Saving With Steve with Steve Sexton Holiday Budgets, Debt Consolidation, and Bankruptcy Basics with Ashley Morgan Steve Sexton talks with bankruptcy and tax-resolution attorney Ashley Morgan about building a realistic holiday budget, avoiding debt-consolidation and settlement traps, and knowing when Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy makes sense, before closing solo with a warning about rising global bond yields and inflation. Welcoming Ashley Morgan For Year-End Planning Steve Sexton opens the show by thanking his growing audience, noting the program now reaches well over a million listeners in the United States and more than 300,000 overseas, before turning to the topic of year-end planning ahead of the holidays. He introduces Ashley Morgan, founder of Ashley Morgan Law, a consumer bankruptcy and tax resolution firm serving the Washington, D.C. metro area, whose commentary on consumer debt has appeared in Fortune, Newsweek and MarketWatch. Morgan explains that she fell into bankruptcy work almost by accident, taking a job with a boss who ran a consumer bankruptcy and federal criminal defense practice fresh out of law school. She loved the work enough to keep doing it after he became a judge, building her own practice over nearly eight years. She tells Sexton the field rewards her because, unlike drafting a will, she gets to watch clients actually experience relief from crushing debt through payment plans or settlements. Building A Realistic Holiday Budget Sexton asks Morgan how listeners should build a holiday budget as September gives way to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Morgan tells him budgeting scares people because they assume it means restriction, but the real goal is intention: deciding what matters, such as flying home to family, and working backward to find the money, whether by cutting other expenses or picking up extra work. She stresses that most people underestimate their own everyday spending on rent, food and utilities, so building a holiday budget requires first knowing the baseline. Sexton shares a listener's story about discovering a daily six-dollar Coffee Bean habit, taken twice a day, added up to 320 dollars a month, more than her car payment. Morgan says there is nothing wrong with prioritizing coffee, so long as the spender is intentional and adjusts elsewhere, whether by cooking at home, carpooling to save on gas, or reviewing recurring subscriptions and insurance policies that quietly drain money every month. Sinking Funds And The Year-End Financial Checkup Morgan urges listeners to start budgeting for holiday spending as early as January, setting aside roughly 160 dollars a month toward a 2,000 dollar Christmas fund rather than relying on credit cards, and to buy gifts early while watching for sales and coupon codes instead of waiting for inflated December discounts. She recommends sinking funds for periodic expenses and suggests people paid biweekly bank an extra paycheck during the two months a year that produce three paychecks. Sexton recalls Jenny from Ohio, whose family saved 350 dollars a month simply by swapping which spouse drove the gas-guzzling truck. Turning to the broader year-end checkup, Morgan tells listeners now is the time to maximize 401k and IRA contributions, use remaining health savings account funds, and catch up on estimated tax payments before April. On debt payoff, she describes an internal six-month rule: if balances have not moved after six months of the snowball or avalanche method, the plan needs rethinking. Debt Consolidation, HELOCs And Settlement Risk Sexton asks Morgan to explain debt consolidation heading into the new year's debt hangover. Morgan distinguishes true consolidation, where credit card balances are rolled into one loan such as a home equity line of credit, or HELOC, from debt settlement programs, where a company collects payments into an escrow-like reserve and later negotiates with creditors. She warns that consolidation only works with discipline, since reopened credit cards can leave someone with both a new loan and fresh balances. On settlement, she cautions that creditors are never obligated to accept an offer, and a rejected settlement can lead to a lawsuit, wage garnishment, bank garnishment or a real estate lien lasting five to sixty years depending on the state. Sexton walks through an example of a 20,000 dollar balance settled for 10,000, which Morgan says triggers a 1099-C for forgiven debt that becomes taxable income unless the borrower can prove insolvency, a detail she says settlement companies rarely emphasize. Chapter 7 And Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Explained With the holidays over and cards maxed out, Sexton asks Morgan when bankruptcy or restructuring makes sense. Morgan explains Chapter 7 as a liquidation bankruptcy that still lets roughly 95 percent of filers keep their assets, since exemptions like Virginia's roughly 50,000-dollar homestead protect equity, though limits vary sharply by state. Chapter 13, by contrast, restructures debt into a three-to-five-year payment plan and can bring a missed mortgage current without the skipped payments of a forbearance. She distinguishes it from a modification or partial claim, noting unsecured debts like credit cards can be paid anywhere from zero to 100 percent depending on assets and disposable income, while student loans typically survive. On cost, Morgan says Chapter 13 fees are often rolled into the plan, while Chapter 7 typically runs 2,000 to 6,000 dollars and must be paid before filing. She urges anyone struggling to seek advice six months to a year before a crisis rather than waiting for a foreclosure notice. A Closing Warning On Bonds And Inflation Sexton thanks Morgan, who directs listeners to her firm's website and bankruptcy resource hub, before closing the show alone with his weekly economic outlook. He points to global bond yields hitting their highest levels since mid-2008 and Japan's 10-year Treasury yield touching 3 percent for the first time in a century, arguing Federal Reserve chair Waller will struggle to raise rates in September while Treasury official Bessent pursues long-bond buybacks starting September 10th. Sexton says the United States cannot afford a recession and may instead accept structurally higher inflation, a scenario he calls a Hail Mary that erodes purchasing power for retirees in the distribution phase of life. He advises keeping one to two years of living expenses in liquid accounts, favoring shorter-term bonds over long-term bond funds, and adjusting withdrawal rates based on portfolio performance rather than a fixed percentage, so market swings do not force a permanent cut to lifestyle or legacy goals.

