POPULARITY

In this continuation of our matrix series, we go deeper into three interwoven constructs - healthcare, banks/money, and so-called “artificial intelligence” - and how they function as false authorities only because we hand them our power. This isn't a hit piece on people. It's an illumination of ideas. As I say up front, I'm fiery - earth and fire in my blueprint - but I'm not condemning. Good/bad, right/wrong are outdated frames. Like Morpheus says, the matrix is a prison for the mind, a shadow we mistake for the body. I'm pointing at the shadow so you can see the light.We begin with healthcare. I share the story of visiting friends and being struck by the drumbeat of pharmaceutical commercials - slick narratives that say, “You're doing the natural things - eating real food, moving your body - and it's still not enough. Take the pill.” I offer a personal example: my dad was put on a preventative cholesterol drug even without high cholesterol, and later told it would be “dangerous” to stop. The point isn't that doctors are villains; it's that the system replicates nature poorly and becomes self-serving. I highlight the placebo effect to illustrate the mind's role in healing and argue that much of the system is a copy of true health. When we forget this, we surrender authority to white coats and acronyms instead of listening to our bodies and living in simple alignment - real food, movement, sunlight, and rest.From there we move to banks and money. In nature, value flows through exchange - what I have in excess covers your lack, and vice versa. Tribes live this way. Yet we've assigned a monetary price to everything - food, water, land - and then centralized the levers (interest, inflation, access) so thoroughly that abundance dies on the vine. I contrast U.S. food waste with global hunger to show the distortion: it's not that we can't share; it's that we won't because the price tag says no. I'm not calling that evil - I'm asking us to look at results. I point to cryptocurrency as a tool that could move us toward sounder exchange and, ultimately, a world with less need for currency at all, and I mention the Venus Project as a vision of resource-based living driven by available technology.Finally, we tackle “AI.” I call artificial intelligence an oxymoron: what is artificial isn't intelligent, and what is intelligent isn't artificial. In practice, it's a confirmation-bias mirror - the apex of human narcissism - polishing and returning our own beliefs. I've seen people get opposite “truths” from their bots based on what they feed them. When we treat that mirror as an oracle, we don't become wiser; we outsource discernment. I even note emerging pathologies like people falling in love with their bots—a sign of isolation and self-infatuation the matrix rewards.The through-line is authority. Government, corporations, religions, healthcare, banks, and “AI” are not mothers and fathers. They are ideas - useful only when they serve life. I don't vote, not out of apathy, but because I refuse to abdicate self-governance. As Jurassic Park warned, we were so busy asking if we could that we didn't ask if we should. Let's ask now. Next week I'll share what I do believe - practical, life-giving shifts we can embody so the matrix serves through us, not over us.Elevate your alpha, brothers.

Transcript:Nl: In het schemerlicht van een herfstavond stonden Sjors, Lucas en Femke voor een verlaten pakhuis.En: In the twilight of an autumn evening, Sjors, Lucas, and Femke stood before an abandoned warehouse.Nl: Het pakhuis was oud, verlaten en de ramen waren dichtgetimmerd.En: The warehouse was old, deserted, and the windows were boarded up.Nl: De muren leken verhalen te vertellen uit het verleden.En: The walls seemed to tell stories from the past.Nl: Een koude wind blies door de kieren en bladeren dansten over de grond.En: A cold wind blew through the cracks, and leaves danced across the ground.Nl: Sjors kneep zijn ogen samen en luisterde naar de fluisterende geluiden van de avond.En: Sjors squinted his eyes and listened to the whispering sounds of the evening.Nl: "Waarom hier?"En: "Why here?"Nl: vroeg Lucas.En: asked Lucas.Nl: Hij was sceptisch en niet helemaal overtuigd van dit avontuur.En: He was skeptical and not entirely convinced about this adventure.Nl: "We kunnen toch ergens anders heengaan?"En: "Can't we go somewhere else?"Nl: Sjors glimlachte.En: Sjors smiled.Nl: "Er zijn hier geluiden en ik wil weten wat er aan de hand is," zei hij vastberaden.En: "There are sounds here, and I want to know what's going on," he said determinedly.Nl: Hij had altijd al een detective willen zijn.En: He had always wanted to be a detective.Nl: Alleen zijn angst voor het onbekende hield hem tegen.En: Only his fear of the unknown held him back.Nl: Femke keek naar Sjors en toen naar Lucas.En: Femke looked at Sjors, and then at Lucas.Nl: "We moeten voorzichtig zijn," waarschuwde ze.En: "We have to be careful," she warned.Nl: "Het kan gevaarlijk zijn."En: "It could be dangerous."Nl: Sjors zuchtte.En: Sjors sighed.Nl: "Ik ga naar binnen.En: "I'm going inside.Nl: Wie komt er mee?"En: Who's coming with me?"Nl: Zonder te wachten liep hij vooruit.En: Without waiting, he walked ahead.Nl: Lucas en Femke wisselden blikken maar volgden hem uiteindelijk het pakhuis in.En: Lucas and Femke exchanged looks but eventually followed him into the warehouse.Nl: Binnen was het stil.En: Inside, it was quiet.Nl: De ruimte was donker en koud.En: The space was dark and cold.Nl: Hun voetstappen echoden door de lege hal.En: Their footsteps echoed through the empty hall.Nl: Plotseling stopte Sjors.En: Suddenly, Sjors stopped.Nl: In een hoek viel iets op.En: Something caught his eye in a corner.Nl: Een deur, verstopt achter een stapel oude kratten.En: A door, hidden behind a stack of old crates.Nl: Zijn hart klopte sneller.En: His heart beat faster.Nl: Hij had verhalen gehoord over geheime kamers, maar had nooit gedacht er echt een te vinden.En: He had heard stories about secret rooms but had never thought he would actually find one.Nl: "Wat is dat?"En: "What is that?"Nl: vroeg Lucas, terwijl hij zijn zaklamp op de deur richtte.En: