In this episode, we kick things off in Washington, where a Texas congressman has introduced sweeping legislation aimed at overhauling trucking safety and cross-border enforcement. Named after eight-year-old Barron Ritchey, who was tragically killed when a wheel assembly struck his family's vehicle, the bill would require mandatory English-proficiency tests for all commercial drivers and impose fines of up to $100,000 per vehicle per day on foreign carriers caught illegally hauling domestic freight. The legislation also targets chameleon carriers and would establish a pilot program using GPS and geofencing technology to identify foreign-domiciled carriers suspected of cabotage violations. Next, we explore a bizarre cargo crime story out of California that took a remarkably unexpected turn. When thieves stole two PlusAI trailers bearing NVIDIA branding from the company's Fremont warehouse, they expected high-value autonomous trucking technology but instead found 40,000 pounds of sand used for simulated loads during manual testing. In a stroke of luck, both trailers were discovered just hours later outside a Newark office, abandoned with all the sand still intact after the disappointed thieves opened the back doors and found nothing worth stealing. Finally, we examine how the massive nearshoring boom is running into serious operational headwinds at the U.S.-Mexico border. Industry executives warn that a shrinking pool of cross-border drivers, tougher customs enforcement, and increasingly sophisticated cargo theft are making cross-border freight movements more difficult and expensive. Cargo theft in Mexico's key Bajío manufacturing region has surged eleven percent year-over-year, with criminal organizations now deploying GPS jammers, inside information, and violent tactics that render basic tracking systems inadequate for freight security.

I just got back from emceeing Rock the Locks over the weekend — honestly a total rocket ship (and yes, I proposed to Alisa backstage and she said yes) — and we kick this midweek Punch List off with that high-energy recap before diving into the real stuff. We dig into fresh housing data: mortgage rates have crept back above 7% (Freddie Mac ~7.03%, Bankrate ~7.33%), existing-home sales hit a 2026 low, and Redfin says there were about 57.9% more sellers than buyers in August — the most lopsided market on record. That imbalance means tons of price cuts (Denver hit 31.4% of listings with cuts; Portland about 30.5%), builders are even buying down interest rates by a couple points in some markets to compete, and remodeling activity is stalling as homeowners hold off on big projects. We also run a hard-hitting recalls roundup — from online mattresses failing flammability rules to smart glasses that can overheat, reclining-chair battery packs sold on Amazon, heated blankets, infrared saunas that can short and overheat, pool heaters risking carbon monoxide, and more — so if you've got any of that gear, please go check it. Bottom line: great music and good vibes at the festival, but the housing market's getting messy and your stuff might be a recall away from drama — we walk you through what to watch and what to do next, plus I sneak in a teaser for our weekend show and the new YouTube reviews (generator and one-person grill tested at the fest).Takeaways:I emceed Rock the Locks last weekend, proposed to Alisa backstage, and honestly couldn't stop smiling — it was an epic, music-fueled highlight that reminded me why live events matter.We're seeing mortgage rates around seven percent (and sometimes higher), which is squeezing buyers, cooling sales, and making now a real window for renters with savings to pounce.I dug into Redfin's August data — about 57.9% more sellers than buyers nationally — and that lopsided inventory gives buyers real leverage in many markets.We're watching builders buy down interest by as much as two points, so new construction with lower rates and big warranties is outcompeting comparable existing homes right now.We ran the recall scoreboard on the show — everything from tens of thousands of flammable online mattresses to overheating smart glasses and saunas — so please check cpsc.gov and double-check what you bought.I'm seeing remodeling stall and contractors reporting record cancellations, meaning homeowners are favoring repairs over big projects and planning more cautiously this cycle.Links referenced in this episode:cpsc.govThanks for listening to Around the house if you want to hear more please subscribe so you get notified of the latest episode as it posts at https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/listenIf you want to join the Around the House Insider for access to the back catalog, Exclusive Content and a direct email to Eric G and access to the show early https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/support We love comments and we would love reviews on how this information has helped you on your house!

