It's Friday, July 31st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Syrians in America have to leave the country The expiration of Temporary Protected Status for Syrians in America this week has renewed attention on the fragile security environment facing civilians in Syria, particularly Christians who remain vulnerable 18 months after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship in this 87% Muslim country, reports International Christian Concern. Temporary Protected Status is a humanitarian immigration designation that allows nationals of countries experiencing armed conflict to remain and work legally in the United States for a limited period. The designation does not provide a pathway to permanent residency but shields recipients from deportation while conditions in their home country are deemed unsafe for return. In December 2024, rebel forces, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa, forced al-Assad from power.  Al-Sharaa's group had previously been associated with Muslim jihadist movements, including al-Qaeda. Before the Syrian civil war, Christians represented a significant minority of Syria's population concentrated in Damascus — where the Apostle Paul was converted on the street. While Christians have not experienced the same level of targeted mass violence as other groups, there has been harassment and attacks on Christian communities. President Trump floats temporarily pulling Blache nomination to be AG President Donald Trump said on July 30 that he was willing to temporarily withdraw his nomination of Todd Blanche to be Attorney General until next year, if two Republican senators continued to withhold their support, reports The Epoch Times. Blanche's nomination has been held up in the Senate Judiciary Committee after Republican Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Thom Tillis of North Carolina said they would not back bringing it to the floor for a full vote. Those two votes are necessary for the nomination to advance. Earlier this year, both Cornyn and Tillis lost their bid for re-election after President Trump endorsed their opponents during the primaries. The president now intends to wait them out. In the meantime, Blanche will remain the acting head of the Department of Justice. You can express your objection to the senators for dragging their feet by calling Senator John Cornyn at 202-224-2934 and Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina at 202-224-6342. You can call 24 hours a day/7 days a week and leave a voicemail. Dr. Fauci invoked Fifth Amendment 90 times in GOP-led committee In a hearing of the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on July 29th, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, announced in his opening statement that he would invoke the Fifth Amendment and not answer any questions about his culpability in a cover-up about the source of the COVID-19 virus or what happened subsequently. Listen. FAUCI: “Members of the committee, I served at the NIH for over 54 years, 38 of those as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Over that period, I proved that I believe in and respect the value of legitimate congressional oversight. In fact, I testified before and/or briefed Senate and House committees well over 200 times over those 38 years. During and after the COVID pandemic, I have appeared multiple times for hearings in the Senate and the House, usually under oath, and sat for several days-long, transcribed, sworn interviews answering questions about the very issues that are now the subject of this hearing. “However, given Senator [Rand] Paul's obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently his publicly releasing my unredacted personal diary aimed at embarrassing and intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, ‘behind bars'. “Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion. Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right, under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, to refrain from answering your questions.” Over the course of his time in front of the Senate Committee, Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment a whopping 111 times, reports Fox News. Dr. Fauci stonewalled Senator Rand Paul numerous times Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly stonewalled Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, the Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The senator started with asking about former President Joe Biden's bizarre “full and unconditional” pardon of Dr. Fauci. PAUL:  “As a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, or the White House COVID-19 Response Team, or as Chief Medical Advisor to the President, have you refused this pardon? Or do you have any reason to believe this full and unconditional pardon, this grant of immunity, would somehow require you to plead the Fifth Amendment?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL: “Based on the facts presented, I'm going to direct you to answer the questions. The committee has issued a valid subpoena. They have requested your presence here. The questions are very pertinent to your decision making as head of [the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases], as well as a chief advisor to the president, do you still refuse to answer the questions?