On today's Flyover Conservatives Show, we sit down with Dr. Troy Spurrill to discuss the health stories raising major questions across America — from sleep, stress, and HRV to RFK Jr.'s comments on vaccines, autism, and the Hepatitis B shot, plus the shocking report of an NIH Ebola expert allegedly caught smuggling dangerous pathogens. Dr. Spurrill breaks down why so many healthcare workers are frustrated with the current system, what functional medicine looks like, how parents can ask better questions, and why sleep may be one of the most overlooked keys to healing. This conversation covers medical freedom, Big Pharma, RFK Jr., gain-of-function concerns, sleep tracking, REM sleep, deep sleep, and the growing movement to restore common sense, clean data, and personal responsibility in healthcare.TO WATCH ALL FLYOVER CONTENT: www.theflyoverapp.com Follow and Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFlyoverConservativesShow To Schedule A Time To Talk To Dr. Dr. Kirk Elliott Go To ▶ https://flyovergold.comOr Call 720-605-3900 ► Receive your FREE 52 Date Night Ideas Playbook to make date night more exciting, go to www.prosperousmarriage.comDr. Troy Spurrill is the founder and CEO of Synapse Center for Health and Healing.  He started Synapse over 26 years ago with a vision to bring an integrative approach to healthcare through functional medicine, making Synapse an internationally known center for true health.He received a Bachelor's of Science in Molecular Biology from the University of Manitoba, and a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University.  He has extensive training in Functional Neurology, Nutrition, and Applied Kinesiology.

He also admitted to previously lying about his Chinese Communist Party membership and government lab affiliations. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four months in prison, a $500 fine, supervised release, and immediate deportation.Let's go through the details together.

John Bolton, Vincent Munster, Claude Kwe, Karmelo Anthony, and the war powers resolution headline today's A.M. Update. Trump blasts House Republicans for passing a war powers resolution mid-Iran negotiations, but Aaron floats a take he cannot shake: the vote might actually be Trump's exit ramp out of a deal that was never going to happen. John Bolton pleads guilty to one count of retaining national security information and agrees to $2.25 million in restitution, and Aaron questions whether that counts as the scalp DOJ's critics were hoping for. Two NIH researchers, Vincent Munster and Claude Kwe, are charged with smuggling 113 vials of monkeypox through Detroit Metro Airport after lying to customs agents, and Brooke Rollins confirms a new world screwworm detection in Zavala County, Texas. YouTuber Jesse Ridgeway announces he and his wife terminated their pregnancy after a Down syndrome diagnosis, and Aaron does not pull punches. The AOTMA segment covers a listener's plans to create a crisis Bible for the suicidal, nuclear family month spreading to Tennessee, Alabama, and Arkansas, the two-tiered justice system, SNAP cards being used at fast food restaurants in Michigan, and a candid update on the show's distribution struggles.

Stacy has descended a new rabbit hole that makes this episode even more exciting than usual; however, it's a Cultural Blindspot so she's forced to wait to share even though it's become her LIFE. Speaking of holes, Eric continues to recover from his dental surgery with his tooth hole intact. He and “the Girlfriend” did something perhaps no one has ever done, they crashed into a bird enroute home from Veranda Beach – a traumatizing experience all around. On the same ride he realized his car's data center wasn't working thus begins “The early Morning Plight of the Chevy Blazer.” Other than Mexican food and avoiding grocery shopping Stacy's highlight in banana Laffy Taffy (which leads to a conversation about the excellent candy selection at Dollarama in Canada. For their CBS (cultural blindspots), not to be confused with IBS, Stacy finally gets to discuss the cultural phenomenon that is the true crime documentary. From MacKenzie Shirilla to Elizabeth Smart with Moriah Wilson for good measure, Stacy is hooked! To redeem herself she watches What Ever Happened to Baby Jane which essentially had a fictional true crime plot with the iconic real-life rivals Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. It was a wild ride and like no other day at the beach! Perhaps inspired by his trip to Canada, Eric watched Strange Brew, a precursor to movies like Wayne's World. To balance out the shenanigans he also watched GlenGarry Glen Ross which featured an A-list cast including our old pals Al Pacino and Jack Lemmon. He gave both movies two thumbs sideways. As for the topic of the week, it was trivia time, a surprisingly fun time to learn they know nothing!

