model and leadership decision.14:22 The key data to review before dropping a plan (patients, production, write-offs, procedures, attrition tolerance).18:40 How to participate strategically: track write-offs per plan, evaluate plan impact, and consider fee negotiation.22:29 How to identify “poor fit” plans and include admin team friction (appeals, phone time, denials) in the decision.28:05 The mindset shift: insurance as a benefit, not coverage—and why insurance shouldn't drive diagnosis.31:53 Language that protects the health recommendation and reduces insurance-driven conversations.36:48 How to answer “Do you take my insurance?” without undermining value or confidence.38:10 First steps: confirm you bill full fees, know true write-offs, and clarify your practice model direction.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

Do you ever catch yourself thinking, “Why am I even doing this?” When dentistry becomes all noise—production goals, staffing issues, and nonstop mental load—it's easy to lose your purpose and drift into burnout. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back practice coach Miranda Beeson to explain how reconnecting to service—without sacrificing yourself—restores energy, strengthens leadership, and makes the work meaningful again. You'll learn how service applies to patients, your team, your profession, and your community, plus practical ways to re-anchor your mindset through daily habits and better language around numbers. Listen to Episode 1043 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Dentistry is a helping profession, and burnout grows when purpose gets replaced by task-focus, noise, and transactional thinking.Service is not self-sacrifice; you have to protect boundaries and run a strong business to serve appropriately.When patients become “appointments” or “dollar signs,” fulfillment drops and emotional fatigue increases for both doctors and teams.Serving your team means creating an opportunity for financial stability, fulfillment, and development—not just expecting performance.Leadership is a mindset, not a title, and anyone can lead by showing up with an others-focused approach.Serving the profession and community through mentorship, study clubs, and giving back can restore meaning and re-energize seasoned dentists.Re-anchoring daily to purpose and gratitude helps reset mindset, improves team language around metrics, and supports healthier leadership.Snippets:00:00 Burnout And The Why01:23 Meet Coach Miranda03:02 Dentistry Noise Overload04:22 Service Fuels Purpose06:22 Serve Without Sacrifice09:06 When Service Gets Lost14:10 Serving Patients Deeply16:50 Serving Your Team20:52 Leadership Without Titles22:21 Serve Dentistry Community24:15 Community Service Mindset24:32 Mentorship Stories25:34 Giving Back Fuels Joy27:12 Keep the Fire Lit27:25 Margin and Mindsets29:07 Practical Reset Tips30:16 Purpose in Huddles31:41 Gratitude Over the Gap33:38 Reframing Numbers as Care35:03 Accountability and the Right People37:14 Final Takeaways on Service41:28 Core Purpose and Resources42:41 Podcast FarewellGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

How could the second-largest school district in the nation believe its decision to ban screens was right when so many educators adamantly believe it's wrong? How are school boards and educators looking at the same research and arriving at different conclusions? The discussion around screen use in schools has intensified, particularly with the LA Unified School District's decision to impose a screen ban. But what does this mean for our students and their educational experience? In this conversation, we'll unravel the rationale, the existing research on technology use in education, and how we can approach technology to enhance learning rather than hinder it.

No technical gear matching the required criteria (firearms with manufacturer and model) is explicitly detailed. GOING BALLISTIC Professor Jens Ludwig Pushes Behavioral Training and Public Space Improvements for Gun Violence Reduction (Savage) University of Chicago Professor Jens Ludwig advocates alternatives to uncertain gun control measures, proposing behavioral training programs like ‘Becoming A Man' in Chicago public schools to teach de-escalation of conflicts and urban design changes such as converting empty lots to pocket parks. These interventions target intuitive human thinking patterns (95% of brain activity) and environmental factors in high-violence areas to prevent escalation to gun violence. Detailed in his 2025 book ‘Unforgiving Places: The Unexpected Origins of American Gun Violence,' the approach focuses on low-income U.S. neighborhoods without restricting firearms ownership. GOA Demands Investigation into ATF's Leaking of Personal Information in Silencer Shop Found. v. BATFE (Savage) Gun Owners of America (GOA) is demanding a U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General investigation after DOJ attorneys representing the ATF publicly disclosed sensitive NFA tax returns and personal details of a GOA member on a court docket without redaction during the Silencer Shop Found. v.