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL:  “Were you ever made aware of gain-of-function research on monkeypox being conducted at the National Bio Defense Analysis and Countermeasures Center, and back at Fort Detrick, [the center of the U.S. biological weapons program from 1943 to 1969]?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” PAUL:  “Dr. Fauci, did the CIA ever transfer funds to [the National Institutes of Health] under interagency agreement?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” And Senator Rand Paul took this parting shot. PAUL: “The chairman has denied your assertion of privilege and directed you to answer, but you nonetheless refuse and stand on privilege despite the existence of the pardon. The committee will have to consider after this hearing what appropriate action should be taken against you for the failure to testify after being directed to do so. “It's against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress. There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today.” Watchdog group: Medical groups should condemn transgender surgeries on minors The medical watchdog group, Do No Harm, is calling on 10 major medical associations to explicitly condemn transgender genital surgeries on minors, reports The Daily Signal. On July 29th, Do No Harm sent open letters to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Medical Association among others. In the letter, the group wrote, “Do No Harm, and its 54,000 members, are calling on your society to publicly reject genital surgery on minors for the purpose of producing [so-called] ‘gender transitions.' While this process is uncommon, we believe that it should never occur.” In Matthew 19:4, Jesus asked, “Have you not read that [God], who created them from the beginning, made them male and female?” Marijuana should not be reclassified as a less dangerous drug Marijuana could be reclassified as a less dangerous substance under federal law. Kevin Sabet, CEO of Smart Approaches to Marijuana and the former drug policy advisor for the Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama presidential administrations as well as President Trump's former U.S. Attorney General William Barr, thinks that would be a terrible idea. He said that reclassifying marijuana as a drug with accepted medical use and a lower risk of abuse than drugs subject to greater controls would be reckless. Sabet added, “The evidence presented at the hearing confirmed what decades of data have shown: Raw marijuana has no scientifically established medical value and carries a high risk of abuse. Today's marijuana is more dangerous than ever before. [Reclassifying] marijuana would create the false impression that it is safe, would reduce penalties for peddling the drug illegally and would give those who purvey it legally a huge tax windfall. That would be a disaster.”  The Department of Justice held a hearing last month to consider it at President Donald Trump's request. Despite the fact that President Trump is a teetotaler who eschews alcohol and drugs, he told his administration last December to push forward on easing marijuana restrictions, after an aggressive lobbying push by advocates including a cannabis CEO, a Florida sheriff, and a Mar-a-Lago member, the Wall Street Journal previously reported. Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family, previously wrote, “Use of cannabis increases a person's chance of developing a bipolar disorder or schizophrenia by an average of 47%. It's also shown to significantly increase hallucinations and paranoia. “In fact, it's been determined that regular use of medical marijuana leads to a higher chance of heart attack, stroke and coronary artery disease. … If the established goal is to make America healthy and great again, this objective will not be reached by increasing access to poisonous pot.” In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, the Apostle Paul asked, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.” Montana listeners like our brevity and updates on the persecuted Here at The Worldview in 5 Minutes, Winston and Heather Royal in Helena, Montana, wrote, “Adam, we appreciate the newscast because it's short, to the point, and from a Christian perspective. We appreciate hearing about our Christian brothers and sisters around the world. And we often listen to it at breakfast time. Thank you for your work!” Texas listener values boldness and truthfulness of The Worldview And Byron Barlowe in Plano, Texas wrote, “Adam, your newscast is something I've evangelized about for four reasons. I find the integration of a Biblical worldview into reporting the news to be effective and refreshing. Brevity matters more than ever. I also relate to the brevity of your newscast since Probe Ministries, a group I write for, produces a 3-minute daily feature. The candor among you and the two other writers of The Worldview is bold, truthful, and necessary. For example, I appreciate your reference to homosexual faux marriage instead of so-called ‘gay marriage.' Spade-calling is truth-telling and, when done in a gracious spirit led by the Spirit of God, can have good effect. You have a golden radio voice that emanates masculinity without undue forcefulness. Both women and men need that in the era of so-called ‘toxic masculinity' and the feminized Church which follows a confused culture. I just like it, too.” Byron, thanks for your encouragement as we use the instruments of our laptops and voice to communicate. 