On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the Justice Department is launching a federal grand jury investigation into former Obama administration officials accused of their role in 2016's Russia-gate. This legal move could lead to criminal charges against key Cabinet members from the Obama era, including James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey. President Barack Obama needs to be questioned for his role. Barack Obama is the central figure in uncovering the full scope of the Russia Collusion scandal and the attempt to undermine the Trump campaign and presidency. The Supreme Court does not grant him blanket immunity.  It offers a presumption of immunity, which could be challenged based on what the investigation reveals. Regardless, there is no immunity from criminal investigation or from being compelled to testify under oath—period.  Furthermore, In On Power, negative power is coercive and aims to suppress individual identity, liberty, and sovereignty, often exercised by authoritarian regimes that treat people as servants to their cause. Its goal is to dominate society through centralized, unchecked control, stripping individuals of free will, self-worth, and the human spirit. To maintain this grip, such regimes restrict speech, manipulate language, punish independent thought, and promote conformity and fanaticism over curiosity and independence. Lastly, Israel is being attacked and accused of a deep Zionistic rhetoric that Israel has special interests regarding the spread of Zionism. Isreal is defending itself and protecting the freedoms of Jews, Christians and non-radical Muslims who oppose the Radical-Islamic regimes.  Learn more about your ad choices.

  In this episode of the *Big Ideas for Smaller Government* series, host David Fran sits down with Jeremiah Mosteller, policy director for Americans for Prosperity, to explore the vast and complex Department of Defense (DoD). With a staggering $2 trillion budget and nearly three million military and civilian personnel, the DoD is one of the largest federal agencies. Together, they discuss the department's history, structure, and some surprising examples of wasteful spending, including $5 million spent on ineffective camouflage and $1,300 coffee cups used on Air Force cargo planes. Jeremiah highlights how better coordination and cutting excessive contracting could lead to significant taxpayer savings—up to $260 billion over ten years—without compromising national security. This in-depth conversation sheds light on the challenges and opportunities within the DoD, illustrating why reforming defense spending is crucial for reducing the federal deficit and making government more efficient. Listeners gain valuable insights into how strategic changes, such as reducing contractor reliance and improving procurement, could help save billions while ensuring our military remains well-equipped. Tune in to understand how thoughtful cuts in defense can contribute to a smaller, smarter government.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the Allied bombing of Dresden in February 1945 was a terror campaign targeting civilians in a non-military city, resulting in massive casualties via firestorms from British and U.S. air raids.  The modern hypocrisy from U.K. and French leaders, who pressure Israel over Gaza—blaming it for starvation caused by Hamas, demanding ceasefires, and threatening Palestinian state recognition—while ignoring their own countries' declines due to open borders and radical Islamists, and applying impossible standards to Israel that no nation, including the U.S, would accept for itself. Later, On Power is out in stores today! The core struggle in humanity, particularly in culture and government, is over power, which determines liberty and rights—this is the essence of the Revolutionary War, the Constitution, and ongoing battles in places like New York and Minneapolis, as well as globally.  America is uniquely better, founded as a blank slate without feudalism or other isms," as John Locke described, which makes it hated by Marxists in academia and the Democrat Party, along with political Islamists. These groups despise liberty, individuality, free will, merit, and success, seeking to divide America through racism, wokeism, non-assimilating immigration, and destroyed education systems. Everything they touch fails because they aim to destroy society, fundamentally transforming individuals into obedient servants of a ruling class. The Democrat Party embraces Marxism and Islamism, stealing free will by controlling groceries, housing, property, and accusing merit of racism.  Also,  Sen Chuck Schumer accuses Republicans of preventing poor people, people of color, and Democrats from voting and rejecting democracy. This is agitprop—negative language serving negative power, akin to Leninist and Marxist tactics—using slogans and half-truths to exploit grievances, subvert civil society, corrupt harmony, and manipulate populations by creating jealousies and hate, rather than fostering rational policy discussion or positive language that encourages debate and truth-seeking.

In Part II of The Rebrand Within series, we explored what it means to rebrand your relationships, not by cutting people off, but by realigning with the version of you that's evolving. Using the metaphor of a suitcase, we unpacked the emotional baggage we've been carrying, checked the pockets for subtle patterns and outdated dynamics, and intentionally repacked only what serves our next chapter. This episode was a reminder that rebranding is not rejection, but instead, it's refinement. It's about reassessing roles, boundaries, and energy exchanges in a way that honors growth. It is a reminder that sometimes, the most self-loving action you can take for yourself and others is to present yourself differently.