Voices of Courage, September 29, 2026 Sep 29, 2026

Voices of Courage with Ken D Foster How Poetry Heals: Words, Seasonal Affective Disorder and Transcendence with Norman Rosenthal Ken D. Foster talks with psychiatrist and author Dr. Norman Rosenthal about how poetry can heal grief and trauma, why he first described seasonal affective disorder, and how Transcendental Meditation shapes his forthcoming book on unity. A Show Built On the Power of Words Ken D. Foster opens Voices of Courage with a preview of the conversation to come, reading a few lines from a poem before rolling the show's intro theme and returning to formally welcome listeners. He tells his audience that words carry an energy, a frequency and a vibration connected deeply to the psyche, and that reading a poem can make the world seem to disappear, carrying a listener back into memory or forward into peace and presence. Foster mentions that he has spent roughly thirty years writing poems himself and has a forthcoming poetry collection called "Echoes of Courage and Grace: Reflections from the Journey Within." He explains that poetry can bypass people's defenses, awaken memory, reveal truth and restore hope in ways ordinary words sometimes cannot. He then introduces his guest, a psychiatrist he says will help listeners understand where words can transform how they think, communicate and show up in the world. Introducing Dr. Norman Rosenthal Foster formally introduces Dr. Norman Rosenthal, welcoming him back to the show and describing him as a psychiatrist who understands darkness from both a scientific and deeply human perspective. He notes that Rosenthal led the team that first described seasonal affective disorder, known as SAD, and that his pioneering work on light therapy has helped millions of people, along with his exploration of meditation, adversity and resilience. Foster highlights Rosenthal's book "Poetry Rx: How 50 Inspiring Poems Can Heal and Bring You Joy to Your Life," calling him a New York Times best-selling author. Rosenthal thanks Foster for having him back. Foster explains he wants to start with poetry, calling it a door to the soul, and mentions his niece in Washington, D.C. who is depressed, wondering aloud whether Rosenthal's book might help her. He asks directly why Rosenthal wrote "Poetry Rx" and what the book is about, opening the door for Rosenthal's story about a phone call with a grieving friend. The Origin Story and Why Words Heal Rosenthal tells Foster the book began with a phone call from a grieving friend who had lost someone dear and asked how he would ever manage. Rosenthal told him that losing is an art that, like any art form, can be developed, prompting his friend to read Elizabeth Bishop's villanelle "One Art" aloud over the phone. Rosenthal recalls feeling the man's relief and his own sense of elation, realizing in that moment that words can actually heal. Foster then asks Rosenthal, as a scientist and psychiatrist, why words heal at all. Rosenthal explains that words carry both meaning and music, a combination that has drawn people around fires for thousands of years to share poetry that produces hope, potency or anger. He says this taps into primitive cognitive and visceral areas of the mind. Foster asks how a poem that triggers anger can still lead someone toward peace, and Rosenthal answers with Dylan Thomas's "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night," written to his dying father, reading several lines aloud. Grief, Struggle and the Music of Words The conversation moves through several more poems Rosenthal has collected. He reads "Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep," telling the story of a Baltimore woman who wrote it for a German refugee unable to return to her dying mother during World War II, and says it gave the most comfort to people he has shared it with who were grieving or dying themselves. He then reads Theodore Roethke's "The Waking," describing how the Pulitzer Prize winner captured the daily struggle of simply getting up in the morning. Foster and Rosenthal discuss poetic structures, from sonnets and villanelles to free verse and the ghazal, before Rosenthal reads Gwendolyn Brooks's short poem "We Real Cool." Turning to why some people resist poetry, Rosenthal argues they may love songs and ballads without realizing these belong to the same family as poetry. He invokes Marshall McLuhan's line that "the medium is the message," arguing that real connectedness, whether around a dinner table or in a poem, communicates that a person matters. Listening, Silence and a Letter to a Mother Foster shifts the conversation toward listening itself, describing himself as a long-term meditator who believes stillness is the key to writing and connecting with the divine part of oneself. Rosenthal