The US has bombed three major nuclear sites in Iran, bringing the country directly into the Israel-Iran conflict. Iran's Foreign minister has described the US strikes as "outrageous" and says Iran is reserving "all options to defend its sovereignty". We get an update from our correspondent in Jerusalem and discuss if an argument can be made from religiously-based ethics, for Israel's actions? Israel contends that its attack on Iran is legal under international law because it represented a form of pre-emptive self-defence. William Crawley speaks to Emad Kiyaei, director at the Middle East Treaty Organization (METO), and co-author of Middle East Weapons of Mass Destruction: A new approach to non-proliferation; and Dr Ezra Tzfadya, Senior Fellow at the Centre for Middle East Studies at Indiana University-Bloomington, where he convenes the US Department of Education sponsored "Shia Islamic and Jewish Legal Reasoning in Dialogue" project.MPs have voted to accept the Assisted Dying Bill which will allow a terminally ill person to legally end their life through medical means.

Covered California is leading the way in making healthcare more accessible and equitable. Under the leadership of Executive Director Jessica Altman, the state's health insurance marketplace has reached nearly 2 million enrollees, setting new records for affordable health coverage in California. In this episode, Jessica dives into how Covered California's innovative outreach, tailored language support, and affordability programs are closing the coverage gap, especially for freelancers, gig workers, and families who often fall through the cracks. Jessica draws on her roots in healthcare policy, shaped by family and her work at the US Department of Health and Human Services, to explain why insurance is so complex and how California's unique blend of state and federal policy makes a real-world difference. We discuss why the “last mile” to coverage is often the hardest, how creative partnerships with community organizations break down language and cultural barriers, and why affordability remains the foundation of any successful health insurance system. This episode also tackles the impact of the Affordable Care Act, the pros and cons of state vs. federal insurance regulation, and what other states can learn from California's investments in outreach, Medi-Cal expansion, and targeted subsidies. Jessica shares real examples of how public opinion around coverage is shifting as families experience the benefits firsthand, and why Covered California's commitment to customer service is rebuilding trust in a system long seen as confusing and impersonal.

I would say just, think about your story a lot. You have a story. Don't underestimate your story. Your story is a collective story of your parents, your neighborhood, your neighbors, your books. It's all part of your story, so don't underestimate your story. Please tell your story, talk about yourself, talk about, the environment you grew up in, things that bothers you. Talk about it. It matters a lot when we talk about our personal things. A lot of people, a lot of time people shy away, they avoid talking about themselves because they think it's showing off.  I don't think it's showing off. You are at your most authentic self when you just talk about your story as your story. So please don't underestimate your stories. We might pick up one of your stories and make a movie out of it.

The next time you or your kids get a shot at the doctor's office or face anything that you know is going to be painful, there is a little trick you can use that should reduce the pain substantially. Listen as I explain what it is. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn27514-hold-your-breath-to-dampen-the-pain-of-an-injection/#.VVTKyZO_Heb What is it about persuasive people? They just have that “something” that makes us want to listen, to be around them, and in many cases, do what they ask. Why are some people more persuasive than others? What strategies can we all use to be more influential and persuasive. Here to offer some great insight into the workings of persuasion is Abbie Maroño. She is a scientist and a practitioner in the field of human behavior and is recognized by the US Department of State as being in the top 1% of behavior analysis experts. She has delivered specialized behavioral analysis training to the U.S. Secret Service, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and local law enforcement agencies. She is author of the book The Upper Hand: Mastering Persuasion and Getting What You Want with the Science of Social Engineering (https://amzn.to/4jwGF59) Did you know that compared to many other species, humans have a high rate of genetic diseases. Wouldn't you think by now that evolution and "survival of the fittest" would've weeded those out? What science has recently discovered, about DNA and genetics is astonishing and is helping us understand how genetics work, how diseases are passed on, how genes can mutate and make us sick, why we have such a high rate of genetic diseases and how we may soon be able to fix or prevent some of it. Joining me to discuss this is Lawrence Hurst. He is a professor of evolutionary genetics at the Milner Centre for Evolution at the University of Bath and author of the book, The Evolution of Imperfection: The Science of Why We Aren't and Can't Be Perfect (https://amzn.to/3ZgOjJS) There are things in your kitchen you need to get rid of.

In 1963, a time of heightened suppression of Black Americans to their civil rights, President Kennedy invited 244 lawyers to the White House, calling on them to use their expertise and influence to move the civil rights struggle from the streets into the courts. That call to action launched The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a nonprofit that for 63 years has tackled discrimination against people of color and championed the right to full participation in civic life. In this episode of Power Station, I am honored to feature Rob Weiner, Director of the Committee's Voting Rights Project. which challenges efforts at the state and national levels to disenfranchise voters of color. It is notable and moving that until recently Rob was Senior Counsel at the Voting Rights Division at the US Department of Justice. He explains that under the Trump administration, the DOJ has abandoned its mission to protect the right to vote and is instead trafficking in disproven claims of voting scams and election fraud. Rob and his colleagues at the Lawyers Committee are boldly pushing back against executive orders, redistricting schemes and narratives that seek to weaken hard-won civil rights. And they are winning. Hear him!      

