What happens when a political party nominates a candidate in its primary who is ideologically extreme? Do donors, especially those outside the party's base, react — and if so, how? That question is explored in a new paper by Andy Christopher Wayne Myers, Ph.D. Candidate in Political Science at Stanford University. He uncovers how donors respond when a relative “moderate” is replaced by a more extreme nominee and if the force of donors is actually weaker than it once was.

The microbiome continues to be viewed as a cornerstone of health, whether we are discussing the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular risk, immune dysfunction, and even cognitive health. One major contributions of the microbiome to our global health is in the production of short-chain fatty acids. Primary among these products is a compound known as n-butyrate. N-butyrate has profound roles, not only in our gut, but throughout our entire body. What are all the impacts of n-butyrate, and how do we foster an adequate supply of it? These are but some of the questions we discuss on today’s Lab Report. In this episode, we continue our spree on the importance of gut health. We cover food sources that are important for microbiome health, particularly for fermentation of short-chain fatty acids. We also cover how butyrate impacts the gut, the immune system, and much more. With all the profound roles of n-butyrate, it begs the question: is it the greatest of all the things made by our microbiome? Today on The Lab Report: 5:30 Gut microbiome production of SCFA’s (short-chain fatty acids) 6:30 Food sources of n-butyrate 8:00 Let’s Google It: The entomology of ‘butyrate’ 9:00 Butyrogenic species: What bacteria produce butyrate? 10:45 How butyrate is used throughout the body 13:00 Logical Speculation: n-butyrate, autoimmunity, and fiber 15:45 The gut-brain axis and appetite are influenced by butyrate 20:30 Skeletal muscle also responds to butyrate 23:30 Foods to eat to promote butyrate 26:00 N-Butyrate supplementation: mixed studies?

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1193: Today, we're covering a spike in EV inventory, why dealerships are losing service customers, and how Gen Z's complex spending habits could reshape the retail landscape.Show Notes with links:A new Cox Automotive study warns that dealerships are quietly losing the long game in fixed ops. Despite the average age of a vehicle being 12.8 years, customer loyalty—especially among recent buyers—is slipping fast.Dealerships now see 12% fewer service visits than in 2018, despite rising service volume overall.Loyalty is weakening: just 54% of owners with cars under 2 years old return to the selling dealer, down sharply from 72% in 2023.Independent shops, quick lube chains, and mobile services are capturing business once assumed to be “locked in.”Primary reasons for defections include surprise costs and poor communication—despite dealership pricing being slightly lower than independents on average.“There is a clear call to action here for dealerships to proactively address customer dissatisfaction, strengthen communication and improve sales to service coordination to build back market share through lasting relationships.” said Skyler Chadwick, Director of Product Consulting at Cox Automotive.New-vehicle inventory in the U.S. surged past 3.1 million units in early November, with electric vehicles stacking up the fastest.Total inventory rose from 2.8M to 3.14M units, with days' supply climbing to 70.EV supply more than doubled in October to 107 days, up from 47 just a month earlier.Gas-powered vehicles sit at 72 days; hybrids at a leaner 57 days. Cars remain tight at 46 days while light trucks sit at 60 daysToyota leads the pack with the tightest supply at just 33 days, while several Stellantis brands now exceed 100 days' supply.Subaru was the only automaker among monthly reporters to see inventory shrink.Retailers are racing to understand Gen Z—set to command $12 trillion in spending power by 2030. A new PwC report shows this generation mixes frugality with emotional spending and values-driven decisions.Gen Z plans to cut holiday spending by 23%, averaging $1,357—far less than millennials at $2,190.82% plan to buy “dupes”—affordable versions of luxury goods—and 79% wait for sales.While cautious, they'll splurge on “affordable affluence”: resale sneakers, luxury skincare, and $7 matcha lattes.Loyalty is fleeting: 81% have changed buying decisions based on a brand's reputation.Quote: “For most Gen Z'ers, customer loyalty has to be earned, and even then it is fragile,” said Greg Petro, Forbes contributor.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Host Nate Kaufman brings Rich Helppie back for a discussion about healthcare access.  A 30-day wait for a first oncology visit after hearing the word leukemia is not an edge case—it's the new normal in a system where demand outpaces supply and incentives reward the wrong behaviors. Nate opens with a personal story that reveals how access feels when the stakes are life and death, then pulls back the lens to explain why it happens: a 12-year training pipeline for specialists, uneven reimbursement that pushes clinicians toward concierge and direct primary care, and payer tactics that encourage consolidation rather than capacity.Kaufman and Helppie then get specific about the economics. Medicaid rates that barely cover overhead lead practices to cap panels, while insurers play separate groups against each other until they merge, gaining leverage but not necessarily improving availability. Primary care, which should function like a straightforward retail experience, is instead forced through insurance mechanics that add friction to simple, high-value services. The result is predictable: over 40 percent of ER visits come from Medicaid patients who couldn't access timely outpatient care, and the most vulnerable pay the highest price in avoidable emergencies.Their conversation wrestles with the big numbers and the real trade offs. Ten percent of patients drive more than 80 percent of spending across Medicare and commercial plans. Pharma's incentives to expand lifelong demand clash with insurers' incentives to deny care. The federal government, the largest health benefits organization in the world, changes leadership every few years, making long-term workforce planning and access expansion difficult. They outline pragmatic moves that can help now: secure continuity with direct primary care or concierge if possible, build a relationship with a PCP who can open specialist doors, and for complex care, shop outcomes rather than prices.If you've felt the squeeze—months-long waits, denials, or a scramble for appointments—this conversation gives language, data, and practical options. Listen to understand why access is collapsing, what levers could ease the pressure, and how to protect your path to timely, high-quality care today. If the ideas resonate, follow and share, and leave a review with your own access story—what worked, what didn't, and what needs to change next.Support the showEngage the conversation on Substack at The Common Bridge!