responds by reading Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," noting that the poem's quiet imagery magnifies every small sound through silence. Foster compares the experience to cycling, describing a "zone" where time seems to collapse while doing something he loves, and says poetry brings him into that same deep inward space. Rosenthal then shares a personal poem, "Letter to Mother" by Nobel laureate Salvatore Quasimodo, which he read repeatedly before leaving South Africa for the United States, knowing he was leaving his family behind. He describes the poem's closing image of a kitchen clock with an enamel dial and painted flowers, and says he later bought such a clock from Italy that he and his wife still look at, thinking of the people they left behind. Seasonal Affective Disorder, Meditation and Closing Thoughts Foster asks Rosenthal to reflect on his own journey, and Rosenthal answers with gratitude, recalling a near-fatal assault at age twenty-four and crediting the National Institute of Mental Health's funding for making his seasonal affective disorder research possible. The two turn to SAD itself, with Rosenthal describing how his own move from sunny South Africa to New York exposed him and his wife to lethargy, oversleeping and difficulty socializing once daylight savings time shortened the days. He recommends morning light exposure, outdoor walking, staying socially connected and, in some cases, an antidepressant, pointing listeners to his book "Defeating SAD." Foster shares his own story of hearing an inner voice in 1992 tell him he had to feel the pain to make the change. Rosenthal then describes practicing Transcendental Meditation twice daily and outlines stages of consciousness explored in his books "Transcendence" and "Super Mind," previewing a forthcoming book, "Unity," about healing societal division. Foster closes by pointing listeners to Rosenthal's books on Amazon and signing off with the show's closing line.

All Roads Lead 65 Max Radio with Pamela L Henderson Ending Period Poverty Through Reusable Menstrual Cups, Discs, and Underwear with Cherie Hoeger Host Pamela L. Henderson talks with Saalt co-founder and CEO Cherie Hoeger about ending period poverty, the reusable menstrual cups, discs, and underwear her company designs, and why she champions work-life integration over balance. A Warm Welcome And Introduction Pamela L. Henderson opens the broadcast on BBS Radio, describing All Roads Lead 65 Max Radio as a platform she built since 2011 around social growth and inspiring young people to become leaders. She invites listeners to join her broadcasts and directs them to journeyofasapphire.com and allroads65max.org. Henderson introduces her guest, Cherie Hoeger, co-founder and CEO of Saalt, a woman-owned B Corp founded in 2018 with a mission to end period poverty. She notes that Saalt has donated over 160,000 period products across dozens of countries and funded more than 1.3 million days of school for girls, and that Hoeger, a mother of six, believes in work-life integration rather than balance. Hoeger thanks Henderson for the invitation, and the two begin with easygoing small talk about Boise, Idaho, where Hoeger lives, its potatoes, rivers, skiing, and outdoor culture, before turning to the interview. A Family Story Sparks An Idea Hoeger traces Saalt's origin to a conversation with her husband's aunt in Venezuela, who described being unable to find food or basic personal care items, let alone pads and tampons, on store shelves. Investigating reusable options, Hoeger discovered menstrual cups, discs, and period underwear for the first time in her thirties and was startled that cups and discs hold four to six times more than tampons, can last up to ten years, and felt so comfortable she would forget she was on her period. Researching further, she learned the Venezuelan shortage reflected a global problem called period poverty, affecting an estimated 500 million women and girls who lack access to safe products and are forced to use banana leaves, torn mattress padding, paper, or soil and ash. She realized that school drop-out rates rise sharply once girls hit puberty without access to period care, and felt what she calls a moral obligation to act, which led her to found Saalt in 2018. A Live Look At The Products At Henderson's request, Hoeger brings her product table on camera and walks through Saalt's line: menstrual cups that collect flow after being folded and inserted, discs that sit higher in the posterior fornix and can hold up to six times a tampon's capacity, and period underwear built with a patented gusset technology as thin as a nickel. She explains that cups can be worn up to twelve hours on lighter days and need emptying every four to six hours on heavy days, while discs work well for