The federal government recently flagged a new criminal offence for failing to prevent modern slavery in supply chains. Here, a BigLaw partner discusses what the proposed laws mean for businesses, boards, and legal teams, and what they say about the broader climate. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Corrs Chambers Westgarth responsible business and ESG partner Kate Gill-Herdman about why legal work in ESG and modern slavery is so interesting right now, how and why the proposed new laws have come about, the implications for relevant stakeholders, the shift from reporting obligations to criminal liability, the flagged "reasonable steps" defence, how boards, GCs, and in-house teams can respond, best practice for lawyers advising clients, and the steps that must be taken moving forward.
Many Americans are losing faith in elections. Proposed solutions from across the political spectrum to restore faith in the process — early voting, mail-in ballot restrictions and voter ID laws — seem to have the opposite effect.But lack of trust in elections is a symptom of a broader problem: America is living through an era of democratic dissatisfaction. That's what the New York University law professor Richard Pildes argues on this episode of “Interesting Times.” He and the guest host, Sarah Isgur, the editor of SCOTUSblog, discuss why Americans are so worried about the midterms and how to fix our electoral system and restore trust.00:00 Existential Election Anxiety02:38 Era of Democratic Dissatisfaction04:21 Were Recent Election Reforms a Mistake?06:09 Campaign Finance Reform09:22 SCOTUS and Trump's Mail-In Ballot Executive Order13:57 Why Did Trump Target Absentee Ballots?20:32 Should There Be a National Voter Database?23:58 Proof Of Citizenship Debate29:48 What Should SCOTUS Do?35:47 Partisan Manipulation in Elections42:24 Can the Midterms Be Stolen?44:51 Closing Thoughts(A full transcript of this episode is available on the Times website.)Thoughts?