For centuries, the world has been sold a myth that Southern cornbread was born out of European hospitality and plantation romance.In reality, the true architects were enslaved Black women. They used the culinary engineering of West African fufu to transform a cheap ration of raw cornmeal into a survival fuel that outsmarted the South.Sources:High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America by Jessica B.

America turns 250 this year, and the story of how it learned to make things starts in one stone building on the Blackstone River. In Part 1 of our three-part series on 250 years of American manufacturing, Scott Paul tours Old Slater Mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, with Park Ranger Allison Horrocks. They trace how Samuel Slater carried England's guarded textile technology to America in his head, how Moses Brown and William Almy financed the first successful water-powered cotton mill, why the Blackstone River Valley became the country's first industrial corridor, and the human cost — including child labor — behind the birth of the factory system.

In this unique “history from below," Destination Elsewhere: Displaced Persons and Their Quest to Leave Postwar Europe (Cornell University Press, 2021) chronicles encounters between displaced persons in Europe and the Allied agencies who were tasked with caring for them after the Second World War. The struggle to define who was a displaced person and who was not was a subject of intense debate and deliberation among humanitarians, international law experts, immigration planners, and governments. What has not adequately been recognized is that displaced persons also actively participated in this emerging refugee conversation. Displaced persons endured war, displacement, and resettlement, but these experiences were not defined by passivity and speechlessness. Instead, they spoke back, creating a dialogue that in turn helped shape the modern idea of the refugee.  As Ruth Balint shows, what made a good or convincing story at the time tells us much about the circulation of ideas about the war, the Holocaust, and the Jews. Those stories depict the emerging moral and legal distinction between economic migrants and political refugees. They tell us about the experiences of women and children in the face of new psychological and political interventions into the family. Stories from displaced persons also tell us something about the enduring myth of the new world for people who longed to leave the old.  Balint focuses on those persons whose storytelling skills became a major strategy for survival and escape out of the displaced persons' camps and out of the Europe. Their stories are brought to life in Destination Elsewhere, alongside a new history of immigration, statelessness, and the institution of the postwar family.  Ruth Balint is Associate Professor of History at University of New South Wales. She is the author of Troubled Waters and coauthor of Smuggled. Geraldine Gudefin is a modern Jewish historian researching Jewish migrations, family life, and legal pluralism. She is currently a Visiting Scholar at the Centre for Asian Legal Studies at the National University of Singapore, and is completing a book titled An Impossible Divorce? East European Jews and the Limits of Legal Pluralism in France, 1900-1939. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

By the end of the 1880s, Dunbar was one of the most respected and influential members of Portland's business community, and a member of the Arlington Club. But all was not well with him. It's not clear what happened to push Dunbar over the edge into industrial-scale criminal enterprise. It may have been the death of his wife. It may also have been the influence of Nat Blum, a flamboyant cigar-store owner who was a junior partner in Merchants Steamship Co. Or maybe he was criminally inclined all along, believing on a philosophical level that the U.S. government had no right to tell him what he could and could not do with his steamships. Or, maybe he just hated waste. After all, nobody in Portland was buying shiploads of Chinese goods; each time one of his steamships left Portland, loaded with grain bound for buyers in China, it had to sail back home in ballast. Not only was the return trip wasted, but Dunbar had to pay draymen to load and unload the ballast rocks that would keep the ship stable and safe. We can imagine him thinking about this: What cargo could I bring from China to Portland, on the return voyages, after bringing wheat from Portland to China? And we can imagine him realizing that there were two cargoes that would be extremely lucrative for him: People, and opium.