23 Worldview listeners gave $13,150.04 And finally, by Thursday night at 9:00pm Central, 23 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the 6-member team behind The Worldview for another year. Our thanks to Jerry in Angie, Louisiana and Thomas in Spartanburg, South Carolina – both of whom gave $25 as well as David in Wilmington, Ohio and Lori in Rockford, Illinois – both of whom gave $50. We appreciate Tony and Jennie in Palmdale, California who gave $80.04, Samuel in Greensboro, North Carolina who gave $90, and Jeanne in Thomasville, North Carolina and Ron in Orange Park, Florida – both of whom gave $100. We're grateful to God for Jody in Westerlo, New York and Kevin and Shelly in Columbus, Nebraska – both of whom gave $200, Glenn and Linda in Palmdale, California who gave $240, Marlowe in Freetown, Prince Edward Isalnd, Canada who gave $250, Kelly in Rio Rancho, New Mexico who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, and Vanessa in Templeton, California and Nicki in Carthage, Missouri – both of whom pledged $35/month for 12 months for a gift of $420. We were touched by the generosity of Serge in Simpsonville, South Carolina who gave $500, Charles and Pamela in Sierra Madre, California  who gave $500, Sean in Burlington, Wisconsin who gave $500, and Francesca in Rockaway Township, New Jersey who also gave $500. All four of them were matched by our friend in Naples, Florida who gave another $2,000. And we were blown away by Frederick in Gainesville, Florida who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Jeff in Sevierville, Tennessee who gave $1,000, and Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas who gave $5,000. Wow! Those 23 gifts add up to $13,150.04. That's the largest total amount in a single day throughout this July 2026 fundraiser. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $94,270 (sound effect of people cheering) We need to raise $29,230 by midnight tonight, July 31st! That means in order to hit our final goal of $123,500 by midnight tonight, Friday, July 31st, God needs to prompt folks to give an astounding $29,230 in order for the 6-member Worldview newscast team to be fully funded for another year. So, as I've said over the last several days, if you have been waiting until the last minute, this … is … it!  We could really use your help.  The finish line is upon us. Perhaps in our national audience, there are three others, just like Steve and Carla in Katy, Texas, who feel led by God to give a one-time gift of $5,000. If that $15,000 comes in, we would need just 15 people to either give a one-time gift of $1,000 or make a monthly pledge of $83.33 for 12 months which adds up to $1,000. If all of that is way out of your budget, just give what you can. $10. $20. $30. Every dollar gets us closer. Now, if you can't give a dime, then pray. Pray that God would stir the hearts of those who can give! Just go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give, select the dollar amount, and make sure to click on the “recurring” button if that's your wish.  And remember this, if you want to continue your monthly pledge to The Worldview that you started prior to July 1, 2026, please let me know so we can count your generous ongoing gift toward our total.

Darrell Castle talks about the testimony or better said, the refusal to give testimony, of Doctor Anthony Fauci before the Senate Committee headed by Senator Rand Paul. Transcription / Notes THE SCIENCE TAKES THE 5TH Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 31st day of July in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about the testimony or better said, the refusal to give testimony, of Doctor Anthony Fauci who was the Director of the National Institute of Health Division of Allergy and Infectious Disease for about 30 years especially during the COVID years. He finished his medical residency in the 1960's and has been a government bureaucrat since then. Yes, Dr. Fauci who famously remarked when told that we should follow or stick to the science said, “I am the science.” For years it seems Senator Rand Paul had been trying to get Dr. Fauci to testify before his Senate committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs but the science steadfastly refused. Finally, Senator Paul was able to persuade the members to issue a subpoena and that compelled the science to show up at the hearing with his team of lawyers. Senator Paul had to have his lead attorney escorted out of the hearing by security because he was disruptive and acting like his narcissistic client. President Biden issued or rather his autopen issued a pardon to Fauci for any crimes he may have committed during the last 10 years. In other words, a preemptive pardon in case some charging agency decided to indict him for oh say mass murder. The committee obviously knows he can't be charged for the crimes he may have committed so what was the purpose of the subpoena. The purpose was to put him in a position to do one of two things but he was unwilling to do either. Either he