Proposed amendments require a minimum of 60% voter support to pass.
Dylan Goforth: Before anyone was talking about Google or a data center, what exactly did the family — and tell us a little bit about the family there who signed that conservation easement — but what did they agree to when they signed it with Land Legacy, and what did Land Legacy receive in return?Michael Patton: What Land Legacy does is conservation easements, and that puts restrictions on land forever and ever. And people can do it a variety of ways. They can donate them to us. They can sell them to us if we have a buyer for those. But it protects land forever. It's a green space that forever and ever Land Legacy will put those restrictions and fight them in court.So in 2013, the Ringel family decided on their family ranch they would put these restrictions, and it's a unique easement. And they put a circle around the entire property. All the stuff near the highway was the easement, plus a big spot in the middle. So 270 acres of their 835 acres were restricted, and they all signed an agreement. Everybody in the family signed it and notarized it that they would follow these restrictions.And the restrictions are fairly simple: no industrial park, no access, no roads, no buildings. We do that all the time. We have 18 of these in Osage County, Oklahoma alone, and we have 130 of these around the state, around 30,000 acres.A family would do this for the tax benefits. So, in 2013, the Ringel family made a non-cash donation to Land Legacy, $3.822 million, that they were able to use as a tax write-off, as a deduction off their income. So that was 13 years ago. Now suddenly they just feel they can break the rules.So without our knowledge, they went to the city of Sand Springs, got it annexed. I heard about it after, when they started to get rezoned, and it's restricted. So we have filed a lawsuit against the Ringel family, who have now sold those rights to Google. So now we've amended our lawsuit to also against two developers and the Google people.So we have restrictions on the land. We are going to win in court. Every lawyer tells me they can't do this project, and they just thought they would lie about it.Goforth: We're talking about a lot of land and a lot of development. What I was wondering, like you said, the easement protects roughly, I think you said 270 acres, is that right? But it doesn't prevent development elsewhere on the property.Patton: No, it does not.Goforth: So how do those things interact? You know what I mean? Is the development touching these 270 acres?Patton: Yes. In fact, the Ringel family has tried to change the easement boundaries to make the Google plant fit, but no, we have an entire circle around it. It's a ring around the property that you can't cross. No roads can cross that. So even if they could build something in the middle, they couldn't get to it because there's an easement prohibiting a road.And the main part of it is there's a big swath of it that's two beautiful Osage hills and a ravine between them that they plan to blow up and flatten to make the Google plant fit. So they took that part of the easement on their own and said, "Oh, we're just going to move this and put some other land way over here and give that to Land Legacy."So they don't have the right to change legal boundaries. You don't have the right to change your neighbor's fence on your own and file these things. So I think that will also be thrown out.So they've been telling people and telling Google, "Oh, we can fit it now because we changed the easement," and they can't unilaterally change the easement.And this will be dramatic changes to Osage County. They're going to have to flatten, dynamite these two hills, and fill the ravine. And this is the start of Turkey Creek. I just can't imagine the amount of environmental damage that's going to happen from this. There's much higher conservation value protecting those hills and that ravine than there is just some pastureland over on the side that they want to swap out.Goforth: Now I know that you appeared before the Sand Springs Planning Commission earlier this year, and correct me if I'm wrong, but you told them there that Land Legacy had rights involving this property. Can you tell us a little bit about that meeting and what you told the Planning Commission? Maybe what they said in return, and sort of where all that stands now.Patton: Yeah, I literally was not notified by state law. The annexation is still being fought by a separate group, but they have to annex.We are a property rights — this is not an anti-data center argument. It's a property rights issue, and property rights are part of the bundle of rights you have when you own property. You may own mineral rights or water rights, and development rights can be donated to a nonprofit.The mineral rights is owned by Osage County or Osage Tribe. They own all the mineral rights in the county, so it's a whole separate issue from us.But yeah, I literally did not know about this. They'd already annexed it. Suddenly had rezoning, and no one notified us. And then at the Sand Springs Christmas Parade, someone said, "Oh, this is Michael's Land Legacy stuff." So I heard about it quickly, instantly showed up. They'd already filed the papers for rezoning.I went to the Planning Commission and said, "You can't do this. I have an easement. Please step back from this." And they ignored me.Then I said, "You have this easement, and you should have found it." Their attorney, the developer's attorney, which is a very famous Tulsa attorney, Lou Reynolds, admitted in writing, "Whoops! I never did a title search."This easement was so easy to find. Any person who looked at anything would have found this. The developer never looked for a title search, and then so did the city of Sand Springs. They also failed to look for this, so they went ahead and did all these things they can't legally do without notifying us.And so I said that at the planning meeting, and then I said that for the City Council meeting afterward for rezoning. I handed them a piece of paper, date-stamped, that said, "This is the easement. This is not legal to do this. You can't."And they simply asked the developer's attorney, who said, "Oh, it's no big deal," and slowly passed it. It was really flying in my face just to say, "Wow! Even though I've shown you the evidence, you ignore us."And I think that's one of the issues on this, is that people think this is no big deal, yet the courts, I believe, will say otherwise.Goforth: Right. Let's talk about the court a little bit because there was a recent-ish ruling, I guess, from Judge Burl Estes about some of the central claims against the Ringels and against this development. Can you tell us what that ruling actually was, and maybe what still has to be proven before Land Legacy could prevent the development of this property?Patton: Yeah. So on May 11th, we filed a lawsuit on May 23rd against the Ringel development, the Ringel family. On May 11th, they filed a motion to dismiss.So it took four months for the judge to decide, but he came out on September 2nd with a ruling denying the motion to dismiss. It was a declaratory judgment. He said it's inappropriately resolved through this process. There are significant issues here that renders dismissal inappropriate.Fairly strong language to say to the Ringels, no, this will go forward to court. That's quite a victory for us. I was concerned. Even though everyone tells me I have a great case on this, you don't know in the court's case, and then there is some ambiguity once you try to falsify documents, and I just didn't know.So I was very pleased the judge said there's plenty more to go here and go forward. So it was pretty much a rebuke, and a motion to dismiss was denied by Judge Justice.

Looking back on 2026, arguably the biggest story in Utah will be the pushback to data center expansions. From Box Elder County to Mona and down south to Iron County, communities across the state have been voicing a lot of concerns with these plans. And the data backs it up -- new polling just out from the Deseret News and Hinckley Institute of Politics finds that a majority of Americans -- and even more so, Utahns -- don't want these data centers in their community. For more on that, Deseret News reporter Leah Bowers joins Inside Sources to explain.

