In this explosive episode, we break down the staggering national security threat unfolding at America's border — including 18,000 known terrorists released, 35,000 narcoterrorists watch‑listed, and cartel assassins strolling into the U.S. to claim benefits. Plus: the shocking story of Phantasma, an MS-13 kill‑squad leader who walked into Biden's America, got a driver's license, and settled comfortably in California. We also dive into:
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. Writers who contributed to today's program include Kim Roberts, Tony Mator, Daniel Ritchie, Isaac Wood, Bob Smietana, Jessica Eturralde, and Makella Knowles. Until next time, may God bless you.
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).

Kentucky is experiencing its largest spike in whooping cough cases since 2012, an alarming rise that has already claimed the lives of three infants in the past year. 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!

Edwin Chen is the founder and CEO of Surge AI, the company that teaches AI what's good vs. what's bad, powering frontier labs with elite data, environments, and evaluations. Surge surpassed $1 billion in revenue with under 100 employees last year, completely bootstrapped—the fastest company in history to reach this milestone. Before founding Surge, Edwin was a research scientist at Google, Facebook, and Twitter and studied mathematics, computer science, and linguistics at MIT.We discuss:1. How Surge reached over $1 billion in revenue with fewer than 100 people by obsessing over quality2. The story behind how Claude Code got so good at coding and writing3. The problems with AI benchmarks and why they're pushing AI in the wrong direction4. How RL environments are the next frontier in AI training5. Why Edwin believes we're still a decade away from AGI6. Why taste and human judgment shape which AI models become industry leaders7. His contrarian approach to company building that rejects Silicon Valley's “pivot and blitzscale” playbook8.

Yet again, Washington's Democratic Socialist representative Sean Scott wants to tax businesses into oblivion with a statewide payroll tax—because apparently $9.4 billion in new taxes this year wasn't enough. While moderate Bellevue Mayor Lynn Robinson warns this will be "detrimental to everybody," Scott thinks he can squeeze $3 billion more from the corporations that actually fund everything in this state. What could go wrong?We break down how Seattle's payroll tax already pushed 10,000 jobs to Bellevue, where businesses can operate without getting fleeced at every turn. Meanwhile, Scott—a proud member of Democratic Socialists of America—argues we need to "spread the wealth around" while completely ignoring that these same businesses provide the tax base that funds his beloved social programs. Meta just declined to expand in Bellevue this week. Coincidence?Is anyone surprised that socialism's track record of spectacular failure doesn't deter these ideologues? How long before Washington becomes California 2.0 with a taxpayer exodus every 30 minutes? Subscribe and hit the bell—because this trainwreck is just getting started.
In this episode, Lisa welcomes Brian Blase, President of Paragon Health Institute, to break down the evolving state of Obamacare and what enhanced subsidies mean for the future of healthcare in the United States.

Blase examines why premiums remain high, how subsidies distort the market, and what real solutions could rein in spending while improving patient care.

“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.

Eric Criscuolo, Market Strategist at the NYSE, recaps a week marked by consolidation ahead of next week's Fed decision. After a strong post-Thanksgiving rally, the S&P 500 held above key moving averages, trading in a tight range near record highs as volatility compressed. Small caps outperformed late in the week, driven by thematic baskets tied to AI and robotics, even as rising global yields pressured equities. Crypto saw sharp swings, with Bitcoin reversing early losses to test resistance near its 20-day average. Markets close steady with attention turning to the Fed's rate cut outlook, economic projections, and major earnings on deck.
Mid-Atlantic - conversations about US, UK and world politics
In this episode, RoyField Brown revisits his Birmingham radio roots with an interview that blends the local and the political. Green Party councillor Julian Pritchard joins from his ward of Druids Heath and Monyhull, a place that even the most civic-minded Brummies might struggle to locate on a map. But that's the point. Pritchard has been trying to change that for over seven years, turning up, knocking doors, chasing bin collections, and campaigning for a more equitable form of regeneration that isn't developer-led and value-extractive. His success there is more than a hyper-local curiosity. It's part of a wider green moment.The conversation moves between the nitty-gritty of grassroots activism and the broader surge in national Green Party support, spurred in part by leader Zack Polanski's recent media breakthrough. Pritchard, a methodical campaigner, credits Polanski with articulating long-held Green values, on social justice and climate policy alike, with clarity and conviction. Unlike Labour's technocratic drift, the Greens now appear to be talking about transformation and redistribution, and crucially, they're being heard.As for Druids Heath, it's a case study in how regeneration can alienate when it doesn't centre residents. Pritchard pushes back against full demolition plans for the estate, highlighting the murky logic of “affordable housing” that may not be affordable at all. He's advocating for proper social housing, not policy euphemisms. Amid a national housing debate, the fate of Druids Heath could be a local test case with national implications.5 Selected Quotes"We need somebody like your leader who can grab the attention and articulate a vision, not just for now, but where we are going." — RoyField Brown"It's about changing systems and policies, not saying that everybody makes real choices." — Julian Pritchard"People felt taken for granted, and nobody did anything." — Julian Pritchard"This is trust us from the council that's delivered us equal pay liability, bankruptcy, Oracle disaster, yearlong bin strike..." — Julian Pritchard"To save the planet fairly, we've got to focus on both people and planet." — Julian PritchardFurther Reading & Links MentionedGreen Party UK – Official party siteZack Polanski's profile – London Assembly bioBirmingham Regeneration Plans – Birmingham City Council's regeneration proposal for Druids HeathShared Ownership vs. Social Rent Explained – Shelter UKPodcast Producer Connor Begley Hosted on Acast.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") are back in studio recapping USC's 29-10 victory over UCLA, capping a 9-3 season for the Men of Troy and a likely trip to San Antonio for the Alamo Bowl and an opportunity to win 10 games. With star wide receivers Makai Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane suspended for the first quarter for violating team rules, the offense struggled in the first half and only managed to put one touchdown on the board. Things picked up in the second half for USC, with the offense putting up points and the defense pitching another shutout, dashing UCLA's hopes of an upset bid in the Battle for Los Angeles. The guys breaks down the game, talking about how missing the top-2 receivers set the offense back in the first half and some of the defensive struggles that led to the Bruins taking the lead in a game for the first time in 40 days. After halftime quarterback Jayden Maiava settled in and found his two stars, Lemon for a 32-yard touchdown and Lane on a couple of crucial drive-extending catches. King Miller also ran well, finishing with 124 yards rushing, 42 receiving and two total touchdowns, earning him USC's player of the game. Finishing the regular season 9-3 is better than most expected, but in some ways it still feels like a disappointment with the opportunity to make the College Football Playoffs just a missed field goal at Illinois away. The guys take a look at the season as a whole and discuss why Lincoln Riley said this campaign was an important springboard towards the future success of this Trojan football team.