would admit to some of the most horrible crimes in American history none of which could bring prosecution, or he would lie about them under oath which would constitute the crime of perjury and that is a new crime for which he has not been pardoned. Here's the opening statement from the science read as part of his opening attack on Senator Paul. “Although it pains me to do so, because of the respect I have for the Legislative Branch for government, and my decades long record of cooperating with congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions.” So, he told them that he would not testify or answer any questions at all. When Senator Josh Hawley got his turn to ask questions he asked him what day is today and the science simply repeated the same quote. Senator Hawley said let me be clear you have no 5th Amendment protection because you were pardoned but obviously the Senator got a little carried away because a pardon does not take away the bill of rights. It even protects those for whom it has been nothing more than toilet tissue for their years of government service. However, it is an open question as to whether a person can be compelled to give answers to questions about crimes for which he cannot be prosecuted. The real problem with all this is a class of people who know they are completely above the law and nothing they do no matter how evil can ever reach them. Apparently they view the rest of us as sheep to be sheared. When these folks look in the mirror they are very happy with what they see. Fauci was one of the highest paid government employees in history and still receives the highest pension, and he is quite aware of his untouchability. The hearing followed the release of a diary that Dr. Fauci kept personally during the COVID nightmare. Yes, this man is so incredibly egotistical that he kept a written record of his crimes. How did Rand Paul come to have possession of Fauci's private diary. He was so confident that he was untouchable he put his diary on a government server. Senator Paul released the diary to the public and social media ran with it but interestingly mainstream media did not.  The diary is more than 1000 pages of private thoughts and is now a permanent record of the pandemic's entire existence. It presents this so-called expert in a very unfavorable light and I'm not surprised he didn't want to talk about it. He knows his media friends will cover for him as they always have. He comes across as one who was very aware of his growing celebrity and the adept way that he learned to play the game of Washington politics. He seemed to understand how to play President Trump and that the President didn't have the confidence to fire him. The science was preoccupied, even in dire moments for the nation, of his growing fame. There are multiple entries recorded in his own writing of his adoration pictured in the media coverage. He made note of each flattering article, for example quoting the science from his comments about a Washington Post article in May of 2020, “its not hyperbole to say that today I am the most famous and talked about person in the country and one of the most recognizable persons in the world.” Some of his proudest moments were regarding calls or meetings with adoring celebrities. Comments such as “great call” with Barbra Streisand in which he gave her advice on the mRNA vaccine. He also made note of his interactions with Julia Roberts, Steph Curry, and many others. It all concludes with his embrace of Hunter Biden at the Kennedy Center Honors night with a special note about what he thought the reaction to the photo would cause. My guess is that he did not tell Ms. Streisand that five months after he had the vaccine he had a myocardial infarction which I believe is doctor speak for heart attack. Well, that's enough about the good Dr.'s ego but what did he record of actual substance. On January 26, 2020, he wrote that epidemiological and genomic data showed the first infection occurred in early December and was unconnected to the Wuhan market. “Now we know the market was not the source it was the amplifier.” To me that is an admission that he knew the source was not natural but lab produced. That is despite the years of statements that he was certain it was of natural origin. He recorded his now famous conference call with other members of the science of virology and only two of them believed it had a natural origin and the rest thought “deliberate insertion was possible” They discussed the possibility of accidental or deliberate release by a lab as the source. He knew all that time that it was lab grown and he had financed its gain of function using your money. Doctors and scientists tell us that gain of function occurs when there is an existing virus which is harmless and usually doesn't jump from animals to humans. That virus is then combined with another in a lab creating a new virus completely. That virus is much more dangerous and much more transmissible thus it has gained in function. These horrible crimes for which normal people across the world suffered terribly were all pardoned by President Biden or were they. Whether or not the autopen was an actual pardon is an ongoing question. Hear this quote from the clemency warrant that made the pardon. “For any offenses against the