Real Estate Investor Dad Podcast ( Investing / Investment in Canada )
A $13 Billion Meta Data Centre Is Coming Near Edmonton. What Does It Mean for Real Estate? A massive new technology investment is putting Alberta back in the national spotlight. Meta is developing its first Canadian data centre in Sturgeon County, just north of Edmonton, with an estimated investment of approximately $13 billion. But for real estate investors, the important question is not simply: "How big is the project?" It is: "What will this actually do to housing, rents, jobs and property values?" On today's Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show, Wayne and Gabby look at both sides of the story. Could large-scale data centres create new construction activity, jobs and economic growth around Edmonton? Absolutely. Does that mean investors should immediately start buying houses beside them? Not necessarily. Today's episode also covers another developing story out of Ontario, where investors connected to the Simple Investor property-management model were reportedly told that rental payments were being delayed while the company dealt with market and liquidity challenges. The two stories may seem completely different, but they reinforce the same lesson: Understand what you are investing in and never replace fundamentals with excitement. Ontario Investors Face Delayed Payments Wayne and Gabby begin with reports involving Simple Investor and its affiliated property-management operation. According to the report discussed on the show, some investors who owned properties through the model were told that rental payments were being delayed because of market and liquidity challenges. One investor reportedly owned six properties and had relied on the rental payments to service mortgages. That raises a question Wayne repeatedly comes back to: Where is the rent actually going? If a tenant pays rent to a property-management company, the owner should understand: Where the money is held How management fees are deducted When the remaining rent is transferred Whether funds are segregated Who controls the accounts What happens if the management company experiences financial trouble Wayne's concern is not about making conclusions regarding what occurred in this particular situation without all the facts. It is about investors understanding the structure they are putting their money into. Hands-Off Investing Still Has Risk One of the attractions of these types of investments is that they can appear extremely simple. Buy the unit. Let somebody else manage everything. Collect the payment. But handing control to another company does not eliminate risk. It transfers some of that control to somebody else. Wayne explains why one of the reasons he originally chose real estate was the ability to control more of the investment himself. If something goes wrong with his property, tenant, financing or expenses, he can respond directly. The more layers added between the investor and the asset, the more important due diligence becomes. Then Comes Alberta's Data-Centre Boom The second half of today's episode shifts to a very different story. Meta is building a massive data centre in Sturgeon County, north of Edmonton. The development represents approximately: $13 billion in investment. Alberta is also attracting interest from numerous other data-centre developers. Why Alberta? Several factors make the province attractive: Large amounts of available land Natural gas and electricity infrastructure Energy-industry expertise Cold temperatures that can reduce cooling requirements A business environment actively pursuing major investment For Alberta, this could become a significant new industry. More Than 100 Projects Have Been Proposed There has been enormous interest in building data centres across Alberta. But Wayne stresses an important distinction: Proposed does not mean built. A hundred proposals do not equal a hundred completed projects. Investors need to separate: Announcements from Approvals from Construction from Completed operating facilities. Meta's project is significant because it has moved beyond being simply an idea. What Could This Mean for Edmonton Real Estate? A project of this size can create economic activity. Construction workers need somewhere to live. Contractors need services. Suppliers expand. Companies supporting the project may establish local operations. Infrastructure investment follows. All of those things can support an economy. But Wayne cautions against immediately converting an economic announcement into a real-estate prediction. A $13-billion project does not automatically mean: Rents will explode. Property values will skyrocket. Every nearby neighbourhood becomes a great investment. You still have to analyze the actual property. Don't Invest Based on the Headline Wayne's investment philosophy is straightforward. He does not want to buy a property because he hopes Meta causes it to appreciate. He wants to buy a property that already works. That means analyzing: Purchase price Market rent Expenses Financing Vacancy Tenant demand Cash flow If the property makes money today, future economic growth becomes upside. If the investment only works because you are hoping a massive technology project pushes its value higher, you are speculating. The Business Inside the Building Wayne describes a rental property as two things. There is the asset, the physical property. Then there is the business operating inside it. The investor has much more control over the business. You can control: The property you purchase. The tenant profile you target. The quality of the rental. The neighbourhood. The number of bedrooms. The rent. The expenses. The management. You cannot control whether buyers decide to pay more for the property five years from now. That is why Wayne builds his investment strategy around operating profitability first. Should You Buy Beside a Data Centre? This is where the conversation becomes more complicated. Data centres can create employment and economic activity. But being directly beside one may not necessarily be desirable. Communities in parts of the United States have raised concerns about: Constant cooling-fan noise Electricity demand Water use Construction activity Industrial traffic Visual impact The long-term effect depends heavily on the type of facility and where it is located. In the case of Meta's Sturgeon County development, the site is within Alberta's Industrial Heartland rather than being dropped into the middle of an established Edmonton residential neighbourhood. Still, investors should understand both the positive and negative possibilities before buying nearby. Buyer Perception Matters Gabby raises an important point. Even if somebody cannot prove that living near a data centre is harmful, potential buyers may still decide they do not want to live there. That matters. Real estate values are ultimately influenced by supply and demand. If enough buyers avoid a location because they perceive it negatively, that perception itself can affect demand. Investors therefore need to understand not only the physical impact of a project but how the public is likely to react to it. What About Electricity Costs? Large data centres require enormous amounts of electricity. Capital Power has agreed to initially supply 250 megawatts to Meta's Sturgeon County facility. Wayne discusses the possibility that major power demand could have broader effects on electricity infrastructure and costs. The ultimate impact remains uncertain and will depend on how Alberta expands generation and transmission capacity. For landlords who include utilities in rent, any major change in electricity costs matters because higher operating expenses directly reduce cash flow. Jobs Matter, But What Kind of Jobs? Another important question is what happens after construction is finished. A project of this scale can employ thousands during development. But permanent operations may require significantly fewer employees. That means investors should distinguish between: temporary construction employment and long-term permanent employment. A three-year construction boom can create short-term rental demand. Long-term real estate fundamentals depend much more heavily on lasting employment and population growth. Wayne Is Still Buying Edmonton Wayne's conclusion is not that data centres are good or bad for Edmonton real estate. There is still too much uncertainty for that. What he does know is that he is not buying Edmonton property because Meta is coming. He is buying Edmonton property because he can currently find investments that: Cash flow Produce strong returns Attract good tenants Work without depending on appreciation If the data-centre boom strengthens Edmonton's economy over the next decade, that becomes additional upside. But the investment needs to work without it. REI Masters Mentorship Want direct help building your real estate investment strategy?