Shreveport, Louisiana: Convicted Felon Kills 8 Children in Mass Shooting (Savage) A convicted felon in Shreveport, Louisiana, fatally shot eight children aged 3 to 11 across three homes and injured two adult women on April 19, 2026, before being killed by police after a chase. The perpetrator violated federal law by possessing a firearm due to his prior felony conviction for shooting at a vehicle. The incident has sparked political commentary on gun control, with critics like California Gov. Gavin Newsom blaming the NRA and calling for restrictions. 13 U.S. Senators Demand ATF Stop Enforcing Vacated Biden-Era ‘Pistol Brace' Final Rule (Savage) Thirteen Republican U.S. Senators, led by Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), sent a letter to the ATF on April 15 demanding an end to enforcement of the vacated 2023 ‘Factoring Criteria for Firearms with an Attached Stabilizing Brace' rule, which classified most pistols with stabilizing braces as short-barreled rifles under the National Firearms Act. They urge the ATF to issue an interpretive rule clarifying that braced firearms are not SBRs and to seek a permanent injunction via ongoing litigation by Texas and Gun Owners of America. The rule was vacated by courts in August 2024, but ATF signals intent to continue its legal theory. REVIEWS Review: Brown guy 78 from Iowa Review from Brown guy 78, Solid gun knowledge, Shawn is deeply dove into giving the listeners knowledge, Jeremy is usually sick and snotty, but his knowledge is endless, Nick is the sharpest edge, maybe because he's silent most of the time. Aaron is absent . So yeah, great podcast! (Intentionally left Savage out.. fuck him.) 5 stars! Love this show! Review: Anonymous Coward from Florida PooP Review: Anonymous Coward from OR Hilarious that this guy is offended by Trump's actions where was he when Biden was falling down stairs tripping over chords calling out for a dead person in the crowd.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the ISIS attack in New York carried out by two young immigrants is unfortunately only the beginning of such incidents. Iran has pre-positioned hit squads because of the Biden administration's open borders and Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Mayor Mamdani's response to this terrorism was appalling. Then, for the media, and now for most politicians, what's most important is not winning this war against Iran AND ensuring it's not replaced by another monstrous regime, but the price of gasoline on a daily basis. Of course, when phony climate change policies were being instituted and drove up the price of gasoline, oil, electricity, automobiles, etc., we didn't get a daily barrage of such reports. But now, we even get charts and other graphics showing us the day-to-day increase in gasoline. If this military campaign is ended prematurely, and the second phase of ensuring the institution of a civil government is not accomplished, chances are this entire effort will be for naught. The economic, geo-political, and national security gains, which have been immense, and the stated goal of liberating the Iranian people, which initiated this process, could become a disaster in every respect -- including political. The ruling class elitists in Europe and America betrayed their countries by refusing honest debate about uncontrolled immigration of Islamists. These elites encouraged and allowed overwhelming border surges, motivated partly by Islamist strategies to conquer the West. In the U.S., Democrats pursued open borders, try to defund enforcement like ICE to build a future voting base of illegal immigrants. Islamists will vote Democrat temporarily before ultimately destroying both parties and taking over, as seen in parts of Europe, NYC, and Dearborn. The NYC terrorist attack is an example: two young Muslim men, inspired by ISIS, attempted to bomb an anti-Islamist protest, shouting "Allahu Akbar" but the devices failed. Mainstream media and Democrats downplayed or obscured the Islamist terrorist motive, framing it vaguely as devices at an anti-Muslim rally, condemning Islamophobia instead, and avoiding the truth of a near-mass-casualty jihadist attack, which the speaker sees as part of a broader pattern of cover-up by media and elites who tolerate or support such threats. Later, the SAVE America act is a no brainer and Democrats desperately oppose it because they benefit from fraudulent practices enabled by big-city political machines. Sen Chuck Schumer acts like a modern George Wallace by insisting everyone should vote—not just legal voters—allowing illegal ballots, double voting, or votes for the deceased to neutralize