asked Lucas, as he directed his flashlight at the door.Nl: De deur leek oud en stoffig.En: The door looked old and dusty.Nl: "Ik weet het niet, maar we moeten kijken," zei Sjors.En: "I don't know, but we have to look," said Sjors.Nl: Femke aarzelde, maar haar nieuwsgierigheid won het van haar angst.En: Femke hesitated, but her curiosity won over her fear.Nl: Met een lichte trilling in zijn hand duwde Sjors tegen de deur.En: With a slight tremble in his hand, Sjors pushed against the door.Nl: Hij verwachtte bijna dat deze niet zou opengaan, maar tot zijn verbazing gaf de deur mee en kraakte langzaam open.En: He almost expected it not to open, but to his surprise, it gave way and creaked open slowly.Nl: De kamer was klein en vol stof.En: The room was small and full of dust.Nl: In het midden stond een vreemd, mysterieus object.En: In the middle stood a strange, mysterious object.Nl: Het was bedekt met cryptische symbolen en leek uit een andere wereld te komen.En: It was covered with cryptic symbols and seemed to come from another world.Nl: Sjors voelde een koude rilling langs zijn rug lopen.En: Sjors felt a cold shiver run down his spine.Nl: Hij was zo dichtbij iets groots.En: He was so close to something big.Nl: "Wat is dit?"En: "What is this?"Nl: fluisterde Lucas, terwijl hij dichterbij kwam.En: whispered Lucas as he moved closer.Nl: "We moeten het laten liggen," zei Femke snel en keek Sjors streng aan.En: "We must leave it alone," said Femke quickly, looking at Sjors sternly.Nl: "Het is gevaarlijk om het aan te raken."En: "It's dangerous to touch it."Nl: Sjors knikte langzaam.En: Sjors nodded slowly.Nl: "Je hebt gelijk," gaf hij toe.En: "You're right," he admitted.Nl: Zijn verlangen om meer te leren was groot, maar hij wist dat ze voorzichtig moesten zijn.En: His desire to learn more was strong, but he knew they had to be careful.Nl: Toch besloot hij de symbolen te bestuderen en nam notities voordat ze weer de deur dichtdeden.En: Nevertheless, he decided to study the symbols and took notes before they closed the door again.Nl: Buiten het pakhuis voelde Sjors zich anders.En: Outside the warehouse, Sjors felt different.Nl: Meer zelfverzekerd, meer vastberaden om mysteries op te lossen.En: More confident, more determined to solve mysteries.Nl: Hij wist dat hij het goed had gedaan door zijn vrienden te respecteren.En: He knew he had done the right thing by respecting his friends.Nl: "Dit is nog maar het begin," zei hij glimlachend.En: "This is just the beginning," he said with a smile.Nl: Lucas klopte hem op zijn schouder, en Femke glimlachte voorzichtig.En: Lucas patted him on the shoulder, and Femke smiled cautiously.Nl: Ze trokken hun jassen strakker om zich heen tegen de koude herfstavond terwijl ze wegliepen.En: They pulled their jackets tighter against the cold autumn evening as they walked away.Nl: De geheimen van het pakhuis waren nog niet helemaal opgelost, maar het avontuur gaf Sjors de moed om door te gaan.En: The secrets of the warehouse were not completely solved, but the adventure gave Sjors the courage to continue.Nl: Met zijn vrienden aan zijn zijde voelde hij zich klaar voor elke uitdaging.En: With his friends by his side, he felt ready for any challenge.

vægmaleriet.En: There it was, behind her - the mural.Da: Et øjebliks månelys brød ind gennem et smadret vindue og afslørede værkets skønhed.En: A moment of moonlight broke through a smashed window, revealing the beauty of the work.Da: Farverne, figurerne og det skjulte budskab var overvældende.En: The colors, the figures, and the hidden message were overwhelming.Da: Freja stod stille, fanget af det ukendte kunstners talent.En: Freja stood still, captivated by the unknown artist's talent.Da: Med ny energi skyndte hun sig tilbage til Mads og Kasper, der engsteligt ledte efter hende.En: With renewed energy, she hurried back to Mads and Kasper, who were anxiously searching for her.Da: "Jeg fandt det!"En: "I found it!"Da: råbte hun.En: she shouted.Da: Hendes støvler sparkede blade op, mens hun hastigt løb hen til dem.En: Her boots kicked up leaves as she quickly ran to them.Da: "Det er fantastisk."En: "It's amazing."Da: De kiggede lettede på hende.En: They looked at her with relief.Da: Sammen forlod de lageret, hun forrest med et smil, bredt som skyerne.En: Together, they left the warehouse, with her leading the way and a smile as wide as the sky.Da: Turen havde skubbet hende ud af sin komfortzone, men hun stod nu stærkere, mutigere og med en ny forståelse for det, der kan findes, når man vover at kigge det ukendte i øjnene.En: The trip had pushed her out of her comfort zone, but now she stood stronger, braver, and with a new understanding of what can be discovered when daring to look the unknown in the eye.Da: Frejas indre ild glødede.En: Freja's inner fire glowed.Da: Hvis dette var skattene, hun kunne finde i det glemte bylandskab, hvad ville der så vente næste gang?En: If these were the treasures she could find in the forgotten urban landscape, what would await next time?

Forget mere tombs—these monolithic marvels were plasma-scalar powerhouses, engineered to shatter Ice Ages, harness cosmic energies, and ignite humanity's latent potential. From Giza's stellar alignments to Nazca's Tesla-encoded lines, Walton unveils a global grid of forgotten tech: Osiris chambers as sun-reviving generators, retranslated Egyptian papyri as energy blueprints, and even America's pharaonic origins. GUEST: Captain Leo Walton is a retired USCG Merchant Marine Captain, marine forensics expert with over 2,500 investigations, and lifelong explorer who's sailed 25,000+ miles. From nuclear engineering on Navy vessels to inventing critical infrastructure like 9/11's life-saving fire systems, his career spans firefighting, corporate management, and global adventures in Egypt, Central America, and Bosnia. A 2007 near-death experience sparked a Kundalini awakening, redirecting him to pyramid research—positing them as advanced energy and climate devices, not tombs. Author of "The Giza Park Protocol" series and lecturer for Near-Death Studies groups, Walton blends science, consciousness, and ancient mysteries to rewrite humanity's dawn.

