In Segment 3, Kim launches into a raw, boots-on-the-ground reflection on St. Louis' homelessness problem, triggered by daily encounters near the War Memorial. She and Marc call out the trash-strewn parks, the visibly strung-out squatters, and the decades of liberal mismanagement. The segment spotlights Trump's new executive order taking a “housing first” approach—tying assistance to addiction treatment and mental health support. Kim argues the majority of street dwellers aren't victims of housing prices but of their own refusal—or inability—to seek help. Marc raises a valid concern: who's funding this, and will bureaucrats actually let it work? Both hosts slam the grift of the homelessness-industrial complex and praise the plan's common-sense focus on accountability.

In deze aflevering van Vitamine A spreken we met Esther Kox, cognitief psycholoog en expert op het gebied van vertrouwen tussen mens en kunstmatige intelligentie. Esther promoveerde aan de Universiteit Twente en doet onderzoek naar hoe mensen omgaan met technologie die steeds slimmer en zelfstandiger lijkt te worden.Het gesprek richt zich op een centrale vraag: wat betekent het eigenlijk om AI te vertrouwen? Esther legt uit waarom we geneigd zijn om technologie menselijke eigenschappen toe te kennen en hoe dat ons oordeel beïnvloedt. Ook introduceert ze het begrip ‘gekalibreerd vertrouwen': een evenwichtige balans tussen wat AI werkelijk kan en wat wij denken dat het kan.Aan de hand van herkenbare voorbeelden laat Esther zien hoe snel we ons laten overtuigen, maar ook hoe belangrijk het is om als professional kritisch en bewust te blijven. Zeker voor accountants, die van oudsher het vertrouwen vertegenwoordigen in cijfers en controle, is dat essentieel. In een wereld waar AI steeds vaker data genereert en beslissingen beïnvloedt, gaat het erom technologie verstandig te gebruiken.Deze aflevering is een eerste verkenning van deze thematiek. De vragen die het oproept komen verder aan bod op 19 november tijdens de Accountantsdag 2025 in het AFAS Theater in Leusden. Esther is daar ook spreker in het middagprogramma.Links:Meer informatie over haar onderzoek is te vinden via de Universiteit Twente, waar zij promoveerde op het proefschrift Maintaining Human‑AI Trust: Understanding Breakdowns and Repair (lees meer).Informatie over haar sessie op de Accountantsdag 2025 is beschikbaar op de website van de NBA (nba.nl/Accountantsdag).

In 2000, Luna Halo was fronted by former Reality Check front man Nathan Barlowe and released their debut CD Shimmer on Christian music label Sparrow Records. Even though Shimmer was praised by critics, Luna Halo left Sparrow Records and the Christian music industry before recording their next album due to creative differences.Barlowe replaced guitarist MacIntosh with his younger brother Cary Barlowe, Aaron Jenkins replaced bassist Brad Minor, and drummer Chris Coleman replaced Jonathan Smith, completing the lineup for the new Luna Halo.Rumors of an imminent major label deal began to surface in 2004, and a deal with DreamWorks,[2] was announced prematurely, but later proved to be untrue, after negotiations broke down. The band released another EP, Wasting Away (originally recorded as a demo for DreamWorks) and opened shows for artists Velvet Revolver, Hoobastank, Collective Soul, Ours, Needtobreathe and Family Force 5.In 2005, Luna Halo were signed to American Recordings and began work on their second album, Luna Halo. Originally scheduled for a Summer 2006 release, the album was plagued with delays. This was due to American Recordings owner Rick Rubin's departure from Warner Bros to Columbia Records.The album was finally released in late 2007.On November 13, 2012, lead singer Nathan Barlowe announced that Luna Halo would be playing their final show on December 8, 2012, at 12th and Porter in Nashville, TN. This show would mark not only the band's final show, but also their twelve-year anniversary celebration.Their song 'I'm Alright' from their 2007 album was also featured inside Flatout: Ultimate Carnage as a part of the soundtrack.After a seven-year hiatus, on February 11, 2022 Luna Halo performed a sold out show at the Mercury lounge in Nashville, Tennessee. They announced during their show that they only had two days to prepare for this concert.Luna Halo signed a multi-album deal with Spirit Music Nashville/Fluid Music Revolution in June 2024 and is currently working on new material to be released in the Fall of 2024.https://www.instagram.com/lunahalomusic/"Still on the Run" - https://www.fbrmusic.com/Host - Trey MitchellIG - treymitchellphotography IG - feeding_the_senses_unsensoredFB - facebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848Threads - www.threads.net/@treymitchellphotographySponsorship Information/Guest Suggestions  -  ftsunashville@gmail.com