Role of Disability Specialists: Disability specialists are crucial in church settings, providing tailored support to individuals with autism. Their presence can significantly enhance the church experience for both individuals and their families. Communication and Collaboration: Effective communication between parents, leaders, and disability specialists is essential. Regular meetings and open dialogue can help create a supportive environment that meets the needs of individuals with autism. Social Skills Development: Leaders should focus on helping individuals with autism develop social skills through structured interactions and support, especially during transitional phases like moving into young men's or young women's groups. Utilizing Strengths: Individuals with autism often have unique strengths and interests. Leaders should identify these strengths and provide opportunities for individuals to contribute meaningfully to the church community. Leadership Applications Empower Disability Specialists: Leaders should actively call and support disability specialists in their wards, ensuring they have the resources and training needed to assist individuals with autism effectively. Foster Inclusive Environments: Create a culture of understanding and acceptance by encouraging open discussions about autism and providing training for leaders and members on how to interact positively with individuals on the spectrum. Encourage Participation: Leaders can help individuals with autism find suitable callings that align with their strengths, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose within the church community. 00:04:11 - Origin of the Book "Autism in Christ's Church" 00:04:54 - Robert's Expertise in Special Education 00:06:28 - Resources for Latter-day Saints and Autism 00:07:15 - Structure of the Book: Stories and Experiences 00:08:48 - Liberty's Background with Autism 00:09:36 - Robert's Journey into Special Education

The primary lie is responsible for the vast majority of relationship dysfunction and the attendant relationship dysfunction industries, namely: the belief that you can have any relationship with anyone. It turns out you can only have certain relationships with certain people. However, people remain willfully blinded by their hope and their attraction. The truth is Mick was right: you can't always get what you want.

"Great was the darkness of that night and its horror, and demons would appear on that night always."Oíche shamhna shona daoibh go léir! Happy Hallowe'en! To accompany you on any trick or treating or early morning/late night wakenings this weekend we bring you our spooky Samhain special! Dr Hannah Mac Auliffe, Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Maynooth University, explains how the festival of Samhain appears in medieval Irish literature as a time for feasting and merriment, with the High King's Feast of Tara taking place on Halloween in several medieval stories. And just as we gather together and tell stories of demons and ghouls each October 31st, so too did the people of medieval Ireland. We hear of everything from zombies, threefold deaths and beheadings to werewolves, witches and kidnappings by the fairy armies of the sídhe.

