Following up after episode 15, "What to Know When the Government Comes Knocking," Dr. Pensa interviews a physician who went up against the US Department of Justice -- and won. Dr. Muhamad Aly Rifai is a practicing psychiatrist, boarded in psychiatry and internal medicine, who was indicted on charges of healthcare fraud by the US government in 2022, following seven years of investigation. Dr. Rifai was confident he was innocent, and confident in his billing practices -- and despite intimidation by the government, threats of imprisonment for up to 40 years, and very long odds, he refused to settle. He won against the US Government after a 6-day trial, and is here to share what he learned in his ordeal. This Department of Justice press release describes the accusations against Dr. Rifai. (I feel they should update the headline!) After demonstrating that the case was baseless and should never have been brought to trial in the first place, along with his resounding victory in court, Dr. Rifai filed a motion for sanctions and to recoup his substantial legal fees.  In the wake of that motion, one prosecuting attorney was fired, and two others have 'retired.' The motion, as of May 2025, is still in limbo. Dr. Rifai shares his story in an effort to educate all of us, and to empower physicians going through similar circumstances.   

This week, John and Elliot discuss updates to the US Department of Justice corporate enforcement policy, the OCC's priority areas, Transparency International's report on corruption's role in fueling arms diversion, and other items impacting the financial crime prevention community.

US Secretary of Education Linda McMahon has been given an unusual mandate: to end the department she has been tasked with overseeing. As out of the ordinary as that might be, it is the right mission, because the Constitution gives the federal government no authority to govern in education, and the department's practical track record has been terrible.Join us for a very special fireside chat—shortly after the department celebrated its 45th birthday, on May 4th—where we will discuss why the department needs to go, how that can be done, the steps taken so far, and what American education would look like without a federal Department of Education.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITStarting with warm reflections on a Mother's Day celebration with family, this episode quickly pivots to examining pressing current events through a critical lens. We unpack Ukrainian President Zelensky's conditional willingness to meet with Putin following calls for a 30-day ceasefire, raising questions about the nature of media coverage surrounding the conflict. Something feels off about the limited visual evidence we're seeing compared to past wars—why aren't we seeing more footage from Ukraine?The controversy surrounding Qatar's potential gift of a Boeing 747 to temporarily replace Air Force One reveals how easily facts get twisted in today's media landscape. Despite clear statements that any aircraft would be transferred to the US Department of Defense—not to any individual—certain outlets continue pushing misleading narratives. This transparent government-to-government transaction has somehow become yet another political football.A significant bright spot emerges from Maine, where grassroots activism is producing real results. A second school district has voted overwhelmingly (7-1) to repeal transgender policies that had prioritized gender identity over biological reality in facility use. This victory for parental rights and girls' privacy shows what local involvement can accomplish, though the fight isn't complete—sports team participation remains under the Maine Principals' Association's authority, highlighting where future advocacy efforts should focus.The episode wraps with a lighthearted question that's surprisingly thought-provoking: Could you kick in a door if necessary? Have you ever done it? It's the kind of random musing that connects us as humans, making us evaluate our capabilities and share personal stories. Join the conversation and share your door-kicking theories and experiences! The power of local action shown in this episode reminds us that while we may not control global events, we can certainly make meaningful changes in our own communities.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

This episode is all about the history of feeding babies which has been necessary and yet surprisingly difficult since the beginning of mankind. In fact, it's so necessary that to forgo it, up until very recently, the last hundred years or so, was a death sentence for the infant. We don't often think about feeding babies. It's something mothers take care of behind the scenes, part of the invisible load. We certainly don't pause to think about the history of it, the immense challenges faced throughout the ages. But we should. As necessary as infant feeding is, as necessary as it has always been, society still does not make it easy for mothers to pull off. And that should concern you, even if you aren't a mother, even if you aren't a baby. Because you were once, and so was I, and so was literally everyone.

Since 2017, the West's awareness of its strategic vulnerabilities in critical minerals has been growing – yet in reality little progress has been made. How have various policies progressed or hindered the development of a domestic supply chain in the US and the West more broadly? What is the new Trump administration's approach to critical minerals? How is that impacting former efforts like the Inflation Reduction Act? And what does it mean for China and its response? Just how close are we to experiencing an outright scarcity on these critical minerals in the US and the West? And what would that mean for our economies?  Our guest is mining entrepreneur and former Deputy Director for Batteries and Critical Materials at the US Department of Energy, Ashley Zumwalt-Forbes.