legitimate votes. Much of this fraud is allegedly legalized, making proof difficult and necessitating stricter statutes like voter ID requirements. The United States is a nation at war with itself, dividing Americans into two sides: patriotic, red-blooded citizens who love their country on one side, and elected Democrats in Washington—along with their operatives, Marxists, Islamists, the woke Reich neo-fascists—on the other. The Democrat Party policies undermine national security and sovereignty, such as opening borders to unvetted illegal aliens for years, allowing dangerous individuals to remain in the country. There are escalating attacks targeting Jews and Jewish facilities, such as the attack on the Temple Israel synagogue in Michigan. Then there's the shooting at Old Dominion University by a gunman was previously convicted for ISIS support. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, they discuss Thursday's terrorist attacks in Michigan and Virginia, reports that Iran may be activating sleeper cells in the U.S., and CNN's bizarre fumbling of the facts on last weekend's attempted terrorist attack in New York City.First, they share their Friday discussion of the terrorist attacks at a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, and an ROTC class at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. They highlight the impressive responses of synagogue security and the ROTC cadets, who prevented the respective attacks from being much deadlier. They also fume that the Virginia terrorist was let out of prison early after being convicted of providing material support to ISIS and permitted to stay in the U.S.Next, they react to U.S. intelligence reports, which claim we intercepted encrypted messages designed to activate Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S. How significant is this threat? And wouldn't now be a good time to fund the Department of Homeland Security?Then, they pull their hair out over CNN fmiserably failing to get the facts straight about last weekend's attempted terrorist attack in New York City. Even though the suspects  pledged allegiance to ISIS, CNN portrayed then as two teenagers who just happened to end up throwing bombs at demonstrators they didn't like.Finally, in the chaser of the week, they highlight Washington state Democrats passing a 9.9 percent income tax on households grossing more than a million dollars per year. While the left may relish soaking the rich, there may be some unintended consequences for people of all political stripes.New episodes every weekday.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, the United States is a nation at war with itself, dividing Americans into two sides: patriotic, red-blooded citizens who love their country on one side, and elected Democrats in Washington—along with their operatives, Marxists, Islamists, the woke Reich neo-fascists—on the other. The Democrat Party policies undermine national security and sovereignty, such as opening borders to unvetted illegal aliens for years, allowing dangerous individuals to remain in the country.  This includes reluctance to deport, willingness to undermine protective agencies like the Coast Guard and TSA during heightened threats, and overall betrayal.  Also, certain phony influencers, along with elements of the Democratic Party, are spreading antisemitism, embracing overseas enemies, inciting violence against Jews and Christians and providing aid and comfort to adversaries during wartime. There are escalating attacks targeting Jews and Jewish facilities, such as the attack on the Temple Israel synagogue in Michigan. Then there's the shooting at Old Dominion University by a gunman was previously convicted for ISIS support.  Later, the media is foolish for suggesting Iran needs to activate sleeper cells, as Islamist operatives are already brainwashed, self-motivated, and perpetually poised to act without any central call. These threats extend beyond Jews, as evidenced by 9/11, and more violence is inevitable, putting everyone at risk. Additionally, Iran's regime is deliberately attempting to block the Strait of Hormuz to drive up oil prices, aiming to generate global pressure on President Trump. The media and foreign actors are hypocritically amplifying complaints about rising oil costs—despite previously ignoring high prices under climate change agendas—while propagandists in the press aid the enemy and push for concessions to preserve this homicidal, genocidal regime. Finally, James Rosen calls in to discuss his book - Scalia: Supreme Court Years, 1986 to 2001. He explains that Scalia was one of the important Americans of the last 100 years.

