    The world is still in mourning following this weekend's terror attack targeting a Hanukkah celebration on Australia's Bondi Beach, leaving at least fifteen dead and many others wounded. It was the worst attack targeting Jews since the Hamas October 7th massacre that triggered Israel's war in Gaza. In a country with stringent gun laws, many people have wondered how this occurred. It's also raised questions about whether countries are doing enough to address antisemitism. Jewish and Israel advocate, and Founder of Mor Media Group, Mor Greenberg,  joins the Rundown to discuss how Australia and other nations need to do more to protect Jewish people, and she shares her personal connection to some of the victims of this weekend's horrible attack. The push to make more prescription drugs in the U.S. is accelerating, with new pharmaceutical manufacturing investments now expanding in various states including North Carolina. After years of shortages tied to overseas production, the Trump administration is leaning on incentives, tariffs, and faster approvals to bring drugmaking back home. FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary joins the Rundown to explain how quickly new facilities can come online, and what it could mean for supply stability and drug prices.  Plus, commentary by a former investment banker and author of ‘You Will Own Nothing,' Carol Roth.

    The Trump administration's “deferred resignation program” this year led to more than 150,000 employees leaving their jobs, in exchange for months of paid leave. But for many of those who took the DRP, the offer came with an added opportunity. Thousands also qualified for early retirement. Federal News Network's Drew Friedman spent the last several months conducting interviews, reviewing documents, and gathering data about federal retirement processing. She found that the DRP helped lead to a massive and unexpected surge in applications, now inundating the government's retirement systems.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brien Lundin argues we're watching the classic bull-market baton pass (silver + miners leading gold), while Jeff Christian breaks down what the data actually shows behind silver's explosive run above $60, and why volatility could cut both ways in the weeks ahead. Segment 1 & 2 - Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter and host of the New Orleans Investment Conference, joins the KE Report Weekend Show to break down his massive year-end issue - covering macro trends, metals and market outlooks, dozens of junior mining updates, and five new stock recommendations - while explaining why he sees silver and mining equities leading gold into a potentially strong seasonal early-2026 rally driven by the broader “debasement trade” and rising liquidity across commodities.

    On today's program, the Department of Justice is suing the founder of Life Surge, Joe Johnson, for his alleged part in a scheme to cheat the government out of over $46 million in taxes through abusive bargain sale transactions. We'll take a look. And, a new report reveals the final moments of missionaries Alex and Serena Wurm before their plane crashed on a trip to deliver aid to Jamaica. We'll have details. Plus, two reports that detail reasons for cautious optimism. One shows that the decline of religion in America has stalled. Another, that Christian giving in America is on the rebound. But first, abuse lawsuits are piling up against Pastor Greg Laurie and his Harvest Christian Fellowship, bringing the total number of lawsuits to 12. The original lawsuit was filed in September by two men claiming that Paul Havsgaard abused them at a children's shelter in Bucharest, Romania. Allegations include children being tied to radiators, being made to kneel down on walnut shells, being touched inappropriately, and being “pimped out” for sex. The number of litigants has now risen to 12. The law firm representing the survivors said in a news release in September that it expects 23 former residents of the children's home to bring complaints. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth.

    María creyó antes de ver. Su fe se adelantó nueve meses a la evidencia. Sin embargo, muchos esperan ver resultados antes de confiar, cuando la fe bíblica siempre da el primer paso sin garantías visibles. De modo que hoy sigue el ejemplo de esta joven que, sin entenderlo todo, dijo: “Hágase conmigo conforme a tu palabra”. Además, la fe que se adelanta al milagro no es impulsiva; es obediente. Surge en corazones que escuchan, se rinden y responden sin exigir explicaciones. Así pues, piensa en una área de tu vida donde Dios te está llamando a confiar antes de ver: una relación que necesita restauración, una decisión que requiere valentía o un sueño que parece imposible. Atrévete a creer antes del resultado. Los milagros suelen comenzar con un “sí” que honra a Dios más que a la lógica visible. La Biblia dice en Lucas 1:45: “Bienaventurada la que creyó, porque se cumplirá lo que le fue dicho de parte del Señor”. (RV1960).

