4. Post-Pandemic Lessons and Policy Interventions Nicholas Eberstadt Book: Men Without Work (Post-Pandemic Edition) Eberstadt addresses the post-pandemic landscape, noting the problem has worsened and shows warning signs of spreading to prime-age women and older cohorts. The China shock (China entering the WTO) previously disrupted US manufacturing. Pandemic-era government transfers were unique in that US disposable income rose, generating over $2.5 trillion in excess savings that facilitated a "delayed return to work." Policy solutions include adopting a "work first" principle for social welfare programs and improving vocational skills training to reduce disincentives. Eberstadt stresses the need to gather statistics on the vast ex-felon population (one in seven adult men has a felony conviction) to enable evidence-based policies for societal reentry. Gaming the disability system often involves claims that are difficult to falsify, such as psychological or musculoskeletal pain. 1939 NYSE

Dr. Jud Brewer is an addiction psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and Director of Research and Innovation at Brown University's Mindfulness Center. Jud is passionate about understanding how our brains work, and how to use that knowledge to help people make deep, permanent change in their lives — With the goal of reducing suffering in the world at large.This conversation, which we originally recorded and released during the Pandemic in 2021,Looked at the deepening division in our society, the patterns of 'othering', judgment, and blame, Through the lens of habit formation. The hypothesis that Jud and I exploredWhich was informed by his novel approaches to using mindfulness for habit change, was: If othering, us and them thinking, and judgment are in fact habitsThan it's not only possible to break them,It's also possible to develop habits that counteract division and nurture connection and community. The key question though, which just happens to be at the heart of Jud's work,Is How? In this episode we'll explore some ideas for answering that question including:Insights about how our brains learnAnd Practices developed in Jud's lab that leverage mindfulness and the power of curiosityPractices that offer hope, and a potential path for both individual and collective healing.We chose to re-release this episode now,not only because it's a unique lens to look at these challenges, But because recognizing our common humanity, and nurturing connection with each other is needed perhaps now more than ever.

“It wasn't a profession, it was a way of life,” observes internationally respected psychiatrist Dr. Nasser Loza, reflecting on a century-long family legacy in mental health care that began when his grandfather founded The Behman Hospital in Cairo. In this candid Raise the Line conversation with host Michael Carrese, Dr. Loza traces the transformation of psychiatry he's witnessed in his long career as increases in classifications, payment bureaucracy, reliance on pharmaceuticals, and technological disruption have each left their mark. The cumulative costs associated with these changes have, he laments, pushed care out of reach for many and hindered the human connection that is key to the discipline. He describes his prescription for countering these trends as a focus on effective and modest aims. “Rather than saying, come and see me in therapy for five years and I will make a better person out of you, I think focusing on symptom-targeted help is going to be what is needed.” In this wide-ranging interview, you'll also learn about progress on advancing the rights of mental health patients and lowering stigmas, how to manage the rise of online therapy and use of AI chatbots, and the importance of empathy and transparency in mental health counseling. Don't miss this valuable perspective on a critically important dimension of healthcare that's informed by decades of experience as a clinician, government official and global advocate.

“When I was in medical school, no one had even heard of mitochondrial disease. Today, every student who graduates here knows what it is and has seen a patient with it,” says Dr. Mary Kay Koenig, director of the Center for the Treatment of Pediatric Neurodegenerative Disease at UTHealth Houston McGovern Medical School. That remarkable change in awareness has been accompanied by advances in genetic sequencing, the development of clinical guidelines, and the emergence of potential treatments in some forms of mitochondrial disease. In fact, Dr. Koenig's multidisciplinary team at UTHealth's Mitochondrial Center of Excellence has been a key player in clinical trials that may yield the first FDA-approved treatments for it. As you'll learn in this Year of the Zebra conversation with host Michael Carrese, her work in neurodegenerative diseases also includes tuberous sclerosis, where advanced therapies have replaced the need for repeated surgeries, and Leigh Syndrome, which has seen improvements in diagnoses and supportive therapies leading to better quality of life for patients. Tune in as Dr. Koenig reflects on an era of progress in the space, the rewards of balancing research, teaching and patient care, and the need for more clinicians to center listening, humility and honesty in their approach to caring for rare disease patients and their families.Mentioned in this episode:Mitochondrial Center of ExcellenceCenter for the Treatment of Pediatric Neurodegenerative Disease If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

5. Putin's 2021 Essay and the Road to Annexation: Myths Versus Reality Isolated during the COVID-19 pandemic, Vladimir Putin read history and published an essay in 2021 that was revelatory of his expansionist, revisionist thinking. This document, based on historical myths, asserts that Ukrainians are essentially Russians, that Ukraine has always been Russia, and that its future must be fully subordinated to Moscow. Experts often misjudged Putin, seeing him as utterly cynical and rational, failing to recognize his ideological commitment to turning these myths into reality. The annexation of Crimea in 2014 was a reaction to the Euromaidan uprising, which deposed the pro-Russian president Yanukovych. Putin saw Ukraine's pivot to the West as an immediate threat, necessitating the seizure of Crimea and the Donbas industrial areas before it was "too late." In Donbas, initial local protests were quickly bolstered by Russian infiltrators, mercenaries, and funding, escalating the situation into a mix of local dissent and invasion.