Dream confronts Lucifer Morningstar in a stunning, dialogue-rich standoff. The group praises the sharp writing, along with Gwendoline Christie's magnetic performance as Lucifer. Moreover, the episode's exploration of power, punishment, and the cost of ruling leads to a memorable philosophical debate.Following that, “More Devils Than Vast Hell Can Hold” widens the scope. The hosts highlight how multiple factions vie for control of Hell's empty throne, and how this political chaos mirrors Morpheus's own internal struggles. With each step, the series deepens its mythos and moral complexity.The Revival Report: Keeping Up With the SurrealAfter their dive into The Sandman, the hosts switch gears to catch up on four episodes of Revival: “Keeping Up Appearances,” “Reality Check,” “Run Along Little Lamb,” and “Triage.” These episodes continue to unravel the show's eerie world, where resurrection feels more like a curse than a blessing.In “Keeping Up Appearances,” the discussion centers on the fragile illusion of normalcy in a town haunted by unnatural rebirths. Transitioning to “Reality Check,” the group examines how long-buried secrets start to surface, threatening that illusion entirely.Next, “Run Along Little Lamb” shifts the tone toward emotional reflection. The hosts praise its exploration of fractured relationships between the living and the once-dead. Finally, in “Triage,” high-stakes decisions and confrontations push several characters past their breaking points. The panel describes the episode as “beautifully uncomfortable” for its raw honesty.Final Thoughts: The Sandman Season 2 Premiere Captivates and ChallengesIn closing, the hosts agree that The Sandman Season 2 Premiere delivers a bold and visually stunning return. With its powerful performances, rich worldbuilding, and unflinching themes, it reminds viewers why The Sandman remains a standout in modern fantasy television.When paired with Revival's slow-burn tension and chilling existential undertones, this week's Superhero Show Show episode offers a rich and rewarding discussion.

Chuck Todd begins with a rant about his beloved Washington Nationals interesting selection with the #1 overall draft pick. He pivots to the firestorm surrounding the Trump administration over their refusal to release the promised Epstein files to the public and why Trump's reality TV style of governance is colliding with actual reality. He also discusses Trump's retribution campaign having a chilling effect on dissent, the ongoing effort to fire Fed chairman Jay Powell, and highlights a troubling trend for Democrats.Then, Chuck is joined by congresswoman Brittany Pettersen, who offers an insider's perspective on the challenges facing both Congress and her swing district in Colorado. The conversation begins with her advocacy for modernizing congressional rules, particularly around proxy voting for pregnant members, before diving into broader structural issues plaguing the institution. Pettersen argues that Congress has become increasingly dysfunctional due to the consolidation of power in leadership and the erosion of legislative authority, making it especially difficult for women and minority party members to effectively serve their constituents.The discussion covers a wide range of policy challenges, from the housing crisis and healthcare access to immigration reform and climate change. Pettersen emphasizes the need for massive federal investment in housing rather than tax incentives, warns that Trump's policies will exacerbate the housing crisis, and predicts that the homeowners insurance industry will force Congress to act on climate change. She also tackles the politically sensitive topic of immigration, arguing that outdated policies have worsened border security issues and that comprehensive reform would be the best way to address rising costs. Throughout the conversation, Pettersen stresses the importance of transparency in government spending, believing voters deserve to know exactly what services are sacrificed when tax cuts are implemented.Finally, Chuck answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment regarding Trump administration salaries, third party candidates in presidential elections and the immigration bill that never received a vote. Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction00:15 Nationals perplexing #1 draft pick02:45 The pick isn't reassuring to Nats fans04:00 You can't win if you aren't willing to spend money07:00 Trump's reality TV approach is clashing with reality08:30 Trump is acting very nervous about the Epstein files10:00 The most simple explanations for the Epstein file debacle11:00 What is Trump trying to distract from?11:45 Trump's immigration narrative doesn't match reality14:00 “Alligator Alcatraz” is a disgusting P.R. stunt15:15 The fear Trump has created will hurt the economy16:15 Misinformation made the Texas disaster far worse18:45 Reality will always get the last word20:30 Our broken information ecosystem is running into reality21:30 Trump's retribution campaign is chilling dissent23:30 People who know better are staying silent24:45 Trump is looking for a pretext to fire Jay Powell from the Fed26:00 Trump wants to use a “cost overrun” loophole to fire Powell29:00 There is a gender crisis brewing for the Democratic party31:00 Democrats are being viewed as the “women's party” and against men33:30 Check out Chuck's interview with Rahm Emmanuel on Noosphere!35:00 Brittany Pettersen joins the Chuck ToddCast! 35:30 Tour of Colorado's 7th district 37:15 Changing congressional rules for proxy voting by pregnant members 40:45 Will she introduce legislation for proxy voting if there's a new speaker? 42:30 What guardrails should be put on proxy voting? 44:30 Congress isn't set up for women 46:45 How difficult is it being in the house minority? 48:30 Big beautiful bill removed substance abuse waiver from Medicaid 49:30 Consolidation of power in leadership has been bad for democracy 52:30 Congress has given away its authority to leadership and the executive 55:00 Balancing voter concerns in a swing district 57:30 Social safety nets are being cut off 1:00:00 Is the housing crisis a state or federal issue? 1:01:00 Housing needs massive investment, not tax incentives 1:02:30 What does that investment look like? 1:04:15 Trump's policies will make the housing crisis worse 1:05:45 The homeowners insurance industry will force congress to act on climate 1:07:30 Will leaders re-think killing FEMA after the Texas disaster? 1:10:15 Will FEMA become Medicaid for disasters? 1:12:15 Voters deserve a receipt for their tax dollars 1:14:00 Voters should know what services get sacrificed for tax cuts 1:15:15 How can the immigration system be improved? 1:17:00 Fixing immigration would be the best way to address rising costs 1:18:30 Did Democrats blow it on the issue of border security? 1:20:00 Outdated immigration policy made the border issue far worse 1:21:30 Any interest in running for Michael Bennet's senate seat? 1:23:00 Should there be an age cap for legislators? 1:25:15 What is wrong with the Colorado Rockies?1:27:30 Chuck's thoughts on interview with Brittany Petterson 1:28:45 Ask Chuck 1:29:00 Do Trump appointees with multiple roles get multiple salaries? 1:31:00 Would a viable third party cause a deadlock in presidential elections? 1:35:00 Thoughts on the prior immigration reform bill that was tanked? 1:40:30 Andrew Cuomo trying to rally support against Mamdani

