When no one else comes to rescue us, what happens? That's the big takeaway today in all 3 hours. President Trump's endorsement record and approval in the eye of the GOP is sky high. Is that why dirty agents inside the Secret Service want Trump killed? Three Secret Service members get stripped of their clearances, firearms and duties and are booted - but why? And what about the guy who was scoping out Trump's LA golf course and was found to have hundreds of pages of Secret Service details about the First Family?  

Rescuers in Nepal search for survivors after a devastating flash flood. Meta agrees to pay $18 billion to settle U.S. lawsuits over children's social media addiction. Nvidia forecasts 70% sales growth next year. And Nigeria searches for hundreds kidnapped from a mosque.

Rescuers in the central city of Kryvyi Rih are continuing to search for survivors of Friday's daytime drone attack on a shopping centre.

Loneliness does not always look like isolation. Sometimes it looks like being surrounded by people and still feeling profoundly unseen. Psalm 68:6 arrived in the middle of a night of crying out to God: God sets the lonely in families. In its original context, this verse speaks of God as Father and Rescuer of Israel — but it reveals something unchanging about His character. He is a faithful Father who cares for His children, who longs for them to experience the joy and love of genuine community and belonging. If you are burdened with loneliness today, cry out to Him. He is your ever-present, faithful Heavenly Father — and He has a family full of brothers and sisters in Christ who are waiting for you. Today's Bible Verse "God sets the lonely in families; he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land."— Psalm 68:6, NIV Ponder Today God is a faithful Father who sees the lonely and moves on their behalf. Psalm 68:6 reveals something deep about His character: He does not leave His children isolated. He actively sets the lonely in families, in community, in belonging. Loneliness does not always look like being alone. It can look like being in a room full of people and still feeling profoundly unseen and misunderstood. Bring that specific ache to God — He hears and understands it. Those who have found community are called to seek out those who haven't. If God has blessed you with a family of believers, look around for those who are isolated and suffering. Enlarging your heart toward them is part of what it means to be the family of God. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, I am so grateful that You have given me a new heart to love You and love others. Yet my heart is heavy and burdened with loneliness. Sometimes it feels so difficult to find others who understand me, and I am tempted to isolate when I am hurting. Help me to become vulnerable with others and share my burdens with them. I trust that You have a special family awaiting me who love You as I do, and I long to find that kind of community to be knit together with. Thank You for Your faithfulness and nearness in my life. I lean upon You and know You hear every cry of loneliness, and I trust that it will be turned into a song of joy and celebration with my family in Christ. In Jesus' name, Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer spoke to a loneliness you have been carrying quietly, we'd love to stay connected.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes David Franklin Farkas, a professional House Healer and Ghost Rescuer whose unusual work focuses on investigating and resolving reported paranormal disturbances in homes and other locations. Working at the intersection of spirituality, energy work, and paranormal investigation, David assists people who believe they are experiencing unexplained activity, unwanted spiritual presences, or unusual energetic conditions within their surroundings. David's approach to what he calls house healing involves identifying possible spiritual or energetic influences that occupants associate with unexplained sounds, sensations, apparitions, emotional disturbances, and other seemingly paranormal experiences. Rather than simply investigating whether a location might be haunted, his work focuses on attempting to bring resolution to the people involved and, according to his spiritual framework, helping earthbound spirits move on peacefully. During this fascinating conversation, Rob and David explore ghosts, hauntings, spirit communication, haunted houses, negative energy, psychic perception, and paranormal encounters. They discuss what David believes causes certain spirits to remain connected to people or places, how he approaches a reportedly haunted location, and the methods he uses when attempting to clear a home or assist a spirit. The discussion also examines how he distinguishes paranormal interpretations from more ordinary explanations for unusual experiences. Whether you're fascinated by haunted houses, ghost stories, spirit communication, psychic phenomena, or the possibility of life after death, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show takes listeners inside the unusual world of professional house healing and ghost rescue. Join Rob McConnell and David Franklin Farkas for an intriguing exploration of what may—or may not—be waiting on the other side.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