In this episode of Inside Employment, Tony Wood, Natalie Gaspar and Lucy Boyd unpack the Federal Government's proposed reforms to non-compete and restraint of trade laws, recently released in exposure draft form. The proposed changes would significantly reshape the use and enforceability of non-compete and non-solicitation clauses across Australia. Tony, Natalie and Lucy discuss the key elements of the proposed reforms, including the ban on non-competes for employees below the high-income threshold, the prohibition on employee non-solicitation clauses, the new enforcement framework for higher income earners, and what the changes could mean for employers and workforce mobility. With consultation now underway, this episode provides a timely overview of one of the most significant proposed changes to Australian employment law in recent years.

For years, Independent Jewish Voices Canada alongside the Global Justice Coalition and Palestinian groups have been organizing for meaningful sanctions on Israel and its illegal settlements. On September 8, that pressure helped bring about an important development, as Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and nine other nations announced trade restrictions and sanctions targeting illegal settlements in the West Bank. We speak with Corey Balsam, National Coordinator of IJV Canada.
The Greens say only people - not companies or organisations - should donate to political parties. The party has launched two bills aiming to cap donations at $30,000 over a three-year cycle and confine donations to individuals. It would also require a two year stand-down period before Ministers can become lobbyists, to stop what's often described as a 'revolving door'. Co-leader Marama Davidson says the party wants a register of lobbyists, including unions and environmental organisations. "Our democracy should work for everyone, not just for the wealthy few.

In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss the latest push to pass the Protect College Sports Act, the Senate vote count behind the legislation, and what happens next if the bill clears the Senate. They examine proposed rules involving coaching recruitment and athlete eligibility, discuss support from figures such as Matthew McConaughey and Deion Sanders, and analyze broader political stories involving Democratic candidates, media coverage, and ideological shifts within higher education. The episode concludes with a discussion of political donations among university faculty and what the hosts argue that trend says about the modern political landscape. The bipartisan Protect College Sports Act is headed toward a major Senate vote, with supporters arguing it could reshape the future of college athletics through national standards for NIL, athlete benefits, and coaching rules. As momentum builds, the debate is expanding well beyond Washington and onto college campuses, athletic programs, and fan bases across the country. Fresh off a high-profile college football weekend, the conversation turns to how changes in college sports have created pressure for federal action. The episode also explores the growing support behind the legislation from conferences, universities, the NCAA, and prominent figures in the sports world. Topics Covered: Senate momentum behind the Protect College Sports Act and the path to House consideration Proposed national standards for NIL, athlete benefits, and college sports governance Coaching recruitment rules and the hosts’ discussion of Lane Kiffin’s role in shaping proposed reforms Support for the legislation from the NCAA, major conferences, universities, and advocates including Matthew McConaughey Debate over Abdul Al-Sayed, Hassan Piker, and Democratic Party politics Discussion of faculty political donations at Princeton University and ideological diversity in higher education Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