people with a weak pelvic floor or an IUD and can allow for mess-free period sex. The underwear, she says, replaces pads entirely, wicking moisture away through channels that keep the wearer dry. Hoeger describes designing a teen line for her five daughters, who use discs and underwear together, and a postpartum boyshort she wore herself, adding that the underwear also helps with bladder leaks during perimenopause. Fourteen Prototypes And Safety Questions Hoeger explains that Saalt's products went through fourteen design iterations with a freelance 3D CAD designer before reaching the flagship cup, and that the patented gusset technology took four years to develop with textile consultants at NC State's Wilson College of Textiles and forensics experts who study blood and fabric. She addresses toxic shock syndrome directly, explaining that TSS results from staph bacteria entering the bloodstream, often through micro-tearing caused by the oversized super tampons blamed for outbreaks in the 1980s, rather than simply from leaving a product in too long. Because cups and discs are soft and moldable, she says, they cause far less micro-tearing than tampons, making TSS much less common, though not impossible with any product. Hoeger cites an internal study of 188 participants who switched from tampons to cups, in which fewer than ten percent found the switch difficult, and says nine out of ten users never return to disposable products. Stigma, Empowerment, And Integration Over Balance Asked about Saalt's biggest challenges, Hoeger points to marketing and stigma, noting her background as a technical writer for health and fitness textbooks helps her explain complicated products simply. She says advertising restrictions sometimes ban Saalt from using words like period or vagina, even in straightforward health messaging, though she credits Gen Z and Gen Alpha with being far more open about periods, fertility, and bladder leaks than earlier generations. Hoeger and Henderson agree that empowering individuals, more than government or corporate programs, creates lasting ripple effects, since one donated cup or pair of underwear can change a life, a family, and eventually a community. Hoeger also describes rejecting the idea of perfect work-life balance in favor of what she calls work-life integration, citing her company's in-office preschool, walking treadmills, and flexible scheduling that let her be present for both her business and her six children, including her four-year-old son. Closing Advice And Where To Find Saalt Nearing the end of the conversation, Henderson and Hoeger touch briefly on two questions drawn from prepared notes, about a health data platform and a guest named David Wilson, that Hoeger says do not match her own experience, and the two agree to move on. Hoeger closes with advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, quoting Oprah Winfrey's line that the biggest adventure is to live the life of your dreams, and urging listeners not to let imposter syndrome or a lack of formal credentials stop them from pursuing a cause they believe in. Henderson reflects briefly on her own path since founding her program in 2011 and her work with her grandson. Hoeger directs listeners to saalt.com and the handle Saalt Co on Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn, and notes Saalt products are sold at Target, Walmart, Costco, and Amazon. Henderson closes the broadcast with a quote from Hoeger about underfunded women's health research and thanks her guest before signing off.

Brother Jim Shaw Ministries, September 29, 2026 Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

Brother Jim Shaw Ministries From Adam's Flesh to Jesus' Quickening Spirit: Paul's Resurrection Chapter and Victory Over Death Brother Jim Shaw preaches through 1 Corinthians 15, contrasting Adam's natural man with the quickening spirit found in Christ, retelling Paul's dramatic conversion on the road, and closing with Paul's declaration that death is swallowed up in victory. Adam's Lineage And The Chance Of The Cross Brother Jim Shaw opens the broadcast explaining that being in Adam's lineage does not get a person far on its own, but it does grant an opportunity, since mankind's forefathers were made in the image of God and are given a chance to be saved through the cross. Apart from that chance, he says, only fleshly curses pass down from Adam to mankind. He points to Genesis 6 and the interjection of fallen angels, then draws a modern parallel to scientists changing the DNA of mankind in a petri dish before placing it in a womb, producing what he calls two-legged people carrying three DNAs. He insists such beings do not come from the lineage of Adam but from the evils of mankind, and that the distinction matters. He then turns the broadcast to 1 