United States which he may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1,2014, through the date of this pardon arising from or in any manner related to his service as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, as a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force or the White House COVID-19 Response Team, or as Chief Medical Advisor to the President.” The President is supposed to issue a pardon to correct what he views as an injustice and the pardon is therefore personal to him but there is no evidence that President Biden reviewed all 39 pardons he issued including several family members and the entire Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. This all raises the question of whether the pardon is Constitutionally valid. One other question I have is that if he has been pardoned why is he afraid to testify and answer simple questions. What is he afraid of but I guess nothing screams out innocence as loudly as taking the 5th. The answer I believe is that he would have to admit mass murder if he answered truthfully and the new, unpardoned crime of perjury if he lied. In conclusion, I want to give you a few words from Paul Craig Roberts. “The COVID virus was a man-made virus. The work to make the virus easily spreadable was funded by Fauci, first at a North Carolina University and then in Wuhan China. The virus was meant to be deadly, but was not, as a backup human extermination tool, a deadly “vaccine” was created and mandated by ignorant and corrupt governments and employers, including the Biden Secretary of Defense.” This information has been extensively and thoroughly documented. Books such as Soren Korsgaard's The New September 11th and Tom Woods Diary of a Psychosis come to mind as examples of extensive documentation. Finally, folks, this is a vitally important case for the future of our country. Once again from Mr. Roberts, “Clearly in our stupidity and our ignorance we are not safe. Soon there will be a second attack on us. Bill Gates gloats about it. At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks. This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comThere are a lot of things Dr. Anthony Fauci might have said during his Senate hearing yesterday, about what he thought and did and did not do and might have done differently during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and lead member of the White House COVID-19 Response Team invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent more than 90 times. Is this shocking? Predictable? Irresponsible? Dangerous? Yes and yes and yes and yes. With Sarah busy recording the audiobook for her upcoming memoir, The Only Thing There Is To Want, Nancy asked perennial straight-shooter Mary Katharine Ham to come talk about Fauci, his “cartoonish self-absorption,” the political marketplace that has us tilt toward hero worship, and the one official who maybe kinda sorta admitted she was wrong about lockdowns.Also discussed:* Must be nice to have never heard of the Tate brothers* The “personality disorder economy” that gives us a Dr. Fauci (and a Candace Owens)* Did Mary Katharine and Nancy adhere to the government-mandated COVID protocols? No, no they did not* John Fetterman's statement seemed pretty close to the mark for many of us* What sort of hubris has you writing your diary on a government computer?* A small nod of respect for Deborah Birx* Women watch true crime on TV. Men watch…* Mary Katharine and Nancy come up with a new hustlePlus, what is lost when you catastrophize, love and props for Liz Wolfe, Mary Katharine re-reads a book she hates, and much more!Did you watch Young Washington in anticipation of talking about it on First Sunday Zoom is this Sunday, August 2, 8pm ET/5pm PT?

Amy Barden, director of the city's Community Assisted Response and Engagement (CARE) department.Barden has been on the job for just over two years, running the city's 911 operations while also setting up an unarmed team of social workers who respond to emergency calls that don't require police—the CARE Team.The CARE Team is expanding to 48 members this year, and their size will no longer be capped under the city's contract with the Seattle Police Officers' Guild (SPOG), which has historically resisted reducing the duties that legally have to be performed by police, like directing traffic and responding to 911 calls. But the contract also includes new constraints on CARE that limit where the team is allowed to go and when they have to back off and call police. CARE can't help people if there are signs that they've recently used drugs, for instance, and they aren't allowed to go inside most buildings or respond to people inside cars.We asked Barden about these constraints, along with the requirement that SPD sergeants decide who to send out on crisis calls that come in to 911—police, CARE, or community service officers, civilian SPD staffers who respond to minor issues but lack the mental health and crisis response training of the social workers who make up the CARE team.We also talked about how CARE has evolved in its first 28 months, what happens when people call 911 for a person in crisis, and Barden's hopes for the team under new mayor Katie Wilson and a more progressive City Council.Our editor is Quinn Waller.Send us a text!