In case we needed more reasons to denaturalize and deport Muslims, we're finding out more about the alleged attackers behind the Michigan synagogue and Old Dominion University shootings. Both men were naturalized citizens yet clearly hated America.

Texas Attorney General candidate and Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) discusses his bill that would pause immigration throughout the country.

At Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, 41-year-old Ayman Mohamed Ghazali, a Lebanese-born naturalized U.S. citizen, allegedly rammed a truck into the building near the early childhood center, breached doors, drove down a hallway, and engaged in gunfire with security officers, who shot him. No children or synagogue members were killed or seriously injured. Separately, at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, 36-year-old Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former Virginia Army National Guard member previously convicted and imprisoned for attempting to provide material support to ISIS, entered a classroom during an ROTC session, shouted "Allahu Akbar," and opened fire, killing one and injuring two others. He was subdued and killed by ROTC cadets. The FBI is investigating both incidents as potential acts of terrorism or targeted violence. Is Iran activating sleeper cells?

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers a wave of Islamist terror attacks across the U.S., including a deadly shooting at Old Dominion University in Virginia and a car bombing attempt at a synagogue and daycare in Michigan. Bryan then turns to the war with Iran, where Tehran has escalated its attacks on oil infrastructure across the Middle East, striking tankers near Iraq, targeting an oil port in Oman, and hitting cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz as energy markets brace for further disruption. He also reports on U.S. and Israeli strikes inside Iran that are targeting regime forces and infrastructure, new AI-assisted military operations speeding up targeting decisions, and the growing debate in Washington about how long the war will last and what victory might look like. Finally, Bryan closes the week with some encouraging medical research, including new findings on how exercise can boost memory and brain health, plus emerging science linking gut health to sharper thinking as we age.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Islamist terror attacks Virginia Michigan, Old Dominion University shooting, synagogue attack Michigan Dearborn, Iran war escalation Strait of Hormuz, Iranian drone attacks oil tankers Middle East, US Israel strikes Tehran IRGC, AI targeting warfare Iran conflict, Trump Iran war strategy, exercise brain health memory research, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

Today's Headlines: Two shootings in one day. An attacker rammed an explosives-filled truck into a Michigan synagogue and opened fire — nearly empty due to a half-day, so no casualties besides the shooter. The FBI called it targeted antisemitic violence. Hours later, a man who served 11 years for supporting ISIS killed one person and injured two in a classroom at Old Dominion University before being subdued by ROTC students. Both are being investigated as terrorism. On the war: Iran's new Supreme Leader Khamenei made his first public statement — no surrender, Strait of Hormuz stays shut, and he will avenge his entire family's deaths. Both US and Israeli intelligence now agree the regime won't fall anytime soon, so Israel has quietly downgraded its goal from regime change to degrading Iran's military. The USS Gerald Ford, which Trump sent from Venezuela to Iran with zero maintenance time, had a laundry room fire and has broken plumbing. The U.S. Treasury is borrowing $50 billion a week, adding a trillion to the deficit over five months. Total national debt: $38.9 trillion. Congress passed a bipartisan housing bill 89-10. Trump said "no one gives a fuck about housing." Florida passed a law requiring a passport or birth certificate to register to vote. Epstein's accountant testified for six hours, claimed he saw nothing, and named five men who paid Epstein: Les Wexner, Glen Dubin, Steven Sinofsky, Leon Black, and the Rothschild family — which accounted for maybe 30 seconds of testimony. The Pentagon banned photographers because Hegseth didn't like his pictures. The White House made a war hype video using NFL footage without consent. Trump has been gifting cabinet members Florsheim shoes in the wrong size. And finally, he gave Jake Paul his "complete and total endorsement" for no office, no race, and no discernible reason.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they examine the Islamist terrorist attacks in Michigan and Virginia, the local Virginia prosecutor who wants to blame the attack on guns, and former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke predicting the end of real elections and the start of unchecked fascism unless Democrats win the midterms.First, they walk through the terrorist attacks targeting Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, and an ROTC class at Old Dominion University in Virginia. Both incidents appear to be clear cases of Islamist terrorism, bringing the total to at least four similar attacks in less than two weeks. The Virginia suspect previously served prison time for providing material support to ISIS but was released early and allowed to remain in the United States.Next, they rip Norfolk, Virginia, prosecutor Ramin Fatehi, who has jurisdiction over the Old Dominion case, for blaming the “cult of gun absolutism” rather than the extremist ideology the shooter openly expressed before the attack. Jim hammers Fatehi for attempting to shift the narrative and explains how the terrorist violated multiple existing laws at every step leading up to the shooting.Finally, they examine extreme rhetoric in American politics as Beto O'Rourke claims the upcoming midterm elections are the last barrier between freedom and endless authoritarian rule. Jim and Greg excoriate O'Rourke for using the kind of reckless political language that has motivated violence in the past.Please visit our great sponsors:Unlock your healthiest skin by targeting visible aging signs at https://Oneskin.co/3ML with code 3ML for 15% off.Make this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

It’s been a chaotic and frightening day in both Michigan and Virginia. First, just outside of Detroit, a vehicle driven by a man armed with a rifle rammed a synagogue. Security fired shots and the vehicle burst into flames inside the synagogue. The would-be shooter was killed, but there are concerns about incendiary devices that may still be inside the vehicle. In Virginia, one victim is dead, two others injured after a gunman opened fire on Old Dominion University’s campus just before 11am. The gunman is dead, but investigators are now trying to determine what happened and why, as classes have been cancelled for the rest of the week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