Corinthians chapter 15, preparing to read Paul's teaching on the difference between the natural man and the spiritual man reborn in Christ. Living Soul Versus Quickening Spirit Reading 1 Corinthians 15:45-47, Brother Jim Shaw explains that the first man, Adam, was made a living soul, while the last Adam, Jesus, was made a quickening spirit. Before receiving the spirit of Jesus, he says, a person still has a soul much like an animal, carrying emotions such as love, kindness, obedience, and loyalty alongside lusts, hatreds, and vulnerability to evil spirits seeking to live inside and take over that soul. He calls Adam the natural man, and explains that without the interjection of a reborn spirit, a person inherits the whole tree of knowledge planted in the midst of the garden, all the good works and kindness mixed together with all the evident evil. That, he says, is the natural man's whole mess, unable to separate the good from the corruption because both come bundled together until Christ intervenes and grants a genuinely new nature from above. A Personal Testimony Of Being Blind To Jesus Brother Jim Shaw shares his own testimony, recalling that he was considered a good, likable guy with no objection to rituals, baptisms, confirmations, communions, mass cards, or candles, yet the moment anyone mentioned Jesus directly, something inside him resisted fiercely. He identifies what was inside him plainly as demons, explaining that the natural man, being fallen, wants nothing to do with Jesus even while tolerating religious trappings comfortably. He contrasts a pope who could remain as blind as a bat with a wino on a street corner whose eyes suddenly open to the kingdom, with heaven's angels rejoicing at his entrance. Once reborn and carrying heavenly traits, he explains, a person stops being governed by what is seen, tasted, touched, smelled, or heard, and stops chasing the sense, comfort, and greed realms that Paul repeatedly warned churches about, especially fornication and covetousness. Flesh And Blood Cannot Inherit The Kingdom Brother Jim Shaw reads Paul's statement that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, listing education, initials after a name, money placed in the pew, and even books written as things that remain flesh and blood, often inherited from society, culture, or lineage rather than given from above. He then retells Paul's own transformation, describing how Paul was knocked off his horse, heard a voice, was blinded, and carried off for three days before the apostles, once terrified of him, welcomed a former persecutor of Christians now professing Christ Jesus. Brother Jim notes Paul had been a Pharisee of Pharisees born in the house of Benjamin, educated among religious elites, yet counted it all dung for the knowledge of Christ. He frames Paul's willingness to throw away tradition, ritual, and education, even at the cost of embarrassing his family, as the pattern every believer must follow to truly choose Christ. The Mystery Of The Twinkling Of An Eye Brother Jim Shaw reads Paul's description of a mystery, that not all believers will sleep but all will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet, when the dead are raised incorruptible. He explains that the corruptible body, rotting and decaying under the natural man, will be traded for a new body once the earthly rental unit is returned, and that this corruptible must put on incorruption while the mortal puts on immortality. Everything temporal, he says, aging, loss, and discomfort, will be transformed into eternal life with Jesus, a reality he declines to describe further because it will be too awesome to capture in words. He reads Paul's triumphant line that death is swallowed up in victory, calling the death of the saints the ultimate victory, and Paul's mocking challenge, asking death and the grave where their sting and victory have gone. Grace Gives The Power To Overcome Sin Brother Jim Shaw closes by reading that the sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law, explaining that God's law reveals sin but cannot by itself give anyone the power to overcome it. He teaches that everyone lives under the law before knowing the Lord, but once saved, believers move above the law, following it only because grace supplies the ability to deny flesh and ungodliness. He insists grace is not something fluffy handed out passively, but the miracle of conviction paired with the actual power to fight sin, the very thing that strips death of its sting. Brother Jim ends the sermon with a blessing, declaring Jesus is Lord and saying amen. The announcer returns, thanking listeners and directing them to www.brotherjimshaw.org, a P.O. Box in Vero Beach, Florida, a phone number for the ministry, and Brother Jim's YouTube page for additional messages.