It's a familiar scenario. A man is driving his family on vacation; let's say they're going from Chicago to California. His wife gently points out to him that she just saw a sign saying, "Welcome to Kentucky." OK, Kentucky is definitely not between Chicago and California. Repeatedly, the Mrs. suggests that Mr. stop and ask directions. Then she says that four-letter word, "I think we're lost." Oh, will he stop and ask for directions? No! Maybe it's something in the male chromosome. Like most men, he's too proud to admit he's lost, and he's probably not going to be getting to California. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Lost But Proud." When it comes to our eternal destination, I think most of us hope to end up in heaven. But do you know what will keep a lot of people from ending up where they hope to? Pride. The kind that's just too proud to admit you're lost - that you can't get there on your own. There's a powerful picture of this in our word for today from the Word of God. It's a story I love. It's in 2 Kings 5:1. It's the story about a Syrian general named Naaman who discovers that he has the incurable disease of leprosy. None of his victories, none of his fame can help him. So he accepts advice to go to the prophet Elisha in Israel who prescribes something that is not Naaman's idea of how you get well. The prophet says, "Go wash yourself seven times in the Jordan River, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed." Naaman is furious! He says, "I thought he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy." The general had brought money to pay for a cure, but the prophet wouldn't take the money. See, Naaman had his own idea of how he could get cured. It just wasn't God's idea. It wouldn't work. Finally, "he went down" the Bible says "and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young man." Naaman would go on dying until he swallowed his pride and did it God's way. You and I go on carrying the death penalty for our sin until we swallow our pride and come to God His way. Which is to lay aside all of our attempts to get to Him through our own goodness, through our religion, through our spiritual connections, and we just go to the cross of Jesus and let Him wash away our sins. And let me tell you, only Jesus can. He said, "No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). That's because there was only one way to pay your death penalty. Somebody had to die, and Jesus did. We're drowning and we can't possibly swim to God. Our only hope is Jesus, the Rescuer. It's in abandoning every other hope of heaven and grabbing Him like He's your only hope, because He is your only hope. Don't let your pride make you miss heaven; being too proud to admit you've never really given yourself to Jesus even though everyone thinks you have, too proud to come to your spouse's faith, too proud to lay aside depending on your religion. Please, let this be your Jesus-day. If you're ready to finally put your total trust in Jesus to forgive you, to rescue you, tell Him that now where you are. Tell Him, "Jesus, you are my only hope. Only You died for my sin. I admit I am lost. You came back from the dead, you can come into my life. You came to find me, and I am Yours from this day on." If that's where your heart is at, then our website ought to be your next stop online. That's what it's all about is making sure your sins are forgiven and you're ready to live and ready to die, and you've got Jesus. It's ANewStory.com, will you check that out? If you're too proud to admit that you need Him, you will never end up in heaven. Pride can literally cost you your soul.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports ferry fire rescuers in Indonesia say it is unclear how many people remain missing.

It's easy to remember God's faithfulness when life is going well, but much harder when we're walking through seasons of uncertainty, disappointment, or struggle. Psalm 136 calls God's people to remember- not because God forgets, but because we do. Recounting God's work throughout creation, the Exodus, the wilderness, and the Promised Land, this psalm reminds us that His steadfast love has been present through every chapter of His people's story. When we remember what God has done in the past, we gain confidence to trust Him with both the present and the future. The story of Israel ultimately points to our own journey of faith. God is our Creator who gives us purpose, our Rescuer who brings freedom through Christ, our Shepherd who faithfully forms us through life's wilderness seasons, and our Giver who invites us to live in the fullness of His promises. No matter where you find yourself today, God's faithful love has not changed. As we remember His goodness, our hearts are strengthened to follow Him with confidence, worship Him with gratitude, and share His love with the world.

Spain's interior ministry says more than half of the migrants who arrived in the Spanish North African territory of Ceuta since Thursday morning have now returned to Morocco. Visiting Ceuta, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez condemned the influx as an attack, and violation of Spanish sovereignty. He blamed smuggling gangs and promised the state would use all means to protect Ceuta's security. Also: a top advisor to the head of FIFA has resigned over plans to sell private stakes in the World Cup, hours after Asia's Football Confederation added its voice to the growing condemnation. Hamas says it's accepted a peace deal for Gaza which would see it lay down its arms, on condition that Israel withdraws from the territory and ends its attacks.