Trump threatens 35 percent tariff on Canada, as the administration fails to announce any new trade deals. Then, Trump approves the delivery of more weapons to Ukraine starting tomorrow, as Russia launches a new attack on Kyiv today. Plus, young Democratic officials launch an initiative to reshape the party's image and recruit fresh faces. Peter Baker, Daniella Diaz, Nayyera Haq, John Harwood, Rohit Chopra, Mallory McMorrow, John Della Volpe, and Aaron Reichlin-Melnick join The 11th Hour this Thursday. 

Marc Cox hosts Dr. William Forstchen, author of One Second After, discussing the impending film adaptation of his bestselling novel about an EMP attack that could cripple America. Forstchen breaks down how a nuclear EMP detonated in space could instantly shut down all electronics, leading to catastrophic power failures and societal collapse—potentially killing up to 80% of the population within a year. The book—and soon the movie—drives home the frightening reality that modern America is shockingly vulnerable, with no meaningful civilian protections in place. The discussion also covers the collapse of law and order, survival challenges like food shortages and the collapse of currency (which turns to bullets), and the vital importance of preparation. Forstchen and Marc underscore the failure of government to adequately address this threat, the dangers of dependence on technology, and the urgent need for Americans to get serious about readiness. The film is set to begin shooting in Bulgaria this fall with a release planned for late spring or early summer next year.

Marc & Kim start your morning with a fiery breakdown of the media's lies and the Democrats' blame game over the deadly Texas floods—Marc calls out Amy Klobuchar and the left's shameless attempt to pin FEMA failures on Trump. In Kim on a Whim, Kim dismantles the downfall of Airbnb, comparing its chaos and greed to the decline of cable TV. They tackle the radical rise of NYC's pro-Intifada mayoral frontrunner and the DNC's embrace of extremism, and wrap the hour defending capitalism amid Prime Day spending and leftist envy over Bezos's wealth. Kim blasts the lie of “equity” and government handouts while Marc makes the case for why capitalism still works.

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we're joined by Jon Charbonneau and Ryan Watkins to unpack the bombshell news of Robinhood Chain—an Arbitrum-based network debuting tokenized U.S. stocks, 3× crypto perps, and that head-scratching $500 K liquidity cap. From riffing on whether proof-of-stake yields are just “money in a box,” to debating Solana's first U.S. staked ETF, to sizing up the looming perp wars between Robinhood and Coinbase, the crew maps a common thread: corporate chains and regulatory work-arounds are colliding with crypto's decentralization ideals, forcing builders, traders, and even ETF hawks to rethink where real security, fairness, and opportunity will live next.

Docs are in denial, but the economic incentives make it inevitable. Meanwhile, you're working hard to become a doctor — and now a bot might take your place? The Sheriff of Sodium, Dr. Brian Carmody, is back on the Short Coat to say what nobody wants to hear but might need to: yes, AI in medicine is real, and the value proposition makes docs' replacement inevitable. From primary care AI to image-heavy fields like pathology, we're talking actual use cases. We break down physician automation, the AMA's waning influence, and why corporations – and even patients – might be the real force behind AI-driven doctor job loss. If you thought medical school guaranteed career security, this might shake your certainty. But there are specialties and human-only qualities that you can lean into for a bright future amidst the bots. Then the Sheriff, M3 Jeff Goddard, MD/PhD Miranda Schene, M2s Sarah Lowenberg and Taryn O'Brien pivot to a deeply personal listener question: should a pre-med student push through to med school while struggling with mental health, like her parents want her to? Or take time off to regroup?

Tesla is famous for throwing caution to the wind in the name of rolling out cool technology, so it was somewhat surprising to see its robotaxi service launch over the weekend in somewhat muted fashion. The Verge's Andy Hawkins joins the show to explain what, exactly, Elon Musk and co. launched, and what it says about the state of the self-driving revolution. After that, The Verge's Allison Johnson takes us through the history of MVNOs, and why they might just be the best deal in wireless carriers. We talk about Trump Mobile, Ryan Reynolds, e-SIMs, and what it would mean to make it easier to switch service. Finally, we answer a question from the Vergecast Hotline about how to free up storage on your iPhone. It's harder than it should be, but hopefully easier than you think.