What made Jesus such an Amazing Child? #1-UNDER the Law, v. 39 #2-UPHELD by Wisdom and Grace, v. 40 #3-UNVEILED out of Deep Theology, vv. 41-47
Michigan State University unveiled a new strategic plan -- MSU 2030 – in September 2021, articulating a shared vision for the university and six bold priorities for continuous improvement. As originally planned, and now under the leadership of President Kevin Guskiewicz, the strategic plan is being refreshed to reflect on lessons learned, adjust course and make progress toward becoming a more contemporary institution focused on cross-cutting priorities and solutions – with “synergy unleashed.” The refreshed, reframed and reimagined strategic plan, MSU 2030: Excellence for Global Impact, reaffirms leadership's commitment to a shared vision for the university through the end of the decade. Here to discuss the evolution of MSU 2030 are MSU President Kevin Guskiewicz and MSU Vice President for Strategic Initiatives Bill Beekman.Conversation Highlights:(1:15) – Kevin, you've said that the compelling vision of an institution taking on the challenges of the 21st century is among the things that attracted me to Michigan State. How so?(2:08) – Bill, you've been involved with the plan's development and implementation since the start. What strikes you about the plan's refresh?(4:11) – Kevin, you've often referred to MSU 2030 as a roadmap. Why is it important for MSU to have this plan and to refresh it now? And what do you mean by “synergy unleashed?(6:24) - The newly revised MSU 2030 plan maintains as foundational elements six strategic and cross-cutting themes and priorities — Student Success, Staff and Faculty Success, Discovery and Innovation for Impact, Sustainable Health, Stewardship for a Sustainable Future, and Access, Opportunity and Excellence.Let's talk about the cross-cutting themes that are injecting new energy into these ongoing efforts and uniting key areas. How do they complement the themes? How and why were they developed and elaborate on what you mean.First, Grow Talent for Michigan and Beyond.(9:10) - Drive Health Transformation.(11:27) - Enroll for the Future.(14:27) - Build Community Together.(17:05) - Achieve Next-Generation Operations and Organization.(18:50) - Access, Opportunity and Excellence.(20:15) - What's next? How will implementation proceed, and how will we measure progress and success?(21:48) – Final thoughts.Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your shows.Conversation Transcript:Russ White:Michigan State University unveiled a new strategic plan MSU 2030 in September, 2021, articulating a shared vision for the university and six bold priorities for continuous improvement as originally planned. And now under the leadership of President Kevin Kasowitz, the strategic plan is being refreshed to reflect on lessons learned, adjust course and make progress toward becoming a more contemporary institution focused on cross-cutting priorities and solutions. With Synergy Unleashed, the refreshed, reframed, and re-imagined strategic plan MSU 2030 Excellence for Global Impact reaffirms leadership's commitment to a shared vision for the university through the end of the decade. Here to discuss the evolution of MSU 2030, our MSU President, Kevin Guskiewicz and MSU, vice President for Strategic Initiatives, bill Beekman and Kevin and Bill, great to have you back in the state of the art studios of Impact Radio here on campus. And Kevin, you've said that the compelling vision of an institution taking on the challenges of the 21st century is among the things that attracted you to Michigan State. How so, and why?Kevin Guskiewicz:Well, Michigan State University is a proudly public university, one that fills a commitment to the people of Michigan. We rely on taxpayer dollars to transform the lives and improve the quality of life for Michiganders. And so much of the work that's done here through our teaching research and outreach is about the common good. I mean, the new strategic plan that we're here talking about, it's woven throughout the entire roadmap. It's about all that we do is for the public good, the common good. And we felt that the first time we touched down here in East Lansing. And 18 months in, I feel even better about where we're headed than what I did two years ago when I started exploring the opportunity.Speaker 1:And Bill, you've been involved with the plan's development and implementation from the start. What strikes you about the refresh?Bill Beekman:Well, I think one of the most important things about the refresh is the fact that we're actually doing it. So often you have strategic plans that get built and there's inordinate amounts of time spent working on them, and then they sort of drift away. And I think what's really wonderful about the creation of this plan and those that were there at the start, is that they very intentionally decided that we should have a refresh that about a third 40% of the way into the implementation of the plan, that we should pause, take a look at the environment, what's changed, what's going well, what should we be thinking about changing based on internal and external factors and recalibrate. And so it's really a living plan. And to me that's one the most important aspects of the plan is that it does change. It does adapt to our circumstances and our environment.(03:08):It allows for us to think about where should we be course correcting? What things should we be doing differently? How should we learn from what we've done? And that constant course correcting and a living plan, I think continues to make it relevant to what we're doing. And so the process has really been wonderful and allowed our team to focus on the future. It was fortuitous that it happened as Kevin had been here for about nine months or thereabouts, so his energy and vision could be incorporated into the work we're doing. And so yeah, it's been a wonderful process and it's great to see it finished and the work of implementation goes on.Speaker 1 (03:57):Yes. And Kevin, you've often referred to MSU 2030 as a roadmap in addition to a strategic plan. Why is it important for MSU to have this plan and to refresh it now? And what do you mean by synergy unleashed?Speaker 2 (04:12):Well, I've always used the word roadmap rus because I think you need a roadmap to get to a destination. And the destination that was agreed upon back in 2021 were set of established goals and priorities and how we were going to get there needed to be sort of re-imagined. But again, I think as Bill's already said, it's sort of reaffirming those six initial prio...

Welcome back to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the podcast dedicated to bringing you the latest news, updates, and insights on Ozempic and its impact on weight, health, and lifestyle.Today, we start with the basics: Ozempic is a medication based on semaglutide, and it is part of a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists. These drugs work by mimicking a hormone in your gut that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. According to Purdue University, after a meal, the body naturally releases GLP-1, which helps stimulate insulin production and signals the brain to feel full. Ozempic uses a modified version of this hormone, which not only lowers blood sugar but also reduces appetite, leading to significant weight loss. Clinical studies suggest people can lose between five and twelve percent of their body weight, while also seeing improvements in blood sugar and cardiovascular health.Ozempic is recommended as the first injectable therapy for diabetes by the American Diabetes Association, but most of its headline-grabbing popularity now comes from its off-label use for weight loss. Over fifteen million adults in the United States now use medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or similar GLP-1-based drugs. The Wall Street Journal reports that this number has been climbing steadily each year.But as more people turn to Ozempic, new challenges and concerns are emerging. The most common side effects are nausea and digestive issues, which can be so severe that up to forty percent of people stop using the drug within the first month, according to Tufts University researchers. Even for those who tolerate Ozempic, there are drawbacks. Experts at Purdue University caution that weight often returns when the drug is discontinued, meaning it is not a permanent fix. Other concerns are rising as well. Mass General Brigham recently published research in JAMA Ophthalmology that links semaglutide to a greater risk of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, a condition that can cause sudden, permanent blindness. People with diabetes taking semaglutide were over four times more likely to develop this disorder than those who did not.At the same time, there is a lot of online buzz around microdosing, or taking very small amounts of GLP-1 drugs for longevity or anti-aging. The Washington Post and The Independent have both reported that leading experts see no solid scientific evidence that microdosing these drugs provides any benefit or is even safe. Companies marketing microdosing protocols are ahead of the actual science.Researchers at Tufts are now developing new medications that target even more hormone receptors, hoping to be more effective, easier to take, and come with fewer side effects. Their most recent breakthrough aims for a four-in-one drug that tackles multiple hormones tied to metabolism and appetite, with the goal of delivering even greater and longer-lasting weight loss. The hope is that future drugs could treat obesity and simultaneously reduce risks for over one hundred eighty diseases linked to excess weight, including diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.Meanwhile, there are also efforts to stimulate the body's own GLP-1 production naturally, possibly through dietary fibers or future supplements. Purdue researchers believe this could help people maintain weight loss after coming off Ozempic, without the harsh side effects of injections, though results so far show milder weight control than with the actual drug.To sum up, Ozempic has opened a new chapter in metabolic medicine, but there are still risks, unanswered questions, and an ever-changing landscape as science races forward. We will be here to keep you informed with the latest evidence and expert insights.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

In this episode of the Alpha Male Coach Podcast, Kevin takes listeners deep into the structure of the Matrix, exploring how the world's major systems shape human consciousness. Using the analogy of The Matrix films, Kevin explains that the systems around us - government, corporations, and religion - are not inherently real or absolute; they exist because we collectively give them power. They are constructs of human thought, replicants of natural or spiritual principles, and are maintained through belief, habit, and obedience.Kevin begins with government, unpacking its many forms - from democracy to monarchy, socialism to capitalism - and explaining that all governments are essentially copies of natural governance. They aim to create order out of perceived chaos but often become self-serving and divisive. Kevin emphasizes that no human being has the true capacity to govern another; our innate power lies in self-governance, managing our own thoughts, emotions, and actions. Governments are ideologies in the mind, sustained by collective belief, and are tools through which the Matrix maintains control.Next, Kevin examines corporations, clarifying that he is not talking about the individuals who work within them, but the corporate structures themselves. Corporations, he explains, are designed to survive and thrive, often through mechanisms like scarcity, planned obsolescence, and marketing. Using Apple and the iPhone as an example, he illustrates how corporations create products that could liberate or connect humanity, yet often restrict access to preserve profit and power. These structures are replicants of evolution, offering innovation while also serving themselves. Understanding and navigating corporations consciously allows individuals to manipulate these systems for their own growth rather than fall victim to them.Finally, Kevin dives into religion, a topic close to his heart. He distinguishes organized religion from personal spirituality, describing religion as a matrix construct: a copy of our spiritual essence that has been distorted over time. Kevin traces historical examples - the caste system in Hinduism, the Council of Nicaea in Christianity, and various religious conflicts - to show how religions have often served themselves, integrated with governments, and contributed to division rather than unity. Yet, when religion is aligned with wisdom, it has the potential to guide humanity toward its highest expression. Kevin stresses that true awakening does not come from religion itself but from understanding these systems and reclaiming one's own consciousness.Throughout the episode, Kevin's message is clear: external systems - governments, corporations, and religion - will not lead us to utopia. Only by expanding personal consciousness and reclaiming responsibility for our own thoughts and actions can we awaken and navigate the Matrix wisely.This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking clarity on how power structures operate in the world, how ideology shapes behavior, and how to awaken to one's own agency within the systems that surround us. Kevin lays the foundation for understanding the remaining pillars - healthcare, banks, and artificial intelligence - in future episodes, continuing the journey toward full consciousness expansion.

There have been conflicts because of it."Zh: 就在此时,门外的琳娜无意间听到了这一切。En: At this time, Lina overheard everything from outside.Zh: 她是一名充满野心的记者,一直在寻找独家的新闻故事。En: She was an ambitious reporter always looking for exclusive news stories.Zh: 她立即意识到,这可能是一个会轰动的发现。En: She immediately realized that this might be a sensational discovery.Zh: 然而,看着明宇凝重的表情,琳娜犹豫了。En: However, seeing Mingyu's serious expression, Lina hesitated.Zh: 这位年轻看管员显然十分敬重寺庙的历史与宁静。En: It was clear that the young caretaker deeply respected the temple's history and tranquility.Zh: 明宇和琳娜面对面,最终明宇劝说琳娜,“如果这个秘密被外界知道,寺庙就不复宁静。En: Facing each other, Mingyu eventually persuaded Lina, "If this secret is known to the outside world, the temple will no longer be peaceful.Zh: 这里太珍贵了,无法承受侵扰。”En: This place is too precious to withstand disturbance."Zh: 琳娜沉默了片刻,轻轻点头。En: Lina was silent for a moment, then gently nodded.Zh: 她理解了明宇的苦心,与他约定,故事不再传播,铜佛像继续藏在寺庙深处,不为人知。En: She understood Mingyu's concerns and agreed that the story would not be spread, and the bronze Buddha statue would remain hidden in the depths of the temple, unknown to others.Zh: 寺庙中,灯火闪烁,夜色渐深,En: Inside the temple, the lights flickered as the night deepened.Zh: 明宇望着月亮,心中不再彷徨。En: Mingyu looked at the moon, no longer wavering in his heart.Zh: 他明白,有些价值无法用名声与成功衡量。En: He realized that some values cannot be measured by fame and success.Zh: 肩负起保护历史的责任,才是真正的成就。En: Taking on the responsibility of protecting history is the true achievement.

The Ephesian city treasurer mentioned several times in Paul's letters may have been brought to life through following archeological clues, and what we discover is a person worthy of emulation. In our everyday worries, we forget our position of relative privilege and plenty, of the ways God has equipped us and the opportunities He sets before us. Like Erastus, we are called to grab these with both hands to further the Gospel to the greater glory of God.NOTE: Apologies for the tardiness uploading this episode, as we were experiencing difficulties with the podcast's host site.