Join host Bryan Dawson, CEO of 1819 News, and investigative journalist Apryl Marie Fogel for a compelling episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, where fearless reporting meets unapologetic truth-telling. This episode dives into the heart of 1819 News' mission to hold the powerful accountable, no matter who they are, and exposes the challenges of delivering hard truths in a polarized world. The episode kicks off with a candid recounting of how Bryan and Apryl Marie first connected—spoiler: it wasn't exactly a warm introduction. Three years ago, as 1819 News emerged as a bold new media outlet, rumors swirled about its funding and intentions. Apryl Marie, then an independent journalist, was rumored to be writing a “hit piece” on the organization. A single phone call from Bryan, offering transparency (minus donor names), turned suspicion into a mutual respect that later proved pivotal. Apryl Marie's relentless questioning put Bryan in the hot seat, but her suggestion that Jeff Poor lead 1819 News' editorial team planted a seed that transformed the outlet's trajectory. Fast forward to the explosive Bubba Copeland story, where 1819 News faced national backlash for exposing a public figure's misconduct. While the media vilified 1819, Apryl Marie emerged as an unexpected ally, passionately defending their work on radio stations across Alabama. Her stance wasn't personal—it was about truth. This galvanizing moment solidified 1819's resolve to pursue fearless journalism, no matter the cost. Apryl Marie's investigative work takes center stage as she discusses her exposés on institutions like Samford University, where she uncovered a troubling disconnect between its Christian branding and DEI-driven practices. From professors promoting radical ideologies to programs undermining the faith-based values parents expect, Apryl Marie's reporting reveals how sacred institutions can betray trust. Bryan and Apryl Marie emphasize that their critiques stem from love for Samford's potential, not hate, and a desire to protect the next generation from ideological overreach. Tune in for an unfiltered look at the courage, conviction, and relentless pursuit of truth that define 1819 News. Whether it's taking on entrenched powers or navigating friendly fire, Bryan and Apryl Marie prove that doing what's right often means standing alone—until the truth prevails.

In this episode, I open up about one of the most complex and personal aspects of wealth building—understanding when enough is truly enough. After achieving every financial milestone I once dreamed of—paying off six-figure debt, reaching millionaire status, and building a $4M+ net worth—I still found myself chasing the next number. Why? Because “enough” kept changing.   I share insights from deeply personal experiences, pivotal conversations with my mother-in-law and behavioral psychologist, and journal prompts to help you define your own version of success. Whether you're just starting your financial journey or already well on your way, this episode will challenge how you think about progress, satisfaction, and legacy.     Episode Timeline & Highlights   [0:00] - Why “enough” is the hardest number to define [1:00] - Hitting financial freedom early—but still feeling like it's not enough [3:06] - The dopamine high of paying off $76,000 in debt [5:12] - The scoreboard mindset and its hidden cost [6:12] - Redefining success beyond money with wisdom from my mother-in-law [9:16] - Breaking free from limiting beliefs and embracing wealth adaptation [14:05] - How helping others became a deeper source of fulfillment [16:16] - Unpacking the emotional baggage behind our enough number [20:08] - A step-by-step framework for defining your personal “enough” [23:42] - Journal prompts to clarify what truly matters in your life [28:21] - Why defining “enough” for yourself is the most powerful financial move you can make     Key Takeaways   Enough Is a Decision, Not a Number – If your goals keep shifting, it's likely you're tying your worth or safety to an ever-moving financial target. Redefining Success Leads to Deeper Fulfillment – When you measure impact, time with family, or student outcomes instead of dollars, your purpose becomes clearer. Frameworks and Reflection Are Essential – Clearly defining your baseline, comfort, and aspirational “enough” levels can help you stay grounded and focused.       Quotables   “Enough isn't a number. It's actually a decision.”   “You adapt to wealth just like anything else in life. It becomes normal—so stop chasing the next high.”   “If you hit every financial goal and still feel behind, it's time to check in with what you're really after.”   “Money is a proxy for control, safety, and worth—but those needs can't be fixed with a bigger bank account alone.”     Links & Resources   Learn more or join BudgetDog Academy: https://budgetdog.com Book a strategy call with my team: https://budgetdog.com/academy My national bestseller, The Roadmap to Financial Freedom, supports Dravet Syndrome research: https://budgetdog.com/book       If this episode challenged your thinking or helped you clarify your goals, please rate, follow, and share it with someone else who needs to hear this message.

Together, we explore the roots of these fears, tracing them back to influential moments in his life and unveiling the shadows of the judge, martyr, and politician that have shaped his beliefs. As Sam opens up about the emotional wounds and expectations that have followed him since childhood, he discovers empowering insights and ways to challenge the narratives that have held him back. This heartfelt discussion offers listeners a window into one person's fight for self-acceptance amidst pressures for perfection, while encouraging us all to embrace our worthiness and prioritize self-care in our daily lives.   Thanks to the United States Marine Band and the following Artists from Artlist and Storyblocks Flint – Sunmonth, Daniel Pratt - Honest Thoughts cinematic-drama-sad-piano-and-clouds-of-strings-SBA Adam Dib - Up in the Sky Tomáš Herudek - Sound of Something Horrible Inon Zur - Searching in Shadow Shahead Mostafafar - Golden Diamond   Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue as performed by the United States Marine Band on July 10, 2018.