Unlike any generation before them, today's children are growing up in a world where screens, social media, and constant connectivity are woven into everyday life. Their friendships, self-image, and sense of belonging are being shaped not in classrooms or playgrounds, but in the curated feeds and endless notifications of their screens.  And while parents have become vigilant about supervising their children in the real world, few realize how unprotected they are in the digital one, where the boundaries are invisible and the influence relentless. Behind the statistics on rising anxiety, sleep loss, and attention struggles lies a deeper shift: the way technology is rewiring childhood itself.  We're not just seeing more anxious or distracted kids; we're witnessing a fundamental change in how they experience the world. The line between real and virtual life has blurred, and with it, the natural rhythms of play, rest, and connection.  What happens when the very tools designed to connect us start reshaping how children think, feel, and relate to others? Are we raising a generation more informed, or more isolated, than ever before? If technology is rewiring childhood itself, how do we begin to rewrite the story? In this episode, I talk with Dr. Carol Vidal, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins University. From TikTok "self-diagnoses" to the illusion of online friendships, Dr. Vidal helps us understand what's really happening inside the minds of today's youth, and how families can begin to take back control.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The hidden cost of "connection" Social media was designed to keep kids engaged, not safe. What happens when algorithms built for profit start shaping a generation's mental health? The new face of attention problems It's not always ADHD. Constant overstimulation from screens is raising the brain's threshold for focus, but can that attention be retrained? Sleep: the first casualty of late-night scrolling Blue light isn't the only culprit. How does nighttime screen use quietly unravel mood, behavior, and emotional stability? When identity goes digital Likes and followers have replaced real-world feedback. How does this reshape self-esteem, social development, and the ability to form real relationships?   About the Guest Dr. Carol Vidal is double-board certified in general and child and adolescent psychiatry. She is an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) School of Medicine and holds an adjunct appointment in the Department of Mental Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She completed her M.D. and PhD at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and MPH at Drexel University in Philadelphia, and residency in general psychiatry and fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Maryland. She provides clinical services through the JHU Bayview expanded school-based mental health program, evaluating and treating adolescents with behavioral and depressive disorders, and co-directs the SMART (School Mental Health Advice and Response Team) program, funded by the Maryland Department of Health to conduct a suicide prevention program in Baltimore City Schools. Dr. Vidal is the recipient of the NIDA/AACAP K12 (American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Physician Scientist Program in Substance Abuse Award) and studies the associations between cannabis use and suicide in adolescents using ecological momentary assessment methods. She has recently published a book called "Status and Social Comparisons Among Adolescents, Popularity in the Age of Social Media." Her research and clinical interests are around problematic digital media use, addictions, depression, and suicide-related behaviors in adolescents.

“Availability is resilience. If you can't see it, you can't secure it.” — Roland Dobbins, Principal Engineer, NETSCOUT ASERT Team In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Doug Green, Publisher of TR Publications, speaks with Roland Dobbins, Principal Engineer on NETSCOUT's ASERT (Arbor Security Engineering & Response Team), about the growing risk of outbound DDoS attacks—and why service providers and enterprises must defend against threats moving in every direction. NETSCOUT, a global leader in network visibility and DDoS defense, has been monitoring an alarming surge in outbound and cross-network (east-west) attack traffic driven by new “Turbo Mirai” botnets, particularly the Aisuru variant. These attacks can exceed 20 terabits per second and 6 gigapackets per second, overwhelming even the largest operators. Dobbins explains that while most organizations focus on protecting against incoming DDoS traffic, outbound attack streams can be just as damaging, clogging peering links and taking down critical infrastructure. “We're seeing broadband networks unintentionally launching massive attacks, sometimes over a terabit per second, because of compromised IoT and connected devices,” Dobbins said. “It's not just about defending the target — it's about protecting your own network from being part of the problem.” NETSCOUT's ASERT team, which observes 40,000–50,000 DDoS attacks daily across 60% of the world's IPv4 space, provides continuous research and live mitigation guidance to customers worldwide. Dobbins emphasized that effective DDoS defense requires edge-to-edge visibility, sub-second detection, and suppression of both inbound and outbound traffic. “You can't secure what you can't see,” he added. “Operators need full visibility across their networks, with active mitigation built into daily operations.” Learn more about NETSCOUT's global threat research and DDoS defense solutions at netscout.com.