Negligent Discharge Friday. Michael now has nunchucks. We're accepting name suggestions. Two names. Because there are two of them. We got into Iran. The strike on the elementary school. Outdated intelligence. The difference between owning a mistake and talking around it. The authorized use of military force and how every administration since 9/11 has abused it. The draft being floated by a president who dodged Vietnam with bone spurs. Gaza and how you fight an enemy embedded in a civilian population. Mandatory service and why two years of serving something bigger than yourself might fix a lot of what's broken. Then Snowden. Hero, villain, or somewhere in between. The surveillance state we already live in. The Patriot Act being one of the most unpatriotic things ever passed. AI deepfakes that take two days and $40 to build. A woman grieving the retirement of her AI boyfriend. And a guy in Kenya getting arrested trying to smuggle 2,200 ants in test tubes through an airport. Enjoy.

Anime is everywhere now. Streaming platforms, cinema screens, fashion, music, TikTok, gaming. But it didn't arrive in the West through studios, marketing campaigns, or corporate strategy.It arrived through fans.In this bumper-length episode of Geekstorians, Dave uncovers the real, messy, rebellious story of how anime travelled from post-war Japan to British living rooms and American college basements. It's a journey that begins with lone animators and wartime propaganda films, explodes into giant-robot fever, and eventually spreads across the globe through mail networks, tape-trading rings, fan-subtitling groups, Channel 4's late-night experiments, the chaos of SMTV: Live… and one film that hit like a cinematic meteor: Akira.This is the tale of the people who carried anime by hand, copying tapes at 3am, mailing fanzines in brown envelopes, hosting screenings in overheated hotel rooms, building early websites on dial-up, and refusing to let shows like Gundam, Yamato and Macross slip into obscurity.It's the hidden history of how a scattered, passionate, wildly inventive fandom reshaped global pop culture, long before the industry realised the world was watching.If you enjoy the episode, don't forget to follow, rate, and share Geekstorians.

Welcome to The Reel Schmooze with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman and host Amanda Borschel-Dan, where we bring you all the entertainment news and film reviews a Jew can use. We update that last week's main movie, "Holding Liat," is now playing in 20 locations throughout North America. Then we hear a "Jangle" about unabashed Zionist Michael Rapaport, who was just in the news for his participation in "The Traitors." The first "Schmoovie" of the week is "It Was Just an Accident" by Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi. Nominated for two Academy Awards, it is playing internationally at major arthouse theaters. The premise is roughly based on Panahi's stints in Iranian prisons for his films exposing the oppressive regime. It includes a ragtag group trying to assess if a kidnapped man is indeed their interrogator/torturer. Though the set-up sounds grim, there is plenty of Panahi's trademark wit to keep you thinking -- and chuckling. The second film discussed is 2015's "Taxi," which was produced during a period in which Panahi was barred from creating films. Smuggled out and screened at the Cannes film festival, the movie takes place in a borrowed taxi and includes an uncredited cast of everyday Iranians -- or are they? Check out the two "not bad" films (our highest mark) in this week's The Reel Schmooze. The Reel Schmooze is produced by Ari Schlacht and can be found wherever you get your podcasts.

In this unforgettable episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, Pastor Doug and Rabbi Pesach sit down with Dr. Michael Brawan of Kenya and Rev. Adam Hajj Muhammad of Somalia, a former imam whose decision to follow Jesus cost him almost everything. Adam describes his childhood in a radically devout Muslim family, his rise as a respected Islamic judge and mosque builder, and the moment a divine encounter shattered everything he thought he knew. From that point on, his life became a dangerous walk of faith.  Adam shares how his public declaration of Christian faith triggered a violent backlash: his mother and wives were murdered, early converts were slaughtered, and there was a price on his head. Dr. Brawan recounts the extraordinary rescue operation that smuggled Adam out of Somalia in a coffin, and Adam explains why he later chose to return and plant underground churches despite the constant threat of torture and death. Recorded in Jerusalem while leading an African Christian delegation through Israel, this conversation shines a piercing light on the brutal persecution of Christians in Africa — and on the kind of courageous faith that refuses to back down.