Tony Alamo Program 272: Roman Canon Law, the Wisdom of Proverbs, and a Warning to Bill Clinton Over Waco World pastor Tony Alamo devotes program 272 of his teaching series to Roman canon law and what he calls Satan's seat in Rome, the wisdom of the Book of Proverbs, and a pointed rebuke of former President Bill Clinton over Waco, with scripture readings led by his co-host Sharon Alamo. Program 272 Opens With Roman Canon Law Tony Alamo greets listeners as world pastor, opening part 170 of his series How to Have God's Life Living in You, program 272. He tells listeners Sharon will give four ways to request a free copy, along with a free Messiah book, other literature, or a Bible for anyone who cannot afford one. He turns to his recurring theme, comparing Roman canon law, which he says the United States adopted upon joining the United Nations, with the law of God, calling the two exact opposites. He argues that joining the World Council and the United Nations cost America its wealth and manufacturing, transferring it to Japan, its former World War II enemy. He places the seat of Satan, whom he calls a great red dragon, in Rome, the city of seven hills, and says Rome itself authored democracy, a system he calls rule by an untrustworthy mob, no better than the crowd God drowned in Noah's flood while sparing only eight people. Democracy, Rome, and the Generals Removed From Power Alamo continues his critique of one-world government, warning that God scattered the nations' languages precisely to prevent them combining under a single law originating from Satan's seat in Rome. He claims that during World War II, conspirators secretly built NATO, brought in Russia, and removed the two generals, Patton and MacArthur, he says could have won the war outright, installing General Eisenhower, whom he calls Casper Milquetoast, in their place because Eisenhower favored NATO and one-world government. He tells the congregation he watched a History Channel program confirming democracy originated in Rome, the city of seven mountains, and argues the media functions as the mouth of Satan, shaping opinion until the mob believes lies about Jesus having relationships with women or never truly dying on the cross. He insists God alone should govern, citing Moses as ruler of both church and state, and says he supports dictatorship only when God is the dictator. A Prayer and Jesus Loves Me From the Life Choir Alamo leads the studio in prayer, asking the Father to open hearts and minds so listeners reject what he calls the abominations taught by Satan's government, church, and media, and prays that the 144,000 Jews he expects to be saved receive God's mark before the four angels of the end times destroy the earth. The congregation answers amen. He then teaches that Jesus, as the Word of God, embodies wisdom, power, and mercy, tying the familiar song Jesus Loves Me to that idea before introducing a recording of the Life Choir performing it under the direction of arranger HB Barnum, whom he calls one of the top five arrangers and producers in the world. During and after the performance, Alamo interjects short exhortations about the Word of God leading believers into heaven, telling listeners to raise their hands and praise the Lord for His power, wisdom, and knowledge. Colossians, Proverbs, and the Hidden Treasures of Wisdom Alamo brings in his co-host, Sharon Alamo, to read Colossians chapter 2, verse 3, walking her line by line through its description of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden in Christ, and teaching that love means keeping God's commandments rather than affection or physical intimacy. He turns to the Book of Proverbs, explaining that its key word is wisdom, tracing it to Christ as described in Proverbs chapter 8, and crediting Solomon, whom he calls the principal author, with 333 Old Testament prophecies pointing toward Jesus. He describes Proverbs as God's practical instruction for relating to God, to parents, to children, and to neighbors, and argues temporal life is not real life until surrendered to the Lord. He also mentions his own literature titled The True Believer's Sabbath, teaching that every day, not just one day a week, is Sabbath rest for a born-again Christian, since Christ said the Sabbath was made for man. Solomon's Wisdom, Sin, and Unconditional Love Rejected Alamo continues teaching that Solomon asked God for wisdom rather than riches and became the wisest man in the world until he disobeyed the Lord's instruction to marry only godly women, falling into idolatry in his later years. He warns the same fate can befall anyone who grows careless, insisting love for God is conditional, not unconditional as he says many preachers falsely claim. He rejects the idea that a believer can keep sinning, naming lying, stealing, and sexual sin, and says preachers who promise otherwise are weak and destined for the lake of fire alongside those they mislead. Sharon then reads from Proverbs chapter 8, and Alamo interprets each line as wisdom, meaning Jesus, calling out to sinners in the highest places and at the city gates. He describes his own appearance, joking that his sunglasses, worn because of glaucoma, make some think he resembles the Mafia rather than a conventional preacher. A Warning to Clinton, a Testimony, and a Closing Prayer Alamo turns his warning toward former President Bill Clinton, referencing a news article in which Clinton reportedly called sending troops to Waco his worst mistake, and tells Clinton that what happened there was sin, not a mistake, naming Janet Reno alongside him and urging both to repent and be washed in the blood of Jesus. Running low on time, he has Sharon read a testimonial from a listener named Brother Martin in San Diego, California, describing his eight-year-old son's recovery from a serious virus in Mexico after prayer with the ministry's prayer-line volunteer, Brother Rick. Alamo credits the healing to prayer and invites listeners with illnesses to call or write for prayer. Sharon then reads from 1 Corinthians chapter 1, and Alamo leads the congregation in a spoken sinner's prayer confessing faith in Jesus's death and resurrection. Sharon closes with the ministry's website, Texarkana post office box, phone, and fax numbers before Alamo signs off performing his recording You Can't Take It with You.