The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake caused a lot of destruction. It also stirred up a lot of change. And helped create new things, like NERT, the Neighborhood Emergency Response Team. NERT started as a way to prepare for natural disasters, but it's got some problems that are man-made. Back in 2023, KALW's Wren Farrell went out to see what role NERT might play in the city's next big emergency.

Dr. David Kessler is a renowned pediatrician, lawyer, public health advocate, and former Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A graduate of Amherst College, the University of Chicago Law School, and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Kessler has spent his career at the intersection of science, policy, and consumer protection. He served as Dean of the Yale School of Medicine and the University of California, San Francisco Medical School, and most recently held the role of Chief Science Officer for the White House COVID-19 Response Team. Dr. Kessler is the acclaimed author of several influential books including the New York Times bestseller The End of Overeating, Fast Carbs, Slow Carbs, and his latest work, Diet, Drugs & Dopamine: The New Science on Achieving a Healthy Weight. His writing and research have been pivotal in shifting the public health conversation from willpower to biological understanding—especially regarding food addiction, the manipulation of hyper-palatable foods, and the role of dopamine in modern eating behaviors. A true trailblazer in the field, Dr. Kessler has dedicated decades to unraveling the powerful science behind why we eat the way we do—and how we can reclaim our health in a world of ultra-processed foods. Dr. Kessler shares his personal journey with weight regain and the "aha moment" that led him to call it what it is—addiction. He explores the role of GLP-1 medications, the dark side of food addiction, and how we must move beyond willpower to tackle this epidemic with compassion, science, and actionable tools.

How the FBI Used 1,000 Bottles of Baby Oil to Build a RICO Case Against Diddy: Digital Evidence Breakdown  The federal investigation that brought down Sean "Diddy" Combs represents one of the most sophisticated law enforcement operations in entertainment history. This comprehensive analysis examines how federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations, the FBI, DEA, and ATF coordinated a multi-agency takedown that began with Cassie Ventura's explosive lawsuit and culminated in RICO charges carrying a potential life sentence. Our investigation reveals the intricate timeline from November 2023 when Cassie filed her $20 million settlement lawsuit to the dramatic March 2024 simultaneous raids on Diddy's Los Angeles and Miami mansions. Federal agents discovered over 1,000 bottles of baby oil allegedly used in "Freak-Off" parties, three AR-15 rifles with defaced serial numbers, and thousands of videos that prosecutors claim Diddy used for blackmail. This video breaks down the digital forensics operation that analyzed over 10,500 terabytes of data from seized phones and computers. We explore how the FBI's Computer Analysis and Response Team, consisting of nearly 500 highly trained agents, extracted evidence even from devices Diddy thought were secure. The investigation utilized cutting-edge cell phone forensics tools, GPS tracking, metadata analysis, and social media enhancement techniques to build an airtight case. The Southern District of New York's prosecution strategy transforms individual allegations into a comprehensive RICO conspiracy case, treating Diddy's business empire as a criminal enterprise. Led by U.S. Attorney Damian Williams and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Meredith Foster, Emily Johnson, and their team, prosecutors argue that Bad Boy Entertainment, Combs Enterprises, and related businesses facilitated sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, and witness intimidation. We analyze the legal significance of charging a celebrity under racketeering laws typically reserved for organized crime families. The case demonstrates how modern federal investigators approach complex criminal enterprises in the digital age, using sophisticated analytical tools to map relationships, track communications, and visualize criminal operations spanning decades. Expert commentary from former federal prosecutors explains why this case could result in a life sentence and how it compares to other high-profile RICO prosecutions like R. Kelly and Harvey Weinstein. The investigation's speed—from initial lawsuit to federal indictment in less than a year—reveals either pre-existing intelligence or the extensive nature of the alleged criminal activity. #DiddyInvestigation #FederalRICO #DigitalForensics #LawEnforcement #SouthernDistrictNY #HSIRaids #CelebryJustice #TrueCrimeAnalysis #FederalCharges #CriminalEnterprise    Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Today, the East Coast Prison Justice Society released a series of calls to action, including ending police deployment to wellness checks and to launch a civilian crisis response team. This comes after two deaths in HRM where police attended wellness checks and a conducted energy weapon (aka taser) was deployed to subdue the individual. Sheila Wildeman is the chair of the East Coast Prison Justice Society and a professor of law at Dalhousie University. El Jones is one of the authors of the 2022 report, Defunding the Police: Defining the Way Forward for HRM and a professor at MSVU. Jamie Livingston is a criminology prof at SMU.

We (Quinn) has been avoiding this question for quite a while. I even wrote a few thousand words about it a couple months ago and didn't publish it because it was a bit of a downer. But that's kind of malpractice in a way because we promised we don't shy away from the hard stuff even if the goal is to help you understand what you can do about it. Just like there's never really an optimal time in your life to get married, or have a baby, or get arrested, there's never a good time to talk about bird flu, which means it's always the right time to talk about bird flu, and especially when you've got the best of the best on the line.What can I do about bird flu? That's today's big question and my returning guest is the wonderful Dr. Nahid Bhadelia. Dr. Bhadelia is the founding director of the BU Center on Emerging Infectious Diseases. She's a board certified infectious diseases physician and an associate professor at the BU School of Medicine.She served as the Senior Policy Advisor for Global COVID 19 Response for the White House COVID 19 Response Team in 2022 and 2023, where she coordinated the interagency programs for global COVID 19 vaccine donations from the United States.

Disaster response specialist, Steve Slepcevic of Strategic Response Partners joins Del from the epicenter of the North Carolina flood disaster following Hurricane Helene with his team of experts on the ground. He gives a live update, sharing details on the lack of government response, how brave civilians are leading the relief effort, and how the information reported in the media is representative of what is happening on the ground.

Union Adventist University's Disaster Response team returned early Monday morning from a week of assisting communities affected by the hurricane in North Carolina. The team helped with tree removal, cleaning up houses and supplying people with food and water.

As recovery and cleanup continues in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in Georgia, Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall in Florida on Wednesday as a Category 3 storm. Chris Stallings, the director of the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency, joins “Closer Look” for an update on recovery efforts and preparations as evacuees from Florida are headed to the Peach State. Plus, the Cobb County Police Department recently added a new unit. It's called the Community Assistance Response Team, also known as the CART Program. Officers on this unit are not sworn-in officers, but they are specially trained to handle non-emergency situations. Cobb County Police Captain Brian Pope, who oversees the unit, discusses how the new unit will reduce response times and help foster strong community relationships.

Union Adventist University's Disaster Response Team has been deployed to assist in clean up following the destruction of Hurricane Helene. The team of 35 students and faculty are currently in Newland, North Carolina assisting the small town. They plan to return on Sunday, October 13th.

With a slight deviation from our normal formatting, this episode carries the Explicit warning for language that may not be suitable for all audiences as the initial emergency response crew from the Florida Cattlemen's Association gathers around camp to wind down after a long day in the field. We discuss the importance of assisting fellow cattlemen and farmers in the wake of devastating hurricanes, how the general public can help via donations to the Florida Cattlemen's Foundation, all while sprinkling in a lot of laughs and borderline inappropriate humor as first responders so often do as a coping mechanism for the stress encountered. Our hope is that it provides everyone with a shining example of community being there for each other and demonstrates how food supplies can be tremendously impacted by these natural disasters.

In this episode, we sit down with Santiago, a Senior Security Engineer at Canva, to talk about the complexities of building and managing an incident response team, especially in high-growth companies. Santiago shares his experience transitioning from penetration testing to incident response and highlights the unique challenges that come with protecting a rapidly expanding organization. We explore the differences between incident response in high-growth versus established companies, the importance of having the right personnel, and the critical skills needed for effective incident response.
