Today's Headlines: Israel launched missile strikes on Syria's military HQ in Damascus, potentially destabilizing the new Syrian government amid talks to normalize relations. Despite the Trump administration's request to hold back, Israel is sending more troops to the border, citing threats to the Druze community. Meanwhile, Trump hosted Bahrain's crown prince, who pledged $17 billion in U.S. investments—though details were vague, aside from a symbolic model airplane. Trump also denied plans to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell, despite telling Republicans otherwise, and floated the Fed's over-budget HQ renovations as a possible excuse. Separately, the administration fired federal prosecutor Maurene Comey—daughter of James Comey—who had handled the Epstein, Maxwell, and Diddy cases, offering no clear reason. Trump mocked his own supporters who believe Epstein conspiracy theories, calling them “weaklings,” while still refusing to release promised files. And in two more Trump-world twists: DHS deported five migrants to Eswatini, an African country none of them were from, and federal agents arrested nine anti-ICE protesters in Spokane. Lastly, $100 million worth of Trump memecoins are unlocking today, padding the president's net worth. Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: Axios: Israel bombs Syrian capital despite U.S. pressure to "stand down" Bloomberg: Bahrain's PM Vows $17 Billion US Investment During Trump Meeting NBC News: Trump says it's 'highly unlikely' he will fire Fed Chair Powell after broaching idea with GOP reps Axios: Trump says Fed renovations issue might be fireable for Powell WaPo: DOJ fires Maurene Comey, prosecutor involved in Epstein, Diddy cases AP News: Trump slams his own supporters as 'weaklings' for falling for what he now calls the Epstein 'hoax' Axios: DHS sends migrants to Eswatini in new 3rd-country deportation Seattle Time: Federal government accuses nine Spokane protesters of violence against ICE Bloomberg: Trump Memecoin Unlock To Test Crypto Demand Morning Announcements is produced by Sami Sage and edited by Grace Hernandez-Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Jim and Greg on Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the suspension of numerous Secret Service figures following the Trump shooting, former White House physician Kevin O'Connor refusing to testify to Congress about Joe Biden's health, and the bizarre sequence of events that led Kamala Harris to pick Tim Walz as her running mate.First, they welcome the news that six Secret Service personnel (both supervisors and line-level agents) were suspended after the attempted assassination of President Trump last summer in Butler, Pennsylvania. There have also been significant technological advancements, including drones and better communication with local law enforcement helping to secure events. Jim thinks these are good steps and suspects Trump is satisfied with the fallout.Next, they shake their heads as Dr. O'Connor invokes doctor-patient confidentiality and his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination for refusing to answer lawmakers' questions about Joe Biden's true cognitive and physical condition while serving as president. O'Connor declared Biden fully fit to serve as president as late as February 2024.Finally, they get a kick out of the bizarre reasons Kamala Harris ruled out Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate and the equally odd conclusions they reached for choosing Tim Walz. Walz was not only a terrible choice, but it created more doubt about Kamala's ability to be president.Please visit our great sponsors:Manage your workplace stress with Better Help.

What does it mean to be a man of God and who gets to decide? In this episode, I take a hard look at how churches and Christian influencers are shaping men under the banner of “biblical masculinity.” From warrior sermons to purity culture to performative strength disguised as holiness, we're naming what's really going on: cherry-picked verses, selective literalism, and a whole lot of ego. Recorded during Men's Health Month and following my Father's Day sermon response, this conversation asks what kind of men we're actually forming, and whether Jesus would even be welcome in the version of manhood being preached.

After the bombs dropped on Iran's nuclear facilities, there were some rumblings on X that the mission felt eerily familiar. Mike Benz said Operation Midnight Hammer is the same mission that plays out in the grand finale of Joseph Kosinski's Top Gun: Maverick.His followers quickly pointed out that they're using fighter jets in Top Gun: Maverick, not the stealth B-2 bomber. The $2 billion plane is called the “ghost of the skies” because it is undetectable on radar.Even if the rough details are the same, the mission is slightly different because in the film, the pilot's skill is everything.Top Gun: Maverick is the American film industry at its finest, just as Operation Midnight Hammer is the American military at its finest. The film gives back more than it takes. It doesn't lecture us. It doesn't try to fix us. It merely entertains us for a couple of hours by reminding us why we need heroes and why we'll always respond to the Hero's Journey.We need heroes because, as the Buddhists say, life is suffering. We need them because every day we wake up alive is a good day. But most of our days are mundane and ordinary. And that might explain why Top Gun: Maverick resonated so deeply three years ago.After COVID and the Great Awokening brought Hollywood to its knees, the film industry desperately needed a Deus ex Machina. When Top Gun: Maverick made upwards of $700 million, it looked like it had finally arrived. It also earned a well-deserved Best Picture nomination and probably should have won, but it's been a while since they picked the actual Best Picture of the Year.Like the first Top Gun, Maverick was criticized as military propaganda. But we do ask our soldiers to fight and die in war as we sit in cafes with matcha lattes, so it's the least we can do to make a movie celebrating them.It turns out that Top Gun: Maverick isn't propaganda for the military. It's propaganda for the human race. It's propaganda for even having hopes or dreams at all. It's propaganda for feeling like a winner when the whole world is against you. We need heroes to take us on that journey. Even if we didn't know we needed them, we only have to watch them on screen to understand why.Tom Cruise in Top Gun is our ordinary world. He's brought back into the extraordinary because he's the only pilot who can fly like that and reach Mach 10.What's so great about Top Gun: Maverick is that while it shows our hero succeeding, it also shows him pushing too far and failing. We're now hooked to see if he can learn his lesson.Like all heroes, Maverick must be blessed with something special that makes him the only person who can save the day.It might sound silly when reduced to the basics, but a tried-and-true formula works. We root for the hero we know. The harder it is on him, the more invested we become.Top Gun: Maverick, to my mind, has very few flaws. But it does have one. They chose the girl to fly the critical mission. I didn't buy it. Maybe we can believe that extraordinary women exist just as extraordinary men do. It's only a movie, after all. But suspension of disbelief only goes so far. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit sashastone.substack.com/subscribe

What if your best body, clearest mind, and strongest sense of purpose were still ahead of you? That's the question I explore in this episode with Richard Rosenfeld, MD, MPH, MBA. He's a board-certified ENT, Director of Guidelines and Quality at the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, and one of the most published ENT researchers in the world—with nearly 400 peer-reviewed articles to his name. But what really sets Rich apart is his personal story. In his mid-50s, he hit a turning point—and decided to change course. He adopted a whole food, plant-based lifestyle. Picked up strength training again after decades off. Started running. Now, in his 60s, he's finished 10 marathons, lifts consistently, and says he feels sharper and more alive than ever. In This Episode, We Dive Into: What sparked Rich's midlife transformation How he fuels, trains, and recovers today Strength training after 50 and the role of protein and creatine His honest take on GLP-1 meds (like Wegovy and Zepbound) for weight loss And how mindset, curiosity, and purpose fuel long-term change We also talk about the culture of medicine—and what it'll take to build a system that actually supports health, not just disease management. This conversation is full of science-backed insight and lived experience. And it's a story that reminds you what's possible—no matter your starting point. Live well and RAK ON, Dr. Rak