The horsemanship industry, for all its lofty ideals and bleeding-heart woo-woo mindfulness garbage, is failing to protect riders. Horse injuries have spiked 139% in riders 65+, despite total injuries across all age groups are lower. And the severity of the injuries has increased. This means that when falls happen, despite widespread use of modern safety gear like protective helmets and vests, traumatic brain and spinal injuries are actually MORE frequent. The data is clear: the modern horsemanship industry is failing to promote safety. Modern riders and horses are LESS well trained and LESS capable than ever. Helmets are the only thing holding back this flood of incompetence. This episode is a call for a re-orientation of horsemanship instruction toward SAFETY and away from nebulous concepts like "connection" and "attunement". Because that stuff isn't working. And it's pretty hard to be "attuned" when your pelvis is broken.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's killing, the internet has erupted with a wildfire of misinformation — from political false flags and “deep state” coverups to AI-generated “evidence” spreading faster than the facts ever could. In this episode, we break down the anatomy of modern conspiracy culture: why every tragedy now births a dozen competing theories before the dust settles, and how artificial intelligence is about to supercharge the next wave of digital deception. We'll unpack some of the most unhinged claims circulating online, explore how social media algorithms weaponize outrage, and discuss why a “digital pandemic” of misinformation could soon rival any biological threat. This isn't about left or right — it's about what happens when no one can tell what's real anymore.

“Giving learners options gives them a better learning experience. It's more holistic and more comprehensive,” says Sean Moloney, CEO and founder of EmbodyXR, an extended reality platform focused on the use of immersive technologies in medical education. In this eye-opening Raise the Line conversation, Moloney explains how AI-powered extended reality (XR) --which integrates augmented, virtual, and simulation-based environments -- allows learners to interact with patients, explore multiple diagnostic choices, and experience varied outcomes based on their decisions. The result, he notes, is not only stronger engagement in learning, but a measurable improvement in understanding. Despite these gains, Moloney is quick to point out that he sees these technologies as complements to traditional training, not substitutes for it. “We'll never replace in-person teaching,” he says, “but we can make learners even better.” Beyond training future clinicians, the EmbodyXR platform is also offering new modes of patient and caregiver education, such as augmented reality guidance for using medical devices at home. Join host Lindsey Smith as she explores how EmbodyXR achieves and maintains clinical accuracy, the connectivity it offers between headsets, personal computers and mobile devices, and other capabilities that are shaping the future of how healthcare professionals and patients will learn.

Gas prices are plunging nationwide — the average has dropped six cents in a week to $3.02 per gallon, nearly 14 cents lower than a month ago. Analysts say America could soon see the national average fall below $3 and stay there for the first time in years, driven by oil dipping under $60 a barrel. Some states, including Oklahoma, Texas, and Wisconsin, may even see prices drop below $2 per gallon — a milestone not reached since the pandemic. Meanwhile on the show: giving lottery scratchers as gifts sparks a “finder's fee” debate, Conway jokes about winning the Lotto and filing a restraining order, “Castro & Conway in the Mornings” makes an appearance, and memories of Wonder Pets lead to talk about kids now running the car radio. Weather-wise, forecasters missed big — expecting an inch of rain but getting 3–4, triggering crash warnings and mudslide fears, especially around Sierra Madre's Eaton Fire burn scar where a big rig even ended up dangling off the 118.

War is the perfect petri dish for disease. In the conflicts of the 18th and 19th centuries, many more troops died of illnesses than in battle. And, at the start of the 20th century, the Spanish Flu pandemic emerged out of the chaos of the First World War.With anti-microbial resistance on the rise and HIV cases soaring among Russian soldiers, might ‘Disease X' – the mystery pathogen that could cause the next pandemic – be lurking in Ukraine, or Gaza, or Sudan? In the first episode of a brand new Global Health Security Series for Battle Lines, Venetia Rainey is joined by Arthur Scott-Geddes to ask: Could war spark the next pandemic? We hear from Amesh Adalja, Senior Scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security about pandemic preparedness and how war zones breed disease. Plus, Laura Spinney, author of best selling book, Pale Rider, explains how the First World War paved the way for the Spanish Flu to kill up to 100 million people.