What does it truly mean to be a "helper"? In this episode of Thinking Christian's Prepped Series, Dr. James Spencer challenges common misconceptions surrounding the Hebrew word ezer, often translated as "helper" in Genesis 2:18. Moving beyond traditional hierarchical interpretations, James explores how ezer is used throughout the Old Testament, revealing its profound connection to strength, support, and indispensable aid—qualities that describe God Himself. He delves into various scholarly views, ultimately presenting a compelling case for ezer as a co-equal, mutual partner in God's mission. This episode will reshape your understanding of the male-female relationship, highlight the dignity and responsibility inherent in the ezer role, and point to the hope of restoration in Christ, even in the face of post-fall brokenness.

New DEI After 5 episode live nowWe've all heard the terms: psychological safety, belonging, trust. They get tossed around in company town halls, folded into DEI statements, and dropped into leadership training decks. But let's be real — most of what gets said about them barely scratches the surface.In this week's episode of DEI After 5, I go beneath the buzzwords.Psychological safety isn't about being “nice.” It's not just about making people feel good. It's about creating the kind of culture where people aren't punished — directly or indirectly — for being honest, asking questions, making mistakes, or challenging the status quo. It's the fertile ground where belonging and trust actually have a chance to grow.And yet, too often I see organizations trying to build belonging without doing the hard work of fostering safety. Or trying to build trust while still leading with secrecy and control. (Let's talk about those “secret squirrel conversations.”)Here's what I unpack in this episode:* Why psychological safety must come before belonging or trust can take root* How micro-moments — like who gets cut off in meetings or whose ideas get traction — shape the culture more than any policy ever could* What it looks like when psychological safety becomes performative* How leaders can begin to repair trust and model the safety they want their teams to feel* Why ongoing, real-time feedback (not just surveys) mattersIf you're a people leader, a change agent, or just someone who wants to help shape a healthier workplace culture — this episode is for you.We also explore what it means to slow down, assess the health of your team, and ask the right questions about how your people are really doing. Because the truth is, safety doesn't live in the mission statement. It lives in the day-to-day experiences of your team.As always, I'd love to hear what resonates — drop your thoughts in the comments or share how psychological safety is (or isn't) showing up in your workplace.Until next time,~Sacha This is a public episode.

FreshEd is away for a few weeks. -- Today I speak with Claire Maxwell about school internationalization. Together with Laura Engel and Miri Yemini, Claire has recently co-edited a new book entitled The Machinery of School Internationalisation in Action. Beyond the Established Boundaries. In our conversation, we discuss internationalization in terms of elite education, privatization, and racism. We even discuss the implications of the coronavirus on internationalization. Claire Maxwell is a professor of sociology at the University of Copenhagen. Her current work focuses on the family and working lives of globally mobile professionals, understanding identity, and desires around mobility and education strategies. She also looks at how notions of ‘elite education' are being articulated, experienced and re-negotiated across different cities across the world. www.freshedpodcast.com/clairemaxwell/ ‎ -- Get in touch!

#336: Modern friendship isn't what it used to be. We're navigating a world where identity is more complex, where we have unlimited choice in who we befriend, and where the burden of maintaining connections falls entirely on our individual shoulders. Friendship expert, speaker, journalist, and author of Modern Friendship: How to Nurture Our Most Valued Connections, Anna Goldfarb, also known as "The Friendship Explainer," reveals that this shift has created both unprecedented freedom and unexpected challenges in how we connect with others.In this conversation, Anna and I examine why so many of us feel lonely despite having full contact lists, and how our codependent and people-pleasing patterns can actually sabotage the authentic connections we crave. Anna shares her research on the five core reasons people make friends and offers a framework for building deeper connections.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://beatrizalbina.com/336Mentioned in this episode:Download Your Free Guide to Conversational Consent!Ever find yourself holding space you didn't mean to offer... or unloading your feelings without being sure the other person's actually available?

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, ‘On Power' discusses negative power, which is defined as coercion, control, and force, acting as the antithesis to individual liberty, consensual government, and civil society. It rejects biblical teachings of individual sovereignty and Enlightenment principles of distributed power, favoring centralized authority as seen in ideologies like Marxism, fascism, and authoritarian democracy. Wokeism is a modern authoritarian tool that enforces specific language and behavior, punishing non-conformity with social and professional consequences. Negative power dehumanizes individuals, viewing them as part of a collective to serve the ruling class or state, undermining personal well-being and autonomy. We need to confront and debate negative power to protect liberty and representative government. A new ruling class, the new bourgeoisie, is emerging in the U.S. and the West, defined not by wealth but by their pursuit of power. Soft negative power drives policies like controlling grocery stores, housing, or targeted taxation to consolidate influence, often at the expense of others' freedom. This creates an authoritarian democracy, where democratic appearances mask authoritarian control. Recognizing these dynamics is key to understanding today's power struggles. Also, former President Barack Obama should face a criminal investigation for his alleged role in efforts to undermine the 2016 election and the Trump presidency, despite claims of immunity based on a Supreme Court decision.  While official presidential acts are protected, crimes like attempting a coup are not immune from prosecution after leaving office. Afterward, a look back at March 2017 when Mark Levin broke the Obama spygate scandal wide open. Later, Special Envoy Thomas Barrack told Reuters there is no evidence the Syrian government is involved in the horrendous atrocities committed against the Druze and Christians and other minorities in Syria.  This is a disgrace, the evidence is everywhere.