The first, asteroid 2025 PF2, zipped past at an altitude of just 22,000 kilometers, while the second, 2025 PU1, came even closer at 29,000 kilometers. Both asteroids, small yet significant, highlight the ongoing risks posed by near-Earth objects, with 2025 PU1 being particularly alarming as it was only detected hours after its closest approach.A New Moon for UranusAstronomers have identified a new moon orbiting Uranus, bringing the total number of known satellites to 26. Detected using NASA's Webb Space Telescope, this moon, estimated to be about 10 kilometers in diameter, eluded previous observations, including those from the Voyager 2 mission. Its discovery adds to the complexity of Uranus's moon system and raises questions about the chaotic history of its rings and satellites.Dancing Dwarf Galaxies and the Milky Way's FateA new study suggests that the fate of our Milky Way galaxy is intricately tied to the gravitational interactions with smaller dwarf galaxies as it approaches a merger with the Andromeda galaxy. By studying similar galactic systems, researchers aim to predict how these cosmic dances will influence the evolution of our galaxy over the next few billion years, providing insights into dark matter and cosmic structure.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Societyhttps://academic.oup.com/mnrasNASA's Webb Space Telescopehttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/webb/main/index.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore the latest revelations from the cosmos, featuring the intriguing interstellar comet 3I Atlas, a groundbreaking theory about our place in the universe, and the safe return of SpaceX Crew 10.The Enigmatic Comet 3I AtlasAstronomers utilizing NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have captured the sharpest images yet of the interstellar comet 3I Atlas, revealing a solid icy nucleus estimated to measure between 320 meters and 5.6 kilometers in diameter. This comet, traveling at a staggering 209,000 kilometers per hour, is believed to have been journeying through interstellar space for approximately 7 billion years. Observations from multiple telescopes are enhancing our understanding of this ancient visitor, including its size, chemical makeup, and physical properties. With a dust plume and tail reminiscent of solar system comets, 3I Atlas offers a unique glimpse into the history of our galaxy as it approaches the sun.Earth's Position in a Cosmic VoidA new hypothesis suggests that Earth and the Milky Way may reside in a vast cosmic void rather than along a filament of the universe's cosmic web. This idea could help resolve the Hubble tension, a discrepancy in the rate of the universe's expansion. The study, presented at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Conference, posits that our galaxy might be near the center of a local void, influencing the observed expansion rate of the universe. This intriguing concept challenges existing cosmological models and could reshape our understanding of cosmic structure.Safe Return of SpaceX Crew 10After five months aboard the International Space Station, SpaceX Crew 10 has safely returned to Earth. Their Dragon capsule splashed down in the North Pacific Ocean, marking the end of a mission that contributed to over 200 scientific experiments, ranging from plant growth studies to the effects of microgravity on human physiology. The crew's successful return paves the way for their replacements, Crew 11, to continue vital research in low Earth orbit.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal Lettershttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2041-8205Royal Astronomical Societyhttps://ras.ac.uk/NASA's Hubble Space Telescopehttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/main/index.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.
Megan J. Conner reminds us that even in our deepest trials, God is at work revealing Himself to us. Drawing from the story of Job, she explores how suffering—though painful and bewildering—can lead to a greater understanding of God’s majesty, faithfulness, and love. True blessing isn’t always the resolution we hope for, but the unveiling of God’s presence in our lives. ✨ Highlights How suffering can draw us closer to God and fortify our faith Job’s story as a model for lament, honesty, and perseverance in hardship The “unveiled blessing”: seeing God more fully through trials Biblical encouragement to trust God even when life seems unendurable Scriptures for reflection: Job 42:1-6, Rom. 5:3-5, Jer. 29:11

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Cornell researchers have developed an implant system that can treat type 1 diabetes by supplying extra oxygen to densely packed insulin-secreting cells, without the need for immunosuppression. The system could also potentially provide long-term treatment for a range of chronic diseases. This lab has produced previous implantable devices that have proved effective in controlling blood sugar in diabetic mice, but they can only last so long. "It's the proof of concept. We really proved that oxygenation is important, and oxygenation will support high cell-density capsules," Tempelman said. "The capsules are immune protective and last for a long time without having some kind of fouling of the membrane. The body never likes it when you put a foreign substance in. So that's the engineering in the Ma Lab, to look for materials and coatings for the materials that are immune protective, but also don't invoke excess response from the body because of the material." The next step will be to implant the system in a pig model, and also test it with human stem cells. The researchers are interested in eventually trying to use the system for implanting different cell types in humans for long-term treatment of chronic diseases, according to Tempelman, who is CEO of Persista Bio Inc., a new startup she founded with Ma and Flanders that is licensing these technologies. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-08-implant-diabetes-oxygenating-insulin-cells.html XX Mayo Clinic cancer research may be big news for T1D. After identifying a sugar molecule that cancer cells use on their surfaces to hide from the immune system, the researchers have found the same molecule may eventually help in the treatment of type 1. Cancer cells use a variety of methods to evade immune response, including coating themselves in a sugar molecule known as sialic acid. The researchers found in a preclinical model of type 1 diabetes that it's possible to dress up beta cells with the same sugar molecule, enabling the immune system to tolerate the cells. The findings show that it's possible to engineer beta cells that do not prompt an immune response In the preclinical models, the team found that the engineered cells were 90% effective in preventing the development of type 1 diabetes. The beta cells that are typically destroyed by the immune system in type 1 diabetes were preserved. https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-researchers-find-sugar-coating-cells-can-protect-those-typically-destroyed-in-type-1-diabetes/ XX A daily pill may be as effective in lowering blood sugar and aiding weight loss in people with Type 2 diabetes as the popular injectable drugs Mounjaro and Ozempic, according to results of a clinical trial announced by Eli Lilly on Thursday morning. The drug, orforglipron, is a GLP-1, a class of drugs that have become blockbusters because of their weight-loss effects. But the GLP-1s on the market now are expensive, must be kept refrigerated and must be injected. A pill that produces similar results has the potential to become far more widely used, though it is also expected to be expensive. Lilly said it would seek approval from the Food and Drug Administration later this year to market orforglipron for obesity and early in 2026 for diabetes. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/health/pill-glp-1-eli-lilly.html XX Use of diabetes technology has dramatically increased and glycemic control has improved among people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the US over the past 15 years, but at the same time, overall achievement of an A1c level < 7% remains low and socioeconomic and racial disparities have widened. These findings came from an analysis of national electronic health records of nearly 200,000 children and adults with T1D by Michael Fang, PhD, of the Department of Epidemiology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, and colleagues. The study was published online on August 11, 2025, in JAMA Network Open. Use of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) increased substantially from 2009-2011 to 2021-2023, from less than 5% in both children and adults to more than 80% and over half, respectively. While A1c levels did drop over the 15 years, just 1 in 5 children and slightly over a quarter of adults achieved a level < 7%. The average A1c level stayed above 8%, with ethnic minorities and low-income patients seeing the smallest gains. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/diabetes-tech-use-rise-a1c-reductions-still-lag-2025a1000lc9 XX Inflammation may predict how well people with diabetes respond to depression treatment, and the effects differ dramatically between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Diabetes and depression often appear together. Indeed, depression is more than three times more prevalent in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and nearly twice as prevalent in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). When they appear together, treatment for depression can vary widely. In a new study, researchers from the German Diabetes Center (DDZ), the Research Institute of the Diabetes Academy Mergentheim (FIDAM), and the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) investigated how inflammation in the body relates to improvement in depression symptoms in people with T1D and T2D. The researchers combined data from three previous German randomized clinical trials that aimed to reduce elevated depressive symptoms and diabetes distress in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Diabetes distress is characterized by feelings of overwhelm, frustration, guilt and worry about diabetes management and its potential complications. A total of 332 participants with T1D and 189 with T2D who had completed both a baseline and 12-month follow-up examination were included in the present study. Measures included depression using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale (CES-D), blood tests for 76 inflammatory biomarkers, and symptoms broken down into cognitive-affective (e.g., feeling hopeless), somatic (e.g., poor sleep, fatigue), and anhedonia (loss of pleasure) clusters. After adjusting for factors like age, body mass index (BMI), diabetes duration, cholesterol, and co-existing illnesses, the researchers found that in patients with T1D, higher baseline inflammation was linked to smaller improvements in depression. Inflammation seemed to be more connected to physical/somatic symptoms in T1D patients. In those with T2D, higher baseline inflammation was linked to greater improvements in depression. For these patients, the effect was strongest for cognitive-affective and anhedonia – so, emotional and motivational – symptoms. The researchers weren't sure what caused the difference between T1D and T2D, but they suggest it might be due to the different forms of immune activation seen in each condition. That is, autoimmune processes in type 1 and metabolic inflammation in type 2. https://newatlas.com/health-wellbeing/inflammation-diabetes-depression-treatment/ XX Parents of children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes suffer an income drop in the years following the diagnosis. The impact is more pronounced in mothers, especially mothers of children diagnosed in preschool years. And these findings come from a European study.. not the US. Previous research has shown that parents of children with type 1 diabetes are at increased risk of stress-related symptoms and may need to reduce their working hours. "In our study, we observed reduced parental work-related incomes in the years following the child's type 1 diabetes diagnosis. The drop was larger in mothers than in fathers. Since mothers earned significantly less than fathers in absolute terms, even before the child fell ill, the relative drop in mothers was 6.6% the year following diagnosis compared to 1.5% in fathers. We further note the greatest impact on work-related incomes in mothers of children diagnosed at preschool age," says Beatrice Kennedy, physician at the Endocrine and Diabetes unit at Uppsala University Hospital and Associate Professor of Medical Epidemiology at Uppsala University, who led the study. This is a huge study, builds on data from national population and health registers and the Swedish Child Diabetes Register (Swediabkids). The study includes the parents of more than 13,000 children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in Sweden in 1993−2014, as well as more than half a million parents in the general population who have children not diagnosed with diabetes. The researchers observed that the maternal pension-qualifying incomes (a composite outcome including work-related income and societal benefits) initially increased after the child's diagnosis. This was attributable to mothers applying for the parental care allowance from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. The parental care allowance was intended to compensate for disease-related loss of work-related income and contribute toward disease-specific costs. When the research team investigated long-term effects in mothers, they found that the pension-qualifying incomes gradually decreased after eight years, and had not recovered by the end of follow-up − 17 years after the children were diagnosed. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250811/Mothers-face-greater-financial-impact-following-childe28099s-type-1-diabetes-diagnosis.aspx XX The U.S. Department of Justice has reached a settlement with Metro Nashville Public Schools after allegations that the district violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. The parents of a student at the Ross Early Learning Center requested that the school monitor their child's glucose monitor. Investigators found the school refused to do so, despite the child's Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis. As part of the settlement, MNPS agreed to change its policies to allow the use of these devices, ensure trained staff can monitor them throughout the entire school day and at school activities, and improve communication with parents. https://www.wsmv.com/2025/08/12/metro-nashville-public-schools-settles-allegations-it-discriminated-against-students-with-diabetes/ XX Modular Medical has unveiled Pivot, its next-generation insulin patch pump technology aimed at simplifying diabetes care. The company announced its new pump for “almost-pumpers” at the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (“ADCES”) Conference in Phoenix, Arizona this weekend. It aims for Pivot to target adults with a user-friendly, affordable design. Modular Medical's current pump, the MODD1, won FDA clearance nearly a year ago. It features new microfluidics technology to allow for the low-cost pumping of insulin. The system has a reservoir size of 300 units/3mL. Users can monitor the pump activity with their cell phone and do not require an external controller. The pump uses a provided, single-use, disposable battery. The company announced recently that it validated its insulin pump cartridge line for human-use production in the U.S. Days later, it reported the first human use of the MODD1 pump. Now, it has taken the next steps with the debut of a next-gen pump, set for FDA submission in October. Modular Medical also gamifies diabetes care The company also said ADCES is the place where it will showcase the first playable level of its new Pivot pump gamified trainin module. Level Ex, a developer of medical games, develops the module. Modular Medical said gamification offers a way to make medical training more effective and efficient while improving information retention. Given the complexity in pump uptake, the company hopes to provide an easy way to bring its technology to clinicians and patients. The company expects to have training modules available at the same time as the pump's planned launch in 2026. “Level One is free because diabetes mastery shouldn't come with a price tag,” Sam Glassenberg, CEO of Level