Aging Well With Pharmacist Ben Hair Loss Calls, the Triangle of Disease, and the Coffee Shop Interview Philosophy with Tom Chenault Pharmacist Ben Fuchs takes calls on hair loss, thyroid health and dental implants before welcoming longtime friend Tom Chenault, the network marketer and author of The Coffee Shop Interview, to discuss sobriety, personal development and building genuine relationships in business. Beyond Tangy Tangerine and a Big Preview Pharmacist Ben opens the hour thanking what he calls the Pharmacist Ben Singers for an AI-built intro song, then settles into his usual rhythm, joking that he talks so much on Zoom calls and podcasts that even he gets tired of his own voice. He gives out the call-in number, 888-627-6008, and tells listeners he has spent forty years learning to look at the body in a way he calls unique and effective. He pitches Beyond Tangy Tangerine, the Youngevity powder he has taken for thirty years, saying he could not look at himself in the mirror if he did not tell people about it. Ben explains why he loves network marketing as a business model, low-cost to enter at four or five hundred dollars, or thirty dollars for wholesale pricing, and previews the coming half hour with his friend Tom Chenault, plus a Sunday mental-health talk in Lone Tree that Tom is sponsoring. Joni and Joan Call In The first caller, Joni, phones in from Massachusetts after receiving one of Ben's emails, telling him she has listened for about three months and that her late mother, who died in 2018, loved the show for years before that. Touched, Ben invites her to email her mailing address to ben@formulationsciencellc.com for a gift. The next caller, Joan, asks about her own hair loss, and Ben explains that hair is governed by hormones working together: estrogen, testosterone, cortisol and insulin. He describes his root-not-fruit philosophy, insisting that health problems must be traced to their source rather than treated at the surface, and tells Joan to start a free food diary from pharmacistben.com to find foods that cause bloating. He walks her through dosing Beyond Tangy Tangerine by taste rather than by directions, sipping it in water throughout the day, and asks her to call back the following Monday to report her progress. Douglas, Berna and Donna Round Out the Calls Douglas calls next from Jacksonville, Florida, explaining he first heard of the show through Dr. Wallach on Coast to Coast AM and, at sixty-nine, is listening purely to learn rather than to ask a question. Berna calls from Fort Lauderdale, a Youngevity representative of twelve years, asking about her own thinning hair; Ben coins what he calls the Four Hormone Horsemen of Hair Loss, blood sugar, estrogen, testosterone and cortisol, and recommends FucoidZ, Ultimate EFAs, Ocean's Gold and Plant Derived Minerals while describing his triangle of disease, the digestive system and blood sugar system beneath the adrenal glands and thyroid. He previews Wednesday's guest, TMR shake formulator Stan Denniston. Finally Donna, calling from Orlando and originally from Poland, asks whether dental implants are wise at their age; Ben recommends Youngevity's Healthy Bone and Joint Pack before and after surgery and Ultimate Enzymes to reduce swelling, adding that root canals may carry some connection to heart health worth researching. Tom Chenault Joins to Talk Network Marketing With time running short on caller questions, Ben brings on his old friend Tom Chenault, calling him Youngevity's top networker and a gifted network marketer. Tom points to a photo of himself as a homeless man behind him, noting he will mark thirty-eight years of sobriety the next day, and credits network marketing with giving him what he calls the greatest life of anyone he knows. He warns that artificial intelligence threatens nearly every profession except genuine human relationships, and argues that success in the business requires falling in love with people, discovering what is missing in their lives, and helping solve it without a personal agenda. He plugs his book, The Coffee Shop Interview, urging listeners to buy it as a cheap PDF from thecoffeeshopinterview.com rather than pay eight dollars for it on Amazon, and Ben notes that Tom and his wife Denice have been married twenty-seven years. Belonging, Love, Trust and Safety Ben and Tom turn to personal development, with Tom comparing network marketing to Landmark Education, Tony Robbins seminars or Bible study, arguing the same growth applies with a compensation plan attached. He describes a breakthrough from the day before, after a lecture by what he calls a crazy priest made him confront the pain his divorce caused his young children years earlier. Tom distills success into four components he jokingly calls BLTS: belonging, love, trust and safety, saying people who feel all four from someone will do anything for and with them. Ben connects the idea to the nervous system, noting most people live in chronic fight-or-flight, and that offering someone a moment of calm is really an act of love. The two also mention studying Eric Worre's book Pro Code together daily at noon Mountain time on Facebook, treating it as a serious textbook for building the business. Chenault's Health Results and Weekend Plans Tom, now