Update tackles fresh media spin on the chairman of the Joint Chiefs supposedly wavering on potential Iran action—prompting President Trump to set the record straight—while the latest Mar-a-Lago security breach draws a characteristically candid response from the president.

Amid boycotts of tonight's State of the Union, falling mortgage rates spark mixed economic signals, Chinese firms face accusations of stealing U.S. AI tech secrets, and Robert De Niro's sudden call for unity rings hollow given his past rhetoric.

In this Crypto Town Hall episode, host Scott announces the show is shifting to Monday/Wednesday/Friday due to bandwidth and redundant discussions in the current down market. The panel explores Bitcoin's sideways grind near $66K amid extreme fear, macro uncertainty from the Supreme Court striking down Trump's tariffs (with his defiant response and looming legal battles), Iran tensions, and Bitcoin's risk-asset behavior rather than digital gold status. Guests debate the low odds of the Clarity Act passing, banks' pushback on stablecoin yield, stablecoins' inevitable disruption of finance, AI agents' future payments, and long-term optimism—viewing the drawdown as a buying opportunity while altcoins face ongoing pain.

In this special bonus episode, host Miriam Conner, sits down with Northeast Ohio 11th grader Alyssa Maniar, who is raising money for Blood Cancer United. Alyssa shares her personal connection to blood cancer and why this cause is so meaningful to her. Driven, compassionate, and determined to make a difference, she's using her time and energy to support others and raise awareness in her community. This is an inspiring conversation about purpose, leadership and turning personal passion into action.

In this week's episode of High on Home Grown, we're covering a mix of tribute, progress, education, and important new research: Macky begins with a tribute to Dr. Elaine Ingham, a pioneer in soil biology whose work has influenced growers around the world. A huge loss to the living soil community and a legacy that will continue to shape natural growing for years to come. He also shares the story of a medical cannabis patient who has won a two-year legal battle after being wrongfully convicted of drug driving. A significant case that highlights the ongoing legal challenges patients still face. John brings positive news from the US, where four more states are advancing legislation to allow medical cannabis use within hospitals, marking another step toward normalising patient access in clinical settings. Smee reports that Bristol Medical School is set to offer its first teaching placement in cannabis medicine. Another major step forward for education and future healthcare professionals in the UK. Dr. Margaret covers a large new study examining a potential link between cannabis use in teenagers and increased risk of psychosis later in life. An important topic that deserves careful discussion and responsible context. And Billy rounds things off with research into the use of hemp for soil contamination cleanup, highlighting the plant's growing role in environmental restoration. Another packed episode covering progress, challenges, education, and the evolving science shaping the future of cannabis.

The Epstein files were supposed to expose the full scope of Jeffrey Epstein's elite sex trafficking network. But as more information surfaces, many are asking whether the connections extend further than originally believed, possibly even into South Carolina. In this episode of Investigate Earth, we speak with FITS News investigative journalist Andy Fancher about corruption, unanswered questions, and how national scandals can intersect with local power structures. We also welcome Benna Thompson, who is seeking deeper scrutiny into the death of her husband's female cousin, a case officially ruled a suicide. Benna believes critical details have not been fully examined and questions whether her husband's cousin may have been connected to something much larger. Is there a broader story behind the headlines? Could elite trafficking networks have ties that reach closer to home? Tonight, we examine the allegations, the evidence, and the questions that refuse to go away.Check Out FitsNews HereOur Merchandise Store

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: I have been with my current organization for 5+ years. I like the company and have generally had a good experience working here. However, the last several years I have not really gotten a raise except for the standard “merit raise”, which does not cover inflation, so effectively the last several years I have made less money than the year before. I brought this up to my EM who said there is no chance of the company increasing the merit raises to meet inflation, unless I get a promotion. However, my EM also said there are no promotions available. I don't know if this means the company knows the job market is tough and they don't have to pay us as much, or if the company is in dire financial straits and unable to keep salaries up with inflation. This job market is tough and I don't know how long it would take me to find a new job, but certainly I will look. My question is basically, how can I go about getting my manager to help me level up to make myself a more attractive candidate for a future job without necessarily tipping my hand that I am job searching. On one hand I assume he knows that I might be looking. On the other hand if the company is in a bad position and we have another round of layoffs (we have had several over the past few years), I don't want to be first on the chopping block because it looks like I have my foot out the door. I'm just wondering how much I should make it clear what my goals are to have my EM work with me, or play it close to the vest. I am a Software Engineering Manager with about 12 years of experience. I am a few months into a new role at a medium sized private company. The day I joined I found out that all ICs under Staff-level are international contractors! Surprise! My team is mostly contracted “Senior developers”. Nobody is anywhere near what I consider “Senior”. The company has a culture of aggressive performance reviews. However, I'm seeing ICs and other Managers around me who are all seriously below the bar compared to other places I've worked in the tech industry. I get a lot of vague pressure from the Director/CTO level to “raise the bar” and quickly exit people who aren't meeting it. I already fired one person for performance and behavior issues, but I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place. If I'm truly going to hold my team accountable to my and the company's own published performance metrics, I should fire the whole team. That's probably not good. Alternately, I can pad performance evaluations to convince my boss that everyone is meeting expectations. This also isn't good, but feels like what everyone else is doing. Also, I'm a little queasy doing aggressive firing and performance reviews for contractors. The company treats them as full time employees (after hours on call expectations, etc) and I'm not sure how Earth lawyers would look at this situation. Help! Final wrinkle - my last two jobs I've lasted less than a year. I wasn't fired but just haven't been able to find a good fit for a little while. I'm worried that if I just leave this job 6 months in, it'll start to look suspicious on my resume.