Ex, said. “Modular Medical is breaking barriers too – bringing pump therapy to more people through smart, accessible design. Together, we intend to make diabetes management simpler and more inclusive. “People learn best through play – and we believe they want to learn about insulin pumps the same way. In Level One, players aren't just mastering diabetes management through gameplay – they're asking to ‘play' with pumps: to explore how they work, understand their benefits, and build confidence before using them in real life. Our partnership with Modular Medical helps make that possible.” https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/modular-medical-unveils-next-gen-insulin-pump/ XX On Tuesday, 12 August 2025, Tandem Diabetes Care (NASDAQ:TNDM) presented at the Canaccord Genuity's 45th Annual Growth Conference, outlining strategic shifts and market focus. The company highlighted its plans for commercial transformation in the U.S. and expansion in international markets, alongside addressing competitive challenges and regulatory impacts. While optimistic about growth in Outside the U.S. (OUS) markets, Tandem is navigating a more competitive landscape domestically. We have entered into the pharmacy channel with Mobi only. And so as Mobi's been building up volume, we're getting experience and we're really learning and understanding what pharmacy offers to us. And the proof points have proved out the thesis I said earlier, which is it can really reduce that barrier for patients, is the out of pocket cost. And so we've decided to accelerate our strategy and where we were starting just with Mobi, we are now moving t slim supplies into the pharmacy channel, and that will kick into gear in the fourth quarter. So as people are looking at the cadence of sales for the remainder of the year with this reframing, many folks are seeing what looks like a a might be an outsized fourth quarter and and having trouble understanding those dynamics. We'll be adding the tSIM supplies to those contracts. We also have more coverage. We will have it in the coming weeks effective this year, so we will be increasing that 30% rate before the end of the year. And then, obviously, everyone's in the same cycle right now already negotiating and discussing their 2026 coverage. And so 30% is the floor. We do expect to continue to grow that coverage in the coming years, and ultimately have a much broader access. Absolutely. It's an exciting technology that allows for us to have an infusion set that extends the wear time from three days to up to seven days. So we're able to use that as part of an independent infusion set, which would then be used with the t slim and with the mobi pump today. But we're also using that same technology as part of the site that's used for mobi when you use it with a tubeless cartridge. So next year, we will launch Mobi in a patch configuration. It uses the same pump that's available today, but by using a modified cartridge, you're able to wear it as a patch pump. So one of the things we announced on the call is that we're using this extended wear technology as part of that site. So what it allows you to do is to change the portion that you wear in your skin separate from the timing of when you change the insulin cartridge. So it allows for that extended wear time, reduction of burden to the patient, which is especially important for higher volume insulin users as we expand into type two. So from here, we will launch the extended wear site next year along with we'll do a separate regulatory filing for the cartridge portion for Mobi that includes this extended wear technology as a predicate device. So that's another filing that we'll need to do, but we have the clearance today for the independent infusion set, but we'll file another five ten k for use of the extended wear technology as part of the tubeless Mobi feature. https://za.investing.com/news/transcripts/tandem-diabetes-at-canaccord-conference-strategic-shifts-and-market-focus-93CH-3834464 XX MannKind today announced a significant regulatory submission and a large financing agreement with Blackstone. The company submitted its lead inhaled insulin product for expanded FDA approval and secured $500 million in funding, it said. First, the Danbury, Connecticut-based company announced that it submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Afrezza, its inhaled insulin product, in the pediatric population. MannKind Director of Medical and Scientific Engagement Joanne Rinker, MS, RDN, BC-ADM, CDCES, LDN, FADCES, told Drug Delivery Business News at ADA 2025 that a submission was on the way for children and adolescents aged 4-17 years old. Further data shared at ADA found Afrezza both safe and effective in that age range. Afrezza is a fast-acting insulin formulation delivered through an inhaler device. MannKind engineered the mechanical inhaler device to slowly bring powder into the lung. A small compartment opens for the insertion of the insulin cartridge, then the user closes it. The only other component is a mouthpiece for the sake of cleanliness. Then, the inhalation takes just two seconds. It requires no electronics or extra components. The company expects a review acceptance decision early in the fourth quarter of 2025. “The submission of our supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Afrezza in pediatric patients is a meaningful milestone for MannKind and people living with diabetes,” said Michael Castagna, CEO of MannKind Corporation. Additional funding provides a significant boost for MannKind MannKind also announced a strategic financing agreement with funds managed by Blackstone worth up to $500 million. The financing provides MannKind with non-dilutive capital to advance its short- and long-term growth strategies. This senior secured credit facility includes a $75 million initial term loan funded at closing. It then has a $125 million delayed draw term loan available for the next 24 months. Finally, it features an additional $300 million uncommitted delayed draw term loan available at the mutual consent of MannKind and Blackstone. The facility bears interest at a calculated SOFR variable rate plus 4.75% and matures in August 2030. “This strategic financing significantly increases our operating flexibility and provides us substantial access to non-dilutive capital on favorable terms, complementing our strong cash position,” said Castagna. “The funding will support the expansion of our commercial team in preparation for the anticipated launch of the pediatric indication for Afrezza, if approved, continued pipeline advancement, potential business development opportunities, and general corporate purposes. Partnering with the Blackstone team on this transaction positions us to accelerate our next phase of growth and innovation.” https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/mannkind-fda-submission-pediatrics-500m-blackstone/ XX Medtronic MiniMed Abbott Instinct Sensor [Image from Medtronic Diabetes on LinkedIn] The Medtronic Diabetes business today took to social media to share an early preview of a new integrated Abbott sensor for its insulin delivery systems. Medtronic Diabetes — soon to be MiniMed after its planned separation from the medtech giant – said in the post that the new sensor specifically designed for its own systems is called “Instinct.” “Get a sneak peek at what's coming next: the Instinct sensor,” the business unit's account wrote. “Made by Abbott, the Instinct sensor is designed exclusively for MiniMed systems. We'll share more details about the Instinct sensor when it's commercially available.” The sensor, built on the Abbott FreeStyle Libre platform, reflects “the power of the partnership,” Abbott EVP, Diabetes Care, Chris Scoggins, told Drug Delivery Business News earlier this year. Medtronic and Abbott — two of the largest diabetes tech companies in the world — announced a year ago that they entered into a global partnership pairing Abbott continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) with Medtronic insulin delivery systems. The partnership aims to collaborate on a system based on Abbott's FreeStyle Libre CGMs with Medtronic's automated insulin delivery technology (the latest generation being the MiniMed 780G) and smart insulin pen systems, such as the InPen system. Read more about Medtronic, Abbott and the rest of the diabetes tech industry in our free Diabetes Technology Special Report. Medtronic's systems previously used its own CGMs, such as the Guardian 4 and the Simplera platform, and the company intends to continue using those systems as part of a comprehensive CGM portfolio. Under the companies' agreement, the systems would be sold exclusively by Medtronic — including the Abbott CGM. The companies brought the partnership a step further in April when Medtronic announced the submission of an interoperable pump with the Abbott sensor technology to the FDA. They plan to share more details following the expected FDA clearance, which remains pending. Management also recently emphasized the multi-year nature of the partnership, meaning Medtronic could pair current and future pumps with other Abbott sensors in the future. That could hint at integration with the company's future dual glucose-ketone monitor, as a number of pump makers have already announced collaborations to pair their systems with the sensor once it hits the market. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/medtronic-diabetes-previews-abbott-sensor-minimed/ XX Governor Glenn Youngkin joined Civica officials at the company's Petersburg manufacturing facility to announce a $3 million grant from the Commonwealth of Virginia to accelerate Civica's efforts to develop and produce affordable insulin for Americans living with diabetes. CivicaRx Logo "We are proud to partner with Civica in their mission to make essential medicines more accessible," said Governor Youngkin. "This investment reflects our belief in the power of public-private collaboration to improve lives and strengthen communities." These funds will support the production of insulin aspart, a rapid-acting human insulin analog used to regulate blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes. Civica plans to produce both rapid- and long-acting insulins at its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Petersburg, Va., where the company now employs more than 200 skilled workers.1 Over 8 million people living with diabetes need rapid-acting and/or long-acting insulin. The Governor also announced that he had officially proclaimed August 7 – 14 2025 'Life Sciences Week' demonstrating the Commonwealth's commitment to "accelerating the advancement of the life sciences through public-private partnerships, STEM education, workforce development, and sustained investment in research and development." "We are grateful for the Commonwealth's support," said Ned McCoy, Civica's President and CEO. "This funding will help us move closer toward our goal of ensuring that no one has to choose between insulin and other basic needs." Civica and Virginia officials were joined by Lynn Starr, Chief Global Advocacy Officer of Breakthrough T1D, the leading global type 1 diabetes research and advocacy organization. "More than one million American adults live with type 1 diabetes, and many still, sadly, ration their insulin, due to the prohibitively high cost of this necessary medication," said Starr. "Civica's work will help to make insulin more affordable for people across the country." Breakthrough T1D is among more than two dozen organizations and philanthropists, along with the states of Virginia and California, that have partnered with Civica to support the development of affordable insulins. Civica's insulin initiative aims to provide patients with predictable, transparent pricing — no more than $30 per vial or $55 for a box of five pens — regardless of insurance status. About Civica Civica is a nonprofit pharmaceutical company established to address drug shortages. It was founded by a group of U.S. health systems and philanthropies who, after more than a decade of chronic shortages, recognized that the market was not self-correcting and that a different approach is required. Civica works to deliver a safe, stable, and affordable supply of essential medicines to U.S. patients.

On Tuesday, Aug. 12, the singer and the former NFL tight end (via his professional fundraising platform Alltroo) announced they're teaming up to launch a rally featuring a fan-coveted prize: a custom 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz electric bus that the Jonas Brothers have brought along for their 20th anniversary tour. “Ten years ago, we hit the road with a goal to change what it means to live with diabetes. Since then, Beyond Type 1 has grown into the world's largest digital diabetes community, offering the tools, education, and peer support needed to not only survive but thrive with diabetes,” Jonas, who co-founded Beyond Type 1 (a nonprofit that advocates for those living with diabetes), says in a statement. “We've challenged stigma, built community, provided life-saving resources, and collectively driven global innovation toward prevention and cure. This milestone is a moment to rally even more support for our mission, and partnering with Alltroo helps us do that in a powerful, engaging way.” Related Stories Nick Jonas on Managing His Diabetes: 'The Mental and Emotional Health Aspect Is Really Important' nick jonas Nick Jonas Says He Was Diagnosed with Diabetes After Joe Told Their Parents: 'Something's Really Wrong' Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas attend the amfAR Cannes Gala 30th edition at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on May 23, 2024 For Rudolph, the campaign is about "celebrating Beyond Type 1's incredible work over the past decade, and standing behind their vision of a world where everyone with diabetes — or at risk of it — has access to the knowledge, care and support needed for early diagnosis and lifelong health." While the rally is live on Alltroo.com, fans can also scan QR codes available at all 36 Jonas Brothers concert stops to enter for a chance to win the electric bus. (A winner will be selected on November 14, which is World Diabetes Day.) Jonas, 32, has long been open about his Type 1 diabetes diagnosis at 13 years old. "I had this kind of wrench thrown into things when I was diagnosed and it took a while to figure out how to count carbs to properly dose for insulin and what things would affect me in different ways," he previously told PEOPLE. "When I was first diagnosed, I was sitting in the hospital and was scared to death, honestly, while I was learning about how to manage this new thing I was dealing with," Jonas recalled. "It would have been amazing to have someone to look at at that time to say, oh, this is a person living with it and they're following their dreams. They're doing what they want to do with their lives and not letting it slow them down." https://people.com/nick-jonas-kyle-rudolph-launch-fan-rally-diabetes-awareness-11788684

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, Zohran Mamdani recently returned from a lavish, expensive wedding in Uganda featuring a walled estate and armed guards, funded by capitalists rather than the government. He portrays himself as the victim while yelling at Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams. Don't believe a word Mamdani says, he would defund the police and disarm the citizen. Rep Mike Lawler calls in to discuss limousine liberal, trust fund baby Mamdani. Lawler warns that Mamdani becoming mayor of New York City would undermine safety and well-being, harming the city and country. Later, in On Power there were early debates among Hamilton, Madison, and Jefferson on interpreting the U.S. Constitution. Despite Hamilton's role in authoring the Federalist Papers to promote ratification and his advocacy for a strong national government, he proposed ideas like lifetime Senate and presidential terms, which were rejected. Afterward, David Friedman joins the show to express alarm at the unprecedented levels of anti-Semitism and hatred toward Israel, which is worsening monthly and fueled by media misinformation, such as the New York Times falsely portraying a congenitally ill child as starving due to Israel. Also, recognizing Palestine as a state incentivizes Hamas to continue without concessions, making hostage releases harder despite pleas from families. Finally, Steve Hilton calls in to discuss his run for California Governor and Kamala Harris' announcement that she won't run for Governor. Learn more about your ad choices.