The latest public opinion survey shows generally strong support amongst voters for a trio of proposed constitutional amendments that will appear on the North Carolina ballot this fall that address incomes taxes, property taxes and voter photo ID. However, Alexandra Sirota, the executive director of the nonprofit North Carolina Budget and Tax Center, says while all three amendments may sound superficially appealing, when one digs below the surface, it quickly becomes apparent that each one will likely have long lasting and deeply problematic impacts while providing few if any real benefits to average North Carolinians.

In hour 1 of The Mark Reardon Show with Ryan Wrecker guest hosting, Ryan is joined by Jeff Mordock, White House correspondent for the Washington Times, to discuss the details surrounding recent White House press pool access restrictions and how credentialing policies compare to past administrations. Mordock also provides analysis on the upcoming summit between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping and the broader international implications of artificial intelligence development. Ryan is then joined by Brad Young, 97.1 FM Talk chief legal analyst and partner at Harris, Young, and Kaiser, to discuss the major legal headlines of the day. Young analyzes the First Amendment lawsuits filed by media outlets banned from White House press events, evaluates the legal implications surrounding Missouri's congressional redistricting map disputes, and reflects on the Lindsay Clancy murder trial and the role of holdout jurors in the American justice system.

Parents are being told by National's education spokesperson, they should understand screen time isn't best practice for young kids. If re-elected, the party would end screen and individual-device use in early childhood centres and tightly limit it for kids in Years 1 to 3. It would also introduce a School Start Check before children begin primary school. Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking there's a need for clear and consistent restrictions on device use across the country. She says handwriting, using paper, and having interactions are so much more important than using screens. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
President Donald Trump claimed Friday afternoon that he is “banning” CNN, MS NOW and Politico “from the White House.” He said it was “effective immediately,” but there was no indication his administration had taken steps to follow through.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 9-17-2026: Dr. Dawn opens with a primer on kidney function: their embryonic origin adjacent to the gonads, their central role in blood pressure regulation (retaining fluid in hemorrhage but paradoxically worsening heart failure), erythropoietin production (both an athletic doping agent and a mechanism by which severe sleep apnea can cause stroke-risk polycythemia), acid-base balance via bicarbonate, and nitrogen waste removal including uric acid. The U.S. waiting list holds 95,492 people needing kidney transplants—88% of all organ waitlist patients—against only 27,500 annual donations, with 12-13 people dying daily on the list. Dr. Dawn walks through a Wired magazine analysis of paid donation, noting Iran is the only country with a legal regulated kidney market (Iranian citizens only, with a waiting list of donors and compensation around two months of median income). She frames the ethical debate: current U.S. altruistic donation implicitly rewards those with money and social networks who can afford time off, while poorer populations bear disproportionate end-stage renal disease burden. Proposed compensation alternatives include lifetime congressional-quality health insurance, student loan forgiveness, six-month waiting periods for informed consent, and 20-year payout structures. Donation mortality risk is comparable to childbirth—several-fold lower than logging. Tim Andrews became the first patient to receive a genetically modified pig kidney as a bridge to human transplant, sustaining him 271 days until a human kidney became available (the pig kidney ultimately lost to pyelonephritis, not rejection). eGenesis used CRISPR to delete three highly antigenic pig genes—GGTA1 (which produces alpha-gal, the tick-transmitted meat allergy trigger), CMAH, and one other—along with porcine endogenous retroviruses, and added seven human genes for coagulation compatibility and anti-inflammation. Dr. Dawn notes the animal welfare implications of farming 50,000 modified pigs annually and unknown long-term graft survival. An emailer asks about direct-to-consumer full-body MRI screening. Dr. Dawn explains MRI's advantages (no ionizing radiation, no kidney-toxic contrast) but emphasizes false positive harms: indeterminate findings that require invasive follow-up biopsies for lesions unlikely to be lethal, and the psychological burden of "ghost" diagnoses. Whole-body MRI also poorly evaluates lungs, intestines, and breasts (different scan parameters required). She recommends full-body MRI only for high-risk cancer predisposition syndromes like Lynch syndrome, BRCA 1/2, and Li-Fraumeni. Dr. Dawn debunks the "seed" model of probiotic capsules: strains taken for six months typically disappear from the gut within a month of stopping. Much of probiotic benefit comes from dead bacteria—autoclaved cell walls remain biologically active with antibacterial effects. Her clinical protocol uses 200-300 billion CFU four times daily to treat traveler's diarrhea, avoiding Cipro's tendon toxicity. For antibiotic-associated C. difficile prevention, Saccharomyces boulardii plus Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus have double-blind placebo-controlled support when taken between antibiotic doses and for a week afterward. A caller with type 2 diabetes describes suspected treatment-induced neuropathy following rapid A1c reduction from 10.2 to a GMI of 5.8. She has burning, electric tingling, and unexplained deep muscle-soreness sensations, mostly proximal in the left leg with recent right-leg involvement, and pregabalin isn't helping. Dr. Dawn distinguishes small-fiber neuropathy (temperature-related, patchy, requires skin biopsy for diagnosis—EMG and nerve conduction won't show it) from large-fiber neuropathy (symmetric, ascending from toes). The proximal top-down distribution suggests small-fiber involvement. She recommends functional-medicine adjuncts: methylated B12 2,000 mcg, methylated folate 2,000 mcg, and alpha-lipoic acid 300 mg twice daily for three months. She also recommends a provoked heavy-metals urine test to rule out copper or other neurotoxic exposure. Dr. Dawn closes with the fiber recommendation of 14 grams per 1,000 calories (correcting an earlier misstatement of 14g total per day) and emphasizes that a diverse plant-based diet—fruits, vegetables, root vegetables, beans, nuts—does more for microbiome health than any capsule.
Joe McNamara sits in for Elliot Berman this week alongside John Byrne. Joe and John discuss the Senate vote that failed to advance the Clarity Act, the interagency proposal to rescind and replace third-party risk management guidance, and the CJEU ruling on Latvia's public shareholder disclosure law and what it signals for beneficial ownership transparency. They also cover the DOJ indictment of a Russian intelligence services network, the Manhattan DA's seizure of 12 deepfake websites and the payment infrastructure behind them, Transparency International's analysis of seven years of EU rule of law reporting, and OFAC's designation of VTB Bank under Operation Economic Outcast. They close with CSIS's look at the terrorism landscape 25 years after 9/11, the shift toward lone actor threats, and the underused potential of 314(a) and 314(b) information sharing.