seventy-five, describes wearing a Hume band that reads his biological age as fifty-five against his chronological seventy-five, crediting his results to Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.5, the TMR shake with banana and almond milk, and cutting out fried food, gluten and sugar, while logging over twelve thousand steps and nine hours of sleep most days. He praises the patience of the Youngevity staff in San Diego and healthcare professionals like Dr. Laura Dennison and Dr. Singletary who support representatives. Tom previews the coming weekend, a Saturday Zoom on rheumatoid arthritis with Cheryl Morley, Steve and Michelle Wallach and Louise Adrian, and a Sunday event in South Denver where Ben will speak on the history of nutrition and Dr. Wallach's message. Ben thanks Tom warmly, calling him a beautiful human being, and closes the broadcast by thanking producer Douglas Newsom, who signs off praising the calls.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield California Primary Sabotage, Party Betrayal, and the Fight for Common Sense with Elizabeth and Ron Ahlers Pastor Joe Schofield welcomes back California legislative candidates Elizabeth and Ron Ahlers, joined by co-hosts Pastor Ron Greer and Dr. Paul Hall, for a frank look at primary election sabotage inside their own Republican Party and what it will take to wake up the church. Team Roll Call and the Gospel Message Pastor Joe Schofield opens the Monday night broadcast the way he always does, thanking listeners and restating that Jesus Christ died on the cross for sins and rose again, so that anyone who trusts him can know their eternity is settled while expectations rise for what God is doing now. He notes that two regulars, referred to as Steph and Tank, are away in Dalton, Georgia celebrating an anniversary, then works his way across the country introducing his team: Dr. Paul Hall, a pastor, counselor, and writer calling in from Lompoc on the West Coast, whom Schofield says has been part of his life for fifty-five years, and Pastor Ron Greer in McKinney, Texas, who works as a counselor with the ministry Men in the Mirror. He introduces his wife Melba, a Southwestern Baptist Seminary graduate who works with children and counseling, and points listeners to bbsradio.com/raisingexpectations for more on the program and the team. Introducing Elizabeth and Ron Ahlers Schofield welcomes back Elizabeth and Ron Ahlers, a Southern California couple he says grew up in the same place he did, describing them as an outstanding couple whose faith, family values, and wisdom have made them game changers for the problems facing the nation, the states, and families today. He explains that many listeners have asked about them since their last appearance and shows family photographs before Elizabeth thanks the panel for having them back, saying that in the family of God people remain together forever rather than being discarded once they are no longer useful. She explains that the California primary took place on June second and that candidates needed to finish in the top two to reach the November ballot, but the couple came in third, so they have spent recent months resting and spending time with family while Elizabeth prepares to explain what happened in the race and how she believes God was at work in exposing the truth. Primary Election Sabotage and Party Betrayal Ron Ahlers explains that two candidates who had only recently switched their registration from Democrat or independent to Republican entered the race, one of whom did not even realize the job required moving to Sacramento and filed his paperwork the day the deadline closed, yet received financial backing from established Republicans opposed to Elizabeth. Elizabeth adds that both parties knew she could win and preferred to hand the seat to the Democratic incumbent rather than let a candidate with her values take it. She describes how their local Republican Central Committee, whose job is recruiting winning candidates, wrote letters protesting the county and state party's interference, which exposed to grassroots Republicans how leadership favored personal power over principle. Ron describes mailers from a group called Reform California, led by an assemblyman named Carl DeMaio, falsely claiming an opposing candidate had won an endorsement Elizabeth had actually won, calling it deceit and lying, while Elizabeth notes the fragile, closely contested state party platform and an internal Log Cabin Republican caucus pushing the party away from its pro-family positions. Common Sense, History, and the Church's Role Pastor Ron Greer presses Elizabeth and Ron on what the party establishment is really trying to prevent and protect, and Elizabeth answers bluntly that personal ambition and power matter more to party leaders than winning elections or defending families. Ron Greer cites his own research that California has roughly eight to nine million evangelical Protestant Christians, among the highest concentrations in the country, and argues there is not a single election at any level Christians could not decide if they simply voted, laying the failure at the feet of pastors who preach that politics will not save the country. Schofield agrees, noting that pastors and pulpits led the American Revