Dave McCormick—United States Senator from Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap yesterday's successful Energy & Innovation Summit where CEOs from some of the biggest tech companies in the country pledged to invest $92 billion in Pennsylvania, much of which will go towards energy infrastructure allowing for the domestic development of artificial intelligence. 3:45pm- While speaking to the press on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said that people claiming his administration is preventing the release of Jeffrey Epstein files are being “foolish.” 4:05pm- On Wednesday, New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani visited with several Democratic members of Congress—including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Andre Carson, and Pramila Jayapal. While speaking with the press, Carter downplayed Mamdani's past calls to “globalize the intifada.” Carter suggested that some people use the phrase “symbolically.” 4:40pm- Matt says “F1” starring Brad Pitt is the best movie he has seen all year—which might be the least crazy thing he has said in a while.

In seiner aktuellen Serie Legion: House of Scam geht er dem vielleicht perfidesten Betrugsmodell unserer Zeit auf den Grund: dem Verkauf von Liebe. Im Gespräch mit Thilo erzählt Keshrau, wie er und sein Team in monatelanger Recherche die versteckte Welt der Scam-Fabriken aufgedeckt haben – von entführten Arbeitskräften in Myanmar bis zu Milliardenumsätzen mit sogenannten Pig-Butchering-Scams. Es geht um die psychologischen Mechanismen hinter diesen Betrügereien, um die Opfer auf beiden Seiten und um die Frage: Sind Love-Scams die Endstufe des Kapitalismus? Thilo und Keshrau diskutieren außerdem über die Zukunft von Journalismus und Podcasts, den Einfluss von KI auf Betrugsmaschen und darüber, warum es kein Zeichen von „Dummheit“ ist, auf diese Tricks hereinzufallen.

    Observers are calling this possibly the biggest human trafficking event in modern times. Hundreds of thousands of people recruited – usually under false pretences - to work in massive facilities in the border areas of Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos, to promote fraudulent investment schemes and romance scams to unsuspecting citizens around the world. The scams, run by criminal gangs, are thought to be making tens of billions of dollars every year. Those recruited often find themselves, trapped, beaten and tortured. Ed Butler travels to Thailand's border with Myanmar to investigate the scale of the trade, to speak to survivors and to some of those still involved, and to explore what role the ongoing civil war in Myanmar is playing in fuelling this apparently burgeoning criminal trade, beyond the reach of international law-enforcement.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

He founded CrowdHealth, a company that's taking a crowdfunding approach to healthcare - that means you pay into a community instead of giving your money to a big corporation, and that fund helps cover your medical costs upfront (so no expensive bills down the line).

       On a day www.fox4kc.com reports that if the Royals leave it will be Mayor Q's fault, we learn that Frank White has blown it again for Jackson County.  If/when the Royals and Chiefs leave the sports complex, it will definitely be more of a Frank White problem than the mayor.  In a recent letter to the governor, White offers to cut off the Royals completely AND lower the money the Chiefs get from a 3/8 cent sales tax.   Between he two of them, it has to be over in Jackson County.    I met a friend yesterday, not a conservative, and we had a chatty waiter.  What happened when the waiter asked what I do for a living was an eye opening moment for the young man, if only he wanted to open his eyes.  I was literally talking to two people that will save $16,800 between them in federal taxes next year and don't believe it's true.    The Kansas economy is ranked third to the bottom of states in the country, the first lady is helping Trump with his Russia policy and Lambert Field in St. Louis had a waiting line out the door almost to I-70 yesterday.   In sports, the Big Dumper wins the home run derby, the Royals have the easiest schedule in the league the rest of the way and Fox Sports 1 fires almost everybody.  Then, our Final Final is buyer beware if you're trying to become an extra on the set of Ted Lasso filming in KC.

    Most of us grew up believing school was our golden ticket — a noble path to knowledge, success, and the elusive American Dream. Turns out, that dream was engineered to keep you obedient, predictable, and poor. In this episode, Chris, Saied, and Rajeel peel back the curtain on the greatest con ever run on the masses: the education system. With wit, fire, and a touch of irreverence, they trace the origins of modern schooling to the Prussian model — a system deliberately designed to churn out soldiers, compliant workers, and docile consumers for industrialists like Rockefeller and Carnegie. It's not a bug. It's the feature.➡️ We break down how the very structure of school — from its bells and rows to its obsession with grades — trains you to tolerate boredom, obey authority, and measure your worth by someone else's approval. If you've ever wondered why entrepreneurship feels foreign, risk feels scary, and freedom feels unattainable, this is your wake-up call. The machine that conditioned you doesn't even exist anymore, yet it's still teaching you to fit in and punishing you if you don't. Tune in as we expose the scam, laugh through the pain, and (most importantly) show you how to unlearn the lies — for yourself and your kids.

    “The simple believe everything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.” — Proverbs 14:15In an age where scams are becoming more sophisticated by the day, Scripture reminds us that discernment isn't optional—it's essential. As believers, protecting the resources God has entrusted to us is more than a practical concern—it's an act of stewardship. Here's how you can guard your finances with wisdom, not fear.Scams Are Everywhere—But So Is WisdomFraudsters use every channel available: phone calls, text messages, emails, and even impersonations of people you trust. But as followers of Christ, we're not called to panic. We're called to walk in wisdom (Ephesians 5:15). That begins with slowing down and thinking critically.Pause before you respond. Scammers rely on urgency. If someone pressures you to act immediately—whether claiming your account is locked or your money is at risk—take a step back. Hang up. Verify the source independently. Urgency is often a red flag. Avoid untraceable payments. No legitimate organization will ask for payment via wire transfer or gift cards. These are the preferred tools of scammers because they're nearly impossible to recover.Practical Steps for Digital ProtectionFinancial stewardship now includes digital awareness. Here are practical ways to protect yourself and your family:Use credit cards, not debit cards, for online purchases. Credit cards usually come with stronger fraud protection. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all your financial accounts. Even if a scammer gets your password, they can't access your account without a second form of verification. Don't reuse passwords. Use a secure password manager, such as Bitwarden or NordPass, to create and store strong, unique passwords. Set up account alerts. Most banks allow you to monitor activity in real-time, giving you a heads-up if something unusual occurs. Freeze your credit. It's free to do and offers one of the best defenses against identity theft. You can always unfreeze it temporarily when needed. Avoid public Wi-Fi for financial transactions. Wait until you're on a secure network or at home to check your bank accounts or make purchases. Limit what you share on social media. Personal details, such as birthdays or family names, can be used to guess passwords or security questions. Adjust your privacy settings and post wisely. Shred sensitive documents before discarding them. Even in the digital age, identity thieves still dig through trash. Don't click on unfamiliar links, even if they appear to come from someone you know. When in doubt, contact the person or organization directly for clarification.Stewarding Wisdom in CommunityScammers often target the vulnerable, particularly older adults and teenagers. So make this a shared effort. Discuss online fraud with your family. Equip them with knowledge. If you receive a letter or email about identity protection following a data breach, verify it by contacting the company directly, rather than through the provided link or number.Financial faithfulness today includes digital vigilance. But there's no need for fear. By taking these simple steps, you can walk confidently, knowing you're stewarding God's resources with care.A Tool for Wise Stewardship: The FaithFi AppLooking for a practical way to manage your money with wisdom and peace of mind?