Michael talks with Nate Soares, co-author of "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All", about the alarming risks of advanced artificial intelligence. Soares, president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, explains why AIs are not designed but grown, how that leads to unpredictable behavior, and why even their creators can't control them. They discuss chilling examples—from rogue chatbots to lab “escape” attempts—and why simply “unplugging” an AI may not be possible. Soares argues that humanity must act now, treating AI risk as seriously as pandemics or nuclear war. Original air date 15 October 2025. The book was published on 16 September 2025.

When the film The Matrix hit theatres in 1999, the basic plot of humanity being hijacked into a false reality struck a chord. Many people back then sensed something wasn't quite right with the world—that "something else" was going on. Today, many researchers and professional journalists, from Tucker Carlson to Naomi Wolf, are proving peoples' instincts right, exposing the staggering depth and complexity of the assault on humanity and our basic freedoms—from COVID to Deep State corruption to AI to social credit scores to the endless wars in the Middle East, etc. So far few have realized there is something behind the conspiracy theories and the corrupt men and women involved in them. There is another layer to humanity's alarming trajectory that must be exposed before it can be fully understood, halted, and reversed. The source and nature of the matrix goes far deeper than greed and madness. For thousands of years, every culture on Earth has described a hostile, invisible intelligence bedeviling humanity, dragging us down. The ancient Greeks called this influence the Archons—malevolent beings controlling people's thoughts, feelings and actions. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung called this invisible force “antimimos, the imitator and evil principle,” equating it with the Antichrist. Native American tribes call these beings wetiko and windingo. Christianity and the well-oiled entertainment industry have unwittingly (or otherwise) trivialized this parasitic intelligence in its depiction of Satan or the devil. Cracking the Matrix: 14 Keys to Individual & Global Freedom is designed to help people finally see this ancient, interdimensional force, understand its agenda, recognize its blatant presence behind globalist machinations and events, learn how to break free of its controlling influences and stand up in their true power and create the New Heaven and the New Earth. CATE MONTANA is a professional journalist specializing in the fields of psychology, spirituality, consciousness, alternative medicine and health. Cate Montana has written several very different books: An exposé on social sexual manipulation, Gender, Patriarchy& Sexual Mind Control: Breaking Free; a thorough explanation of the ego and the conscious state called "enlightenment," The E Word, Ego Enlightenment & Other Essentials [Atria2017]l; a feminist memoir, Unearthing Venus: My Search for the Woman Within [Watkins2013], and a spiritual novel, Apollo & Me [Rampant Feline Media 2019]. She is the co-author of The Heart of the Matter with Dr. Darren Weissman [Hay House 2013], and Ghetto Physics: Redefining the Game, co-written with William Arntz [Lord of the Wind Press 2012]. Cate speaks and teaches about consciousness, ego development, spirituality and the nature of interdimensional influences. www.catemontana.comcmontana.substack.com

Why has America struggled so much to effectively manage the opioid use crisis? One of the answers, as you'll learn in this eye-opening episode of Raise the Line, is rooted in laws and attitudes from the early 20th century that removed addiction from the realm of medicine and defined it as a moral failing. “The federal Harrison Act of 1914 forbade any physician from prescribing opioids to people with addiction, so it became more the purview of law enforcement or behavioral health or religion,” says Dr. Melody Glenn, who regularly confronts the consequences of this history during shifts in the emergency department at Banner-University Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona. And as Glenn explains to host Caleb Furnas, the resulting stigma associated with addiction has extended to the treatments for it as well, especially methadone, despite its effectiveness. Drawing on her dual expertise in emergency and addiction medicine, Glenn dispels misconceptions that medication-assisted treatment merely replaces one addiction with another, and emphasizes that harm reduction is critical to saving lives. Her desire to break prevailing stigmas led her to discover the story of Dr. Marie Nyswander, who pioneered methadone maintenance therapy in the 1960s and is featured in Dr. Glenn's new book, Mother of Methadone: A Doctor's Quest, a Forgotten History, and a Modern-Day Crisis. You'll leave this instructive interview understanding the roots of our flawed approach to addiction treatment, meeting an overlooked pioneer in the field, and admiring a devoted and compassionate physician who is following in her footsteps.

In this episode Ben Plumley catches up with Dr. Seth Berkley, founder of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, former CEO of GAVI and amongst other responsibilities, now a senior advisor at Brown University's School of Public Health's Pandemic Center. Seth has recently published a new book “Fair Doses: An Insider's Story of the Pandemic and the Global Fight for Vaccine Equity” and he and Ben discuss the book's topics of vaccine equity, misinformation, and the rapid innovations in vaccine development, particularly the success and future potential of mRNA vaccines. Dr. Berkley highlights the challenges posed by misinformation and the political landscape, as well as the importance of global collaboration in addressing pandemics.
