Alex Stumpf breaks down the Carmen Mlodzinski situation after the Pirates placed him on the restricted list when he communicated he was not ready to pitch out of the bullpen. Mlodzinski has made it clear he wants to be a starting pitcher, and he pitched well enough this season to have a real case. But with Jared Jones returning, Braxton Ashcraft forcing his way into the rotation, and the Pirates badly needing middle relief help, Mlodzinski was moved back into a bulk bullpen role. This episode of OffBeat looks at why the situation matters, the ripple effects on Cam Sanders and the bullpen, what it means for Braxton Ashcraft's innings, and why Mlodzinski's response could shape how his future is viewed in Pittsburgh and possibly around the league.

For days, activists have been protesting terrible conditions at an ICE facility in New Jersey. In response, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is now threatening to pull Customs and Border Protection officers from airports in sanctuary cities, which could halt international flights to them. As even Fox News is pointing out, this would cause massive disruptions. Indeed, it would likely deal another big blow to GOP midterm chances. Yet the whole saga captures how Trump governance seeks to deliberately stoke searing tensions between MAGA and blue America. We talked to Nayna Gupta, policy director for the American Immigration Council, which just released a blueprint for a saner system. We discuss the worsening situation in Newark, why Mullin's threat is simultaneously deranged and comical, and how the fascist advisers around Trump see violent conflict between MAGA and blue America as a good and desirable outcome.

Retired agent Larry Guerin reviews a health care fraud investigation involving an emergency medical technician (EMT) who stole Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protected patient information, such as Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, and phone numbers, and then tried to sell it back to managers of private ambulance companies. The case would have been only the second prosecution against an individual under the new statute. However, the case ended tragically before the subject was officially charged. Larry Guerin served in the FBI for 28 years.  Check out episode show notes, photos, and related articles: Join my Reader Team to get the FBI Reading Resource - Books about the FBI, written by FBI agents, the 20 clichés about the FBI Reality Checklist, and keep up to date on the FBI in books, TV, and movies via my monthly email.

The Iran crisis is in its 80th day. Right now, roughly 1,500 vessels laden with oil, natural gas, fertilizers, and oil products sit trapped in the Persian Gulf by a dual US-Iranian blockade. One thing is certain: prolonging this standoff for another 80 days risks triggering profound global economic consequences. Global oil inventories are depleting fast and are projected to hit critical levels by the end of June.  For the Trump administration—caught between accepting Iranian power over the Strait of Hormuz or risking a major military escalation—the path of least resistance may be to keep maintaining a naval blockade of Iranian oil sales to China. The stakes escalated further this month when Washington sanctioned Hengli Petrochemical—China's second-largest independent refiner—prompting Beijing to retaliate with unprecedented blocking rules against US sanctions. How will this high-stakes standoff play out in the coming weeks? And how will the worsening US-China rivalry reshape the Middle East conflict? Today, host Daniel Sternoff sits down with Cory Combs, Head of Supply Chain and Critical Minerals Research at Trivium China. Cory leads Trivium's cross-cutting research on climate, energy, and industrial policy, advising both governments and multinational corporations. He joins us to break down the volatile triangular relationship between Washington, Beijing, and Tehran, and what it means for global energy security and the Strait of Hormuz.  Credits: Hosted by Daniel Sternoff.

At first glance, most rigid endoscopes look pretty much the same. So why can some be steam sterilized while others absolutely can't? On this episode of "SPD Fact Check," Kurt Audette, Clinical Specialist at KARL STORZ, helps us look beyond the surface and into the complex design features that determine how rigid endoscopes should be reprocessed. From understanding how optics respond to temperature changes to why light post adapters should almost always be removed before sterilization, Kurt connects the anatomy of the scope to the realities of SPD workflow.

Iran responds to the U.S. peace proposal with no mention of its nuclear program, as Netanyahu draws a hard red line on enriched uranium and Trump shrugs off the Fort Knox audit question in his Sharyl Attkisson interview. Spencer Pratt keeps gaining ground in the LA mayor's race as Karen Bass ducks a second debate, redistricting continues breaking Republicans' way in Virginia and Tennessee, and Wes Moore refuses to give a straight answer when asked about gender ideology and his own son.

The focus then shifts to primary election results, highlighting strong performances by candidates endorsed by Donald Trump, including Vivek Ramaswamy winning the Ohio governor primary, reinforcing Trump's influence heading into the midterms. “Kim on a Whim” spotlights viral reporting from Nick Shirley in Cuba, describing blackouts, failing hospitals, and daily hardship under communism, which the hosts contrast with rising socialist rhetoric in U.S. politics.

The Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz: The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed as a standoff persists between the US blockade and Iranian vessels. While Iran has the patience for a long conflict, the US is pressured by midterm elections and oil prices.