Over the first 100 days of the Trump administration, the US Department of Government Efficiency banged the drum of rooting out waste, fraud and abuse across federal programs. At the same time, the White House wants agencies to reduce their budgets and the workforces of the organizations that typically lead those efforts. Federal News Network executive editor Jason Miller joins me to discuss how two of these agencies, the GAO and the postal services Inspector General, made their cases to Congress for more funding to better address waste, fraud and abuse.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

RFK Jr. recently claimed on the Dr. Phil Show that his organization, the US Department of Health and Human Services, will look into the phenomenon of “chemtrails”, and points to DARPA as the offending agency. Despite the abundance of information out there about the factual existence of chemtrails/geonengineering/weather manipulation, many outlets and mainstream establishments continue to call this phenomenon a conspiracy theory.

In an April 23rd executive order (EO), the president of the United States alleges that the Liaison Committee for Medical Education (LCME) and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) are requiring medical schools and residency programs to pursue unlawful discrimination through DEI policies. The EO calls for the US Department of Education to “assess whether to suspend or terminate” them, and to “streamline the process” for recognizing new accreditors to replace them.  In addition, medical journals, including the New England Journal of Medicine, are getting letters from a US Attorney, calling them “partisans in various scientific debates,” and requesting information.  As a follow up to our last episode on authoritarianism and its implications for the medical profession, we consider these new developments from two perspectives: On the one hand we look for evidence to support the government's claims; and, on the other, we consider how they fit into the authoritarian's playbook of capitalizing on polarization to breakdown civil society and consolidate power.  There are things physicians and other health professionals can and should be doing now – and we propose a few -- to protect our profession from an authoritarian incursion that threatens our commitment so scientific integrity, and to a medical education system that, however imperfect, is informed by expert knowledge and professional values.

If you don't know about the newly created US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), there's a strong chance they already know about you.Created on January 20 by US President Donald Trump through Executive Order, DOGE's broad mandate is “modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.”To fulfill its mission, though, DOGE has taken great interest in Americans' data.On February 1, DOGE team members without the necessary security clearances accessed classified information belonging to the US Agency for International Development. On February 17, multiple outlets reported that DOGE sought access to IRS data that includes names, addresses, social security numbers, income, net worth, bank information for direct deposits, and bankruptcy history. The next day, the commissioner of the Social Security Administration stepped down after DOGE requested access to information stored there, too, which includes records of lifetime wages and earnings, social security and bank account numbers, the type and amount of benefits individuals received, citizenship status, and disability and medical information. And last month, one US resident filed a data breach notification report with his state's Attorney General alleging that his data was breached by DOGE and the man behind it, Elon Musk.In speaking with the news outlet Data Breaches Dot Net, the man, Kevin Couture, said:“I filed the report with my state Attorney General against Elon Musk stating my privacy rights were violated as my Social Security Number, banking info was compromised by accessing government systems and downloading the info without my consent or knowledge. What other information did he gather on me or others? This is wrong and illegal. I have no idea who has my information now.”Today on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with Sydney Saubestre, senior policy analyst at New America's Open Technology Institute, about what data DOGE has accessed, why the government department is claiming it requires that access, and whether or not it is fair to call some of this access a “data breach.”“[DOGE] haven't been able to articulate why they want access to some of these data files other than broad ‘waste, fraud, and abuse.' That, ethically, to me, points to it being a data breach.”Tune in today.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro Music: “Good God” by Wowa (unminus.com)Listen up—Malwarebytes...

The civil war in Sudan, which broke out two years ago, has been described by aid agencies as the "worst humanitarian crisis in the world." Today, at a conference in London, delegations from European countries, the African Union, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt pledged to increased aid to Sudan, as well as try to find a pathway to peace. Also in the programme: the US Department of Education says it's freezing around $2.5 billion of federal funding to Harvard University, accusing the institution of fighting White House demands to combat left-wing bias at universities; and a 16th century book about cheese reveals details of Britain's long love affair with the dairy product.(Photo: A woman sits by the roadside after paramilitary Rapid Support Forces attacks on the Zamzam and Abu Shouk refugee camps, near the city of El-Fasher in Darfur.