President Trump has proposed cutting the funding for cleaning up the radioactive waste at Hanford by $400 million, and the House Appropriations Committee proposed even bigger cuts. Washington’s senior U.S. Senator Patty Murray long fought for “a budget that lives up to the federal government’s moral and legal obligation” to clean up decades of highly radioactive waste. Although Hanford got a record $3.2 billion for the current fiscal year, the Washington State Ecology Department said the actual amount needed to fully fund the cleanup is $6.15 billion, and that $6.76 billion will be needed for 2027. We talk with Murray about Hanford and how Congressional budget negotiations are going.

Has F1 2026 Delivered on Its Promise? Soumil and Kunal examine why Formula One's 2026 season feels underwhelming despite major storylines, including Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari, a potential youngest-ever champion, and struggling world champions. They debate whether the problem lies with the technical regulations, battery management, governance structure, or the sport's changing identity. In this episode: - Why a season packed with headline stories can still feel dry to established F1 fans. - How the 50-50 electric and combustion power-unit split has created battery conservation and “super clipping” problems. - Why drivers can no longer consistently drive flat out, and why that may matter more than the exact electric-to-combustion ratio. - The blame game between drivers, the FIA, manufacturers, team bosses, and Formula One's commercial rights holders. - How teams gained influence over the regulations through the Concorde Agreement after previous attempts at unilateral rule changes. - Why the FIA can influence the grid's size but does not have equivalent political power to rewrite the technical formula. - Whether independent teams could run a breakaway championship, and why the Formula One brand remains difficult to replicate outside the FIA umbrella. - The tension between traditional fans focused on racing and engineering and newer fans drawn to fashion, travel, lifestyle, and storytelling. - Proposed incremental fixes, including a 60-40 power split from 2028 and possible budget-cap changes to support new chassis and larger fuel capacity. - Why Soumil and Kunal argue that fans should remain patient while the sport tries to correct the current direction.