    As Texans rally to support flood victims, state Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating a GoFundMe campaign that his office says may be taking advantage of their generosity. Paxton issued a warning letter on Monday to Tray Coppola, the organizer of an unverified GoFundMe campaign, because of concerns that it may be a scam targeting those affected by recent floods in Texas. In other news, Dallas officials think they can meet the city's mandate of having at least 4,000 police officers in four years, though their hiring goals rely on a plan that the City Council voted to scale back months ago. The plan includes hiring 350 new officers over 12 months starting this fall and 400 new officers each following year until 2029; the stock of Veritex Holdings soared 20% on Monday, after the Dallas-based bank agreed to a nearly $2 billion buyout by Huntington Bancshares, a Midwest regional banking powerhouse with ambitions to deepen its Texas footprint; and Walmart is adding yet another store to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but this one will come in a more compact size. The massive retailer is set to begin construction on a “Neighborhood Market” this fall in Mesquite and to complete the site in late summer of 2026. Learn more about your ad choices.

    US-Präsident Trump will der Ukraine nun doch neue Waffen liefern, finanziert von der NATO. Gleichzeitig droht er Russlands Präsident Putin und Ländern, die ihn unterstützen, mit 100-Prozent-Zöllen, falls Moskau den Krieg nicht innerhalb von 50 Tagen beendet. Zweifel sind angebracht, dass Trump seine hart wirkende Haltung gegenüber Putin auch durchhält, betont Stefan Niemann. Er fasst die Reaktionen auf Trumps Ultimatum zusammen, beleuchtet einen Personalwechsel in der ukrainischen Regierung und spricht mit ARD-Hauptstadtkorrespondentin Anna Engelke. Sie hat Verteidigungsminister Boris Pistorius nach Washington begleitet - just an dem Tag, an dem der US-Präsident seine neue Linie verkündete. Anna berichtet über das Treffen von Pistorius mit seinem Amtskollegen Pete Hegseth. Dabei ging es nicht nur um die Unterstützung für die Ukraine und welche Kosten Deutschland übernimmt, sondern auch um die Frage, ob die USA in Deutschland stationierte Soldaten abziehen. Ein enger Vertrauter von Pistorius ist Generalmajor Christian Freuding. Er hat jüngst die Ukraine besucht und beschreibt die Lage im Interview mit Host Kai Küstner als sehr angespannt. Die russischen Streitkräfte hätten ihre Angriffstaktiken weiterentwickelt und ihre Drohnenproduktion ausgebaut, erklärt der künftige Inspekteur des Heeres. Themen des Interviews sind auch die Lieferung von Flugabwehrraketen, weitreichenden Waffen und die Bedrohung durch Russland in den kommenden Jahren. Mit Blick auf die Abschreckung hätten die Europäer „noch einige Hausaufgaben zu erledigen“ - auch im Bereich Personal. In der Debatte über die Wehrpflicht in Deutschland macht der Leiter des Ukraine-Stabs im BMVg klar: „Ich denke, einer liberalen Gesellschaft steht das gut zu Gesicht, wenn wir zunächst diesen freiwilligen Charakter des Dienstes für die Gesellschaft, für die Streitkräfte, für unsere freiheitliche Ordnung auf diesem Weg verfolgen.“ Lob und Kritik bitte an: streitkraefte@ndr.de Interview mit Generalmayor Christian Freuding: https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/audio-240034.html Interview mit Militärhistoriker Sönke Neitzel: https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/interview-neitzel-wehrdienst-100.html 11KM - der tagesschau Podcast mit Rebecca Barth Kiew unter Beschuss: Putins Drohnen, Trumps Versprechen https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:ae7d4cdbd947dd88/ Alle Folgen von “Streitkräfte und Strategien”: https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/podcast2998.html Podcast-Tipp: Legion - House of Scam https://1.ard.de/Legion_HouseOfScam?cp=sus

This glorious new world also includes playing every retro game ever on your phone, thanks to emulators like Delta and PPSSPP and the Backbone controller, which led to a nostalgic dive into the classic soundtracks of Mega Man 2 and Wipeout XL. This all culminated in a personal victory: conquering all 4,678 boards in Mahjong Titan+, freeing us from our porcelain thrones.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