By Friday, February 13th, 1925, rescue workers were getting close to Floyd Collins, who lay trapped deep down in Sand Cave. Above ground, crowds gathered and prayed for Floyd. Reporters questioned state officials for any updates. Photographers readied their cameras around the rescue shaft, hoping to capture the big moment.  By that point, Floyd Collins had been stuck for two weeks. Rescuers were confident they would find him. They just didn't know if they'd find him alive. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

Rescuers in Japan have had to contend with more than 100 aftershocks following the 7.1 magnitude earthquake that struck in the Kumamoto Prefecture on Tuesday. Japan Times journalist Elizabeth Beattie spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

My wife and I had been on the road for quite a while, and company was coming as soon as we got home. Frankly, with the whirlwind that preceded our departure, there was some unfinished work that we left behind at home. And, thankfully, a friend came over while we were gone and pitched in. One job my wife had asked her to tackle was to get some stubborn food and melted wax spots out of our nice red tablecloth. Well, one of the first things we noticed when we walked in the door after our trip was that tablecloth spread out on the dining room table, looking as good as new. And it had a handwritten note on it. It simply said: “I'm clean. I've been washed, and all my dirty spots came out.” Pretty amazing - a note from a tablecloth. That could only happen at our house. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Finally Clean.” Not long after I read that note on the tablecloth, I thought to myself, “Ron, you should have a note like that on you.” Because those words describe what Jesus Christ did for me; something no religion could have ever done. “I'm clean. I've been washed, and all my dirty spots came out.” You know, actually, that's the testimony of every person who has ever trusted Jesus to forgive their sins, based on what He did on the cross for them. And you know, it could describe you before this day is over. In 2 Kings 5, beginning with verse 10, our word for today from the Word of God, God tells the true story of a man who is a revealing example of how this dirty-to-clean miracle works. Naaman is a Syrian military leader who, for all his fame and success, can't do a thing about the terminal leprosy he suddenly developed. Hearing about Elisha, God's prophet, Naaman travels to Israel with his entourage to try to find a cure. He tries to buy the cure with the big money he brings with him, and the man of God won't touch the money. Then, speaking through His prophet, God tells Naaman, “Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.” Naaman is not about to humble himself and bathe in the muddy Jordan River. He tells his servants he should just go home and do it his way. But they urge him to give this strange prescription a try, and here's the outcome: “So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy.” Wow! Well, here's the point: if you'll go to the place where God says you can be cured of your terminal sin-cancer and do what He says, He'll make you clean, He'll make you new. You can't buy His forgiveness by giving Him money. You can't earn His forgiveness by doing great things. You can only receive His forgiveness by going, in your heart, to Jesus' cross and throwing yourself on His mercy and His love. He's the only One who can make you clean because He's the only One who could or would pay the death penalty for all your sin. So, this can be the day you can bring to Jesus all those mistakes, all the wreckage, the regrets of a lifetime, so you can be clean inside for the first time in your life. Doesn't that sound good? He's waiting to hear from you. You can talk to Him something like this: “Jesus, You died on that cross to pay for my sin, and you know, I have never really grabbed you in total trust to be my Rescuer from my sin. But beginning today, Jesus, I'm pinning all my hopes on You, because I know you're alive. Starting today, Jesus, I'm yours.” You know, if you want that new beginning that only Jesus can give you, I urge you to go to our website and check out the information there from the Bible about how to know you have begun a relationship with Jesus and you belong to Him. It's ANewStory.com. And that's a pretty good name for it, because that's where your new story could begin. See, there's no greater peace, no greater freedom than to be able to say from this day on, “I'm clean! I've been washed, and all my dirty spots came out!”