Repeated or aggressive antibiotic use disrupts gut microbes that regulate brain chemicals, which raises your risk of anxiety, low mood, poor sleep, and emotional instability Research shows that antibiotics lower acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter that supports calm focus, memory, and stress tolerance, explaining why many people feel anxious, foggy, or irritable after a course Even a single round of antibiotics is linked to higher rates of anxiety and depression, and the risk rises further with repeated exposure, especially with drugs like penicillin, quinolones, and clindamycin Antibiotic-driven gut damage weakens the gut barrier, reduces short-chain fatty acids, and overstimulates the stress-response system, creating a full-body shift that pushes the brain toward anxiety and depressive patterns Early-life antibiotic exposure leaves long-term marks on mood, behavior, and stress resilience, meaning gut disruption during childhood or adolescence can shape mental health well into adulthood

Artificial intelligence (AI) is intensifying workloads rather than alleviating them, leading to increased burnout and declining decision quality, according to findings published in the Harvard Business Review and cited by Dave Sobel. The episode underscores that AI lowers the cost of producing outputs such as drafts and summaries but raises throughput targets and introduces new verification burdens. Economic gains from AI remain concentrated where capital and skilled labor already exist, while negative impacts—like displacement and wage pressure—are felt locally. These dynamics highlight the need for robust governance, particularly for managed service providers (MSPs) who deploy AI solutions.Supporting studies referenced include the International AI Safety Report, which details heightened uncertainty around AI development and its risks, as well as research from Oxford documenting the unreliability of AI chatbots in real-world medical decision-making. Experts warn that rapid automation without corresponding improvements in control systems creates structural constraints, making traditional software governance frameworks inadequate for unpredictable AI behaviors. Without proactive measures, these gaps risk exacerbating economic inequality and liability in regulated environments.Additional developments include OpenAI's release of upgraded agent features—such as GPT-5.2, improved context retention, managed shell containers, and a new skills standard—presented as operational enhancements but raising concerns about black-box context handling, auditability, and dependency risk. T-Mobile's AI-powered live translation service offers greater convenience but eliminates audit trails, shifting compliance risk to customers and prohibiting independent verification. Quark Cyber's launch of an internal cyber risk score introduces further complexity, as the scoring methodology is embedded within a financial product structure and lacks transparent validation.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the key takeaway is to treat new AI features and risk metrics as tools with significant tradeoffs. AI deployments should focus on governance layers that include workload caps, quality gates, and measurable outcomes rather than simply accelerating productivity. New features should be used for low-stakes workflows and carefully avoided in high-risk or regulated contexts unless auditable controls and deterministic checkpoints are established. Vendor-managed risk scores and warranties require independent validation before being positioned as client-facing truth standards.Four things to know today00:00 Harvard, Oxford Studies Find AI Raises Workload, Delivers Inadequate Medical Advice05:01 OpenAI Updates Deep Research and Adds New Agent Runtime Capabilities07:33 T-Mobile Tests Real-Time Call Translation Built Into Its Network09:17 Cork Cyber Rolls Out New Risk Score for Managed Service ProvidersThis is the Business of Tech.   Supported by:  ScalePad Small Biz Thoughts Community

They called 2020 the most secure election in American history. But now the FBI has executed a federal search warrant in Fulton County, Georgia, seizing hundreds of boxes of ballots tied to that election. Reports of missing ballot boxes, record retention discrepancies, and chain-of-custody gaps are raising serious questions about election integrity.If the election was truly the gold standard, why the need for a criminal warrant? Why alleged documentation failures? Today, Todd Huff walks through what's happening, what the affidavit reportedly claims, and why transparency — not slogans — is essential for restoring public trust.