Israel Seeks Reliable Multinational Force to Prevent Hamas Resurgence in Gaza. David Daoud discusses Israel's primary concern regarding a multinational force in Gaza: ensuring its reliability to prevent Hamas's resurgence or rearmament. Hamas is reasserting control and slow-rolling the recovery of remaining hostages' bodies to establish the ceasefire. US drones monitor adherence to the ceasefire. Israel has ended the emergency status in the south, signaling a slow return to normal life. 1939 RAMALLAH

What if the key to scaling to $250 million wasn't working harder, but working less? In this episode, George Rivera, founder of multiple 7- and 8-figure businesses and creator of the Buy Back Time Formula™, shares his 30-year entrepreneurial journey from a high school supplement business to a $250 million empire. Through the devastating loss of his father to cancer and the life-changing deathbed wisdom "don't miss Leo's games, I missed too many of yours," George discovered that the path to freedom wasn't grinding 100-hour weeks but systematically buying back his time. His mission? Helping entrepreneurs escape the "job with overhead" trap so they can scale their businesses while being present for the moments that matter most with their families. George reflects on how his father's final words arrived at exactly the right moment to transform his entire approach to business, and why buying back your time isn't just about making more money but about reclaiming your life before it's too late.   [00:04:19] The 30-Year Journey Begins Started first business in 1995 at age 17-18 while still in high school Fell for Don Lapre's late-night infomercial (tiny apartment, classified ads, rags to riches) Bought the course, took action, made zero dollars, but the entrepreneur seed was planted Parents thought it was a scam, but George kept pursuing home-based business opportunities [00:05:22] The First Real Business: Supplements & The Internet Summer 1995: Started supplement business after seeing space ads in small business magazines Connected two trends: GNC's explosive growth + the internet's rising adoption First online business launched, didn't go well initially 2-3 years into college: Making as much as doctors while studying pre-med [00:06:46] The Weight Loss Empire & Early Lessons Dominated the keyword "weight loss" on GoTo.com for just 50 cents per click Built and eventually ran the first business into the ground, couldn't keep up with orders Lesson #1: Take your time, build infrastructure so you can scale appropriately Built Google AdSense business to seven figures by 2005-2006 [00:08:31] The Digital Marketing Agency Started agency helping clients with BSLs and one-click upsells in their infancy He was the bottleneck, quality controlling everything, no proper org chart Built a job with overhead, not a business [00:10:44] The $250 Million Supplement Company 10 years ago: Started supplement company with $5,000 seed money But George was working 100+ hours per week, burning midnight oil constantly Would pass out at his desk or stumble into bed, wake up 3-4 hours later and repeat "I was like a zombie for a good stretch of a couple of years" Money was great, but life was not enjoyable [00:14:21] The Buy Back Time Formula Birth Around 2018-2019: Applied systematic approach to buy back his time Removed himself as the bottleneck Implemented proper SOPs, documentation, training, and later AI Income went UP because he was no longer the bottleneck Bought back dozens of hours per week [00:16:41] Living the Freedom Lifestyle Friends noticed: "You're in Germany driving the Nürburgring, business still running, how?" 6-7 different people asked him to teach this Held workshop at his home to test if the marketplace wanted it Amazing response—decided to package it officially as Buy Back Time Formula [00:18:05] The Father-Son Story That Changed Everything The pivotal relationship that transformed George's entire approach 2015: George's father diagnosed with cancer in February Six months later, he was gone. "That's just how fast cancer can take you" Dad broke the news when George had just adopted his newborn son Leo George spent every day with his dad, driving 1.5 hours each way [00:20:18] The Deathbed Wisdom The million-dollar moment that changed everything Father's last words: "Don't miss Leo's games. I missed too many of yours." Hit George "like a ton of bricks" Brought closure—his dad acknowledged missing George's childhood games George realized: "I'm on pace to replicate the same mistake" [00:22:03] What Really Matters at the End Father never said on his deathbed: "I wish I'd seen one more patient" Never: "I wish I'd closed one more property" (he was in real estate too) Never: "I wish I'd taken that client call or upsold them" Only: "Are the people I love around me? I just need them right now" [00:22:52] Training Your Replacement Need focused attention on him or he'll get influence from somewhere else 2015-2018: George knew he had the problem but didn't have the solution yet It took 3 years for the solution to birth itself into something actionable [00:31:37] The 100-Hour Grind Reality Was working 80-100+ hours per week Weekends meant LESS interruptions, so worked even HARDER Wasn't healthy for mind, wasn't healthy for family Not a sustainable long-term strategy [00:32:33] Life After Buying Back Time Real freedom looks like: Now works 20-30 hours per week when in creation mode Can work as little as 5 hours per week when traveling Can turn phone off and check back tomorrow, nothing falls apart If something breaks, team handles it without him [00:33:08] God's Purpose Realized "I just feel like it's God's purpose of putting me on the planet to help share this" Secondary benefit: Make more money and nice lifestyle Primary benefit: Being with family for the moments that matter Non-negotiable: Not missing games, graduations, or special moments [00:35:42] Northern Michigan & Homeschool Freedom Bought property in Northern Michigan, turned it into successful Airbnb Teaching son how to negotiate real estate deals and assess properties Son is homeschooled, gets to tag along on their adventures Ultimate flexibility: "We're studying the Washington Monument this week. Let's go see it tomorrow" [00:37:20] The Buy Back Time Formula Available at buybacktimeformula.com Everyone's unique—different reasons for wanting to buy back time Some love working but need to cast vision instead of being in the weeds Focus on high-dollar things that move the needle Structure and confidence from someone who's been at it for 30 years KEY QUOTES "I was like a zombie for a good stretch of a couple of years. Money was great, income was great, but life was not enjoyable." - George Rivera "It's never too late to say, 'Hey, this needs to change 'cause I've already missed moments I'll never get back, but at least I did something about it.' The longer you wait, those missed moments rack up. We wanna be the one that experiences those moments. Not miss 'em." - George Rivera "I was inundated and I didn't know how to properly remove myself as being the bottleneck on a lot of things." - George Rivera CONNECT WITH GEORGE RIVERA