They're not.Beneath almost every recurring conflict is a hidden pattern that keeps both people stuck, and until you see that pattern, the same arguments tend to repeat themselves again and again.In this episode, Alastair introduces one of the most powerful relationship tools for understanding anger and conflict: the Drama Triangle. You'll learn why people unconsciously slip into three familiar roles during arguments and how those roles create frustration, defensiveness, blame and emotional distance in a marriage.You'll discover the characteristics of the Persecutor, Victim and Rescuer roles, why none of them actually solve the problem, and how couples can switch between them multiple times during a single disagreement without even realising it. Through practical examples, Alastair explains how these patterns show up in everyday conversations and why they leave both partners feeling misunderstood, unheard, and stuck.Most importantly, you'll learn the first step toward breaking the cycle: recognising the role you're playing before anger takes over the conversation. Because lasting relationship change doesn't start by changing your partner. It starts by seeing your own patterns clearly enough to choose a different response.If you've ever wondered why the same arguments keep happening in your marriage despite your best intentions, this episode will help you understand the hidden dynamic underneath the conflict and why awareness is the key to creating healthier communication.Anger Secrets is the podcast for men and women who want lasting anger management solutions and stronger relationships. Hosted by Alastair Duhs, creator of The Complete Anger Management System, each episode explores anger control, emotional regulation, communication skills, and practical strategies for building calmer, happier, and more connected lives.Your Next Step:Visit angersecrets.com.Learn more about The Complete Anger Management SystemAccess the free training on "Breaking The Anger Cycle"Book a free 30-minute anger assessment call

When a submerged power line became tangled in the motor of their rescue boat on the Black River last Friday, two Missouri state troopers found themselves on a stalled, and sinking, vessel. It was one harrowing experience among many that played out on July 10 in parts of southeast Missouri, where flash flooding stranded hundreds of people and killed a woman. We learn about the rescue effort that brought 361 people to safety and hear from a 13-year-old who was airlifted out of Camp Taum Sauk by the National Guard.

In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, we explore how the way we parent shapes a child's nervous system, emotional regulation, self esteem, and future relationships. Using the concept of **Control Dramas**, inspired by *The Celestine Prophecy* and expanded through modern psychology, attachment theory, and real world coaching experience, we break down the hidden parenting patterns that quietly influence children for decades. We cover the original four Control Dramas, the Intimidator, Interrogator, Aloof, and Poor Me parent, along with five additional parenting patterns we believe deserve attention, including the Rescuer, Charmer, Gaslighter, Competitor, and Perfectionist.Whether you're raising young children, healing from your own childhood, or trying to become a more emotionally healthy parent, this conversation will help you recognize unconscious family dynamics before they become generational patterns. We discuss attachment styles, nervous system development, emotional safety, trauma, parenting mistakes, emotional intelligence, and practical ways to break unhealthy cycles while building stronger relationships with your children. If you're interested in parenting, psychology, self improvement, personal development, emotional healing, or creating a healthier family, this episode will give you powerful insights that can change the way you see both yourself and your role as a parent.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Jim Hill and Drew Taylor take a Fourth of July detour on Fine Tooning for a deep dive into the first 50 years of Disney animation directors. With Ron Clements' memoir now pushed to October and The Great Mouse Detective celebrating its 40th anniversary, Jim and Drew trace how Disney's animated features evolved from Walt's hands-on oversight to the rise of the CalArts generation. Along the way, they revisit Snow White, Dumbo, Cinderella, The Jungle Book, The Rescuers, The Black Cauldron, and the film that helped set the stage for Disney animation's next era. HIGHLIGHTS • Ron Clements' long-awaited memoir, Making Disney Magic, gets another release-date delay. • The Great Mouse Detective turns 40, giving Jim and Drew the perfect excuse to revisit Disney animation's directing history. • Walt Disney's role in shaping Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, and Bambi gets a fresh look. • The wartime package films reveal how Disney kept animation alive during a difficult stretch for the studio. • The conversation follows the handoff from veteran Disney directors to the CalArts generation that changed feature animation. FEATURE • How early Disney animated features used supervising directors, sequence directors, and Walt's final creative say. • Why Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, and Sleeping Beauty marked a major postwar rebuilding period. • How Wolfgang Reitherman's run helped define the studio's animated output after Walt's death. • Why The Rescuers, The Fox and the Hound, The Black Cauldron, and The Great Mouse Detective became turning points for the next generation of Disney storytellers.

Rescuers in Venezuela are racing to reach thousands still missing after two powerful earthquakes struck seconds apart, with at least 235 people confirmed dead, hundreds still trapped, and U.S. search teams now heading to help. The Supreme Court handed President Trump two big immigration wins, clearing the way for his administration to strip legal status from hundreds of thousands of immigrants and making it harder for migrants to claim asylum at the border. And President Trump is trying to win back farmers hurt by his own tariffs and the Iran war, dangling 11 billion dollars in new aid even as many in farm country say they'd rather have good profits than government checks.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?