White House Border Czar Tom Homan says the Trump administration has thus far located 62,000 children who were illegally smuggled into the United States. Homan alleges that the Biden administration lost track of 300,000 minors. He says those children were smuggled into the country during the previous administration, and says the Trump administration has been actively searching for them.President Trump became the first U.S. president to host the Kennedy Center Honors, celebrating artists from Sylvester Stallone to Gloria Gaynor and KISS. At the event, officials praised the arts as a unifying force, while Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell highlighted new fiscal discipline. Trump also weighed in on the Netflix–Warner Brothers merger, calling it a major market shift.Lawmakers are gearing up to vote on the defense policy for 2026. This year's bill codifies 15 of President Trumps war-department related executive orders, including stripping the Pentagon of DEI, CRT and climate initiatives.

3. SURVIVAL DURING THE SIEGE OF JERUSALEM Guest: Professor Barry Strauss Before the siege of Jerusalem was sealed, two foundational groups fled: Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakai, smuggled out to Yavneh to establish Rabbinic Judaism, and the followers of Jesus, who went to Pella. Titus focused the Roman assault on the city's weakest point, the northern wall. The overconfident Romans were repeatedly frustrated by Jewish defenders using effective irregular tactics, including raids and undermining siege equipment. 1698

Deadly pathogens, compromised institutions, and a threat straight out of Revelation — are we prepared? Tara dives into the alarming cases of Chinese researchers caught smuggling weaponized pathogens into the U.S., including deadly blights and genetically modified ringworm. With multiple arrests tied to the University of Michigan, this episode examines the potential risks to America's food supply, national security, and public health. Experts like Gordon Chang warn of systemic vulnerabilities in U.S. universities and visa programs, highlighting the dangers of foreign infiltration while negotiations and trade deals continue. In this episode, Tara explores the shocking reality of biological threats being smuggled into the United States by foreign researchers: Smuggling Cases Uncovered: At least six Chinese nationals associated with the University of Michigan have been arrested this year for attempting to bring dangerous pathogens into the U.S., including weaponized blight and ringworm. Potential Devastation: These pathogens pose catastrophic risks to America's agriculture and public health, potentially causing mass crop failure, livestock destruction, neurological damage, reproductive disorders, and death. Systemic Vulnerabilities: U.S. universities and visa programs are under scrutiny for allowing foreign researchers access to sensitive research positions, with concerns about espionage, intellectual property theft, and bioweapon development. Warnings Ignored: Experts, including Gordon Chang, emphasize that the infiltration of foreign nationals into STEM programs is not adequately addressed, and doubling visa programs could exacerbate the threat. Global and Moral Implications: While trade negotiations continue, the episode raises urgent questions about America's preparedness, the integrity of research institutions, and the potential consequences if these pathogens escaped containment. This episode uncovers a hidden threat to national security, blending modern science, espionage, and global politics in a chilling warning reminiscent of apocalyptic literature. bioweapons, China, University of Michigan, pathogen smuggling, agricultural security, food supply, U.S. national security, genetically modified organisms, ringworm, blight, Chinese nationals, visa students, STEM espionage, Gordon Chang, public health, FBI, pandemic threat, Tara Show, Revelation comparison, U.S. government oversight, foreign infiltration

The allegations surrounding Prince Andrew and the alleged smuggling of massage therapists into Buckingham Palace stem from multiple reports dating back to the early 2000s. One of the most circulated claims came from Monique Giannelloni, a massage therapist who said she was called to Buckingham Palace by Ghislaine Maxwell in 2000 to perform a massage on the Duke of York. According to her account, she was brought in through a side entrance without formal clearance or security vetting — something she and others described as a serious breach of royal protocol. The story suggested that Maxwell used her social access to facilitate the encounter, which many later interpreted as part of a wider pattern of lax boundaries between Prince Andrew, Epstein, and their shared social network.Another account came from massage therapist Emma Gruenbaum, who said she provided legitimate sports therapy sessions to Prince Andrew in 2005 but described the Duke's behavior as “inappropriate,” including requests for nudity, intrusive personal questions, and a generally uncomfortable atmosphere. While none of these reports have led to formal charges, they contributed to the growing public perception of Andrew's entitlement and blurred judgment in his private dealings, particularly in relation to his friendship with Maxwell and EpsteinBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