Rosemary Wixom is with us again! Through her example, personal experiences, and interactions with others, Sister Wixom shows us that when we prioritize our time in the temple, even when time seems like the only thing we don't have enough of in our lives, the blessings are immeasurable. She shares how she learned the truth of this promise from President Nelson: "The Lord will bring the miracles He knows you need as you make sacrifices to serve and worship in His temples." This episode is one that leaves us inspired and feeling emboldened to spend more time in the temple, either as regular temple workers or through more frequent temple worship. Rosemary and her husband served as temple president and matron of the Salt Lake Temple before it closed for renovations. Many of us also recognize her from her time serving as Primary general president. She also served on the Church's Temple and Family History Executive Council. And, fun fact, she has a twin sister!

China Dominates Ukraine's Drone Supply Chain Despite Export Controls. Jack Burnham discusses how Ukraine's survival relies on its ability to produce up to 200,000 FPV drones monthly. However, 97% of Ukrainian drone producers source primary components, including rare earths for engines and chips, from China. Despite China imposing export controls on finished drones, smaller components are circumvented and supplied to both Ukraine and Russia. Finding alternative, self-reliant supply chains, potentially through US allies like Taiwan, is crucial for Kyiv. 1917 ODESSA CIRCUS

7. Targeting and Tragedy: The Death of Jennifer Matthews and the Courier Hunt Liza Mundy Book: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA In the post-9/11 era, finding bin Laden became the CIA's primary targeting task. Jennifer Matthews, a dedicated member of Alec Station since the mid-1990s, was chief of station at Khost, Afghanistan, providing targeting information for drone attacks. In 2009, Matthews and several other CIA officers were tragically killed when a source they believed would lead them to bin Laden revealed himself to be a suicide bomber (sent directly from bin Laden). This galvanized the hunt. Since bin Laden avoided 21st-century technology, targeters like Rachel and Maya (pseudonyms) had to develop methods to trace him indirectly. This involved sifting old data, using new technology, and tracing the human relationships of his couriers—the people who used technology and communicated with the inner circle. They ultimately identified Ibrahim Saeed Ahmed, bin Laden's courier and bodyguard, and began tracking his movements.