    Women, Water And ROI: Turning Lost Hours Into Community Wealth

    Around the world, women and girls walk long distances every day to fetch water, losing education, income, and safety in the process. On this global episode of The Nonprofit Show, we welcome Shilpa Alva, founder and executive director of Surge for Water, beaming in late at night from Samarkand, Uzbekistan. From the first moments, Shilpa reframes water as a gendered economic issue, not just an infrastructure problem. As Shilpa puts it, “The water crisis is a woman's crisis” — and it is also a profound injustice baked into race, gender, and geography.Shilpa walks us through Surge's “water plus” model: safe water, sanitation, hygiene, and menstrual health, all rooted in a woman centered, community owned approach. Surge does not parachute in solutions; it backs local leaders in rural Uganda, Indonesia, and Haiti so they can design and manage what their communities truly need. For nonprofit executives, the business implications are huge: the World Bank estimates a twenty one to one return for every dollar invested in comprehensive water access, yet most funders still treat water as a narrow infrastructure line item instead of a generational prosperity strategy.The conversation then moves into power, money, and the shifting landscape of international aid. With government funding cuts shaking the sector, organizations that once relied on large public grants are now competing for the same corporate and individual donors as smaller NGOs. Surge has navigated this by diversifying its revenue model between the United States and Dubai, and by building creative fundraising events that attract sectors like design and architecture into the water conversation.Shilpa is candid about decolonial practice and the uncomfortable truth that international NGOs are part of a historic power structure. Surge actively works to reduce that power imbalance so local partners shape solutions and control implementation. SurgeForWater.org shows us all how to align mission, funding strategy, equity, and storytelling. 00:00:00 Global welcome and introducing Shilpa Alva from Uzbekistan 00:02:23 What Surge for Water does and the water plus model 00:04:03 Why the global water crisis is a women centered injustice 00:07:01 Lost hours, education, and income cost of water collection 00:08:52 Respecting local roles while shortening the walk and reducing harm 00:11:37 Making distant donors care storytelling and climate connections 00:13:13 Creative events and interior design partners as a fundraising engine 00:14:50 Aid cuts, USAID shifts, and new competition for nonprofit funding 00:15:52 Decolonial practice and sharing power with local leaders 00:21:18 How Surge builds trust with next generation donors and partners 00:22:46 Metrics versus stories choosing humanity while still tracking results 00:27:23 Funding wins, 2026 expansion plans, and Shilpa's hopeful vision #TheNonprofitShow #WaterJustice #WomenInLeadershipFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

In this episode, Dr. Steven Stack, Secretary of Kentucky's Cabinet for Health and Family Services, joins us to unpack what's driving the surge, why waning vaccination rates matter, and how misinformation is complicating public health response efforts.  Dr. Stack, ASTHO member and former ASTHO president, explains the cyclical nature of pertussis, how the pandemic disrupted typical disease patterns, and why the current spike is more severe than expected. He discusses the heartbreaking reality that none of the infants who died were vaccinated, and neither were their mothers, despite well-established evidence that maternal vaccination can provide newborns with lifesaving early protection.Creating Shared Vision and Governance for Data Modernization in Vermont | ASTHODon't Panic!

    “If you get on cruise control and let everything start festering, it's gonna find a way to get out somehow…everybody makes mistakes, I made one and I apologized for it and moved on, and I'm better for it now.” Desmond Bane In one of the most authentic and real conversations we've had on The Pivot Podcast, Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder sit with Orlando Magic star Desmond Bane — a player whose journey is as powerful as his jump shot and deep roots that have grounded him since day one. With humility at his core in all he does, Bane's talents have often been overshadowed by his quiet demeanor but this off season his value was at the forefront, when Orlando traded for the young star solidifying his place as one of the top players in the NBA. Bane opens up about the early adversity that fueled his rise, the overlooked beginnings that pushed him to grind harder than the next guy, and the deep bond he built with Ja Morant in Memphis — a brotherhood formed through shared battles, growth, and the pressures of leading a young franchise. Now, after a blockbuster trade to Orlando, Bane talks candidly about embracing a new chapter and the responsibility of being a cornerstone for a young Magic squad. He opens up on how it took a little while trying to find his place in a new arena and gives context to the uncharacteristic game ejection early on, and shares what one thing clicked that has fueled his explosive run, including his back-to-back 37-point performances that set the tone for what's becoming a breakout year in his new uniform and has his team 4-0 in the NBA Cup. Raised by his grandparents in the tight-knit community of Richmond, Indiana, Bane reflects on how small-town values, discipline, and love shaped the competitor and man he is today. It wasn't an easy path and the young star reveals his personal anxiety battles and how he redefined his path. He talks about the pain of loss and how his wife and kids helped him redefine purpose after grieving from so much change. And in a rare pivotal moment on the show, Desmond flips the conversation to Ryan, Channing and Fred, asking them how life is for them and how they have handled certain changes....truly a powerful part of the episode. Authentic, honest, and inspiring, this conversation captures Desmond Bane at a pivotal moment — reflecting on where he came from, honoring the people who raised him, and stepping boldly into the player he's proving he can be.