The lawsuit filed last week by Governor Josh Shapiro against the US Department of Agriculture deals with the termination of a three-year, $13 million dollar food assistance contract. That funding also affects food assistance programs for needy Pennsylvanians. And a PA food bank advocate speaks out against the cuts. Solar energy companies across the region are reeling at the prospects of rollbacks to the green energy tax credits, with thousands of jobs at stake. As the school year winds down, colleges and universities are preparing to send out bills for the next academic year. With that in mind, the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency is lining up a series of free webinars - which launch tomorrow - aimed at helping students and families. Beginning the night of Memorial Day and continuing through the summer until Labor Day, Taps is played in Gettysburg. The program, in its ninth year, called 100 nights of Taps, is organized by Wendy Allen, a Gettysburg gallery owner known for her paintings of Abraham Lincoln who serves as president of the board of directors for the Lincoln Fellowship of Pennsylvania.

Government efficiency is THE topic of conversation since the start of President Trump's second term. But does the government already have the tools to prevent waste, fraud and abuse? Who's conducting oversight already, and how?We're joined by U.S. Comptroller General Gene Dodaro and Inspector General of the Department of Justice Michael Horowitz to talk about how the government already has a substantial efficiency toolkit that predates the Department of Government Efficiency.

Parker Bowles and Derek Williamson from cleanrefineries.com and their mission developing and building for the future of energy and clean hydrocarbon processing. From cleanrefineries.com - THE FUTURE OF HYDROCARBON PROCESSING IS HERE . . . Discover a greener, cleaner future where production is not only efficient, but also environmentally sustainable. CRI develops and markets an innovative, highly disruptive, and patented hydrocarbon processing technology. This technology is used to manufacture high margin products like asphalt, naphtha, kerosene, diesel, gasoline, aviation fuel, etc. all with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions as well as net-zero carbon dioxide. OUR TECHNOLOGY NET-ZERO EMISSIONS, INFINITE POSSIBILITIES. NET-ZERO GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS & NET-ZERO CARBON DIOXIDE Our patented technology, which has been in production since 2017, surpasses government emissions regulations by generating net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and net-zero carbon dioxide. This qualifies our project for federal and state funding, grants and tax credits through the Infrastructure Act, US Department of Energy, Green Road Initiatives, Pace Program, and more. SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR A HUGE INFRASTRUCTURE NEED CRI addresses the growing demand for low carbon transportation materials by meeting the needs of highway infrastructure projects. With traditional processing facilities closing worldwide, we are positioned to provide critical products like asphalt to bridge the supply gap, particularly in the US. The massive shortage of asphalt in the country presents a significant opportunity for expansion. WHY CRI? FUELING THE FUTURE, RESPONSIBLY. CRI • 3,400 – 100,000+ BPD capacity • Net-zero greenhouse gas emissions • Closed loop system efficiently recycling process gas + lower temperature / pressure system = lower energy consumption and operating costs • Feedstock flexibility to meet desired output mix • Modular facility operates on small footprint. Easier permitting process and $75 - $150 million upfront capital expenditures enables 12 month construction TRADITIONAL REFINERIES • 150,000+ BPD capacity • Difficult / impossible new construction permitting due to political / regulatory environment • Notorious emitter of greenhouse gases and toxic greenhouse gases • Large footprint for new, large capacity refinery requiring $5 billion capital investment and 5 – 7 year construction • High operating costs, using expensive catalysts • Closures gradually shrinking universe of large scale US refineries CRI possesses a distinctive technology capable of converting hydrocarbons into fuels and asphalt binder, all while avoiding the emission of greenhouse gases. This well-proven technology has undergone over five years of successful commercial-scale operation. It has the capacity to produce a diverse range of fuels and asphalt binder, which are crucial components for meeting the infrastructure requirements of the United States. Our objective is to implement this processing technology through our direct investment and by licensing it to potential partners.

Trump's tariffs were initially banned – before being overturned within a day. A federal court had blocked the tariffs on Wednesday night after three judges ruled that Trump had overstepped his authority when introducing them. But just a day later the decision was temporarily paused after a federal appeal court reinstated the tariffs. The White House now says they will “win this battle in court”. We explain what it all means and dig deeper into the legal aspect of the economic measures.Also on the programme: Israel has announced a major expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank. More than twenty new settlements have been approved. We hear from a Settler and a Palestinian living in the West Bank. And, Elon Musk has left the US Department of Government Efficiency, also known as Doge. We speak to someone who was also given the task of ‘reinventing government' efficiency during Bill Clinton's time in power to discuss how effective Musk really was in his job.(Photo: IBEX rises 0.49 percent pending the blocking of Trump's tariffs, Madrid, Spain Credit: VEGA ALONSO DEL VAL/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock)

From the Trump administration's 'skinny budget' that aims to cut $12 billion from the US Department of Education to the latest version of the state budget which underfunds Ohio's public schools by $2.75 billion in the next two years, threats at the federal and state levels make it more important now than ever the educators stand up for the supports and resources our students need. There are also opportunities to make our schools even better, including proposed legislation to support school meals and to provide financial support for student teachers. OEA Director of Government Relations breaks down some of the big issues, and tells us what we can do to make a difference right now.TAKE ACTION NOW | Click here for the OEA Action Alert to contact your state lawmakers and tell them to fully and fairly fund our public schools in this state budget.  Click here to sign a petition to protect Ohio's classrooms and support the Fair School Funding Plan. Click here for a flyer with QR links and information to help encourage others to take action, too. TELL YOUR STORY | Lawmakers need to hear from Aspiring Educators and active educators about what working full time as a student teacher while paying full tuition and receiving no compensation has meant in your own life, and why things need to change. Please contact OEA Government Relations if you have a story to share when HB 205, the Future Educators Support Act, comes up for proponent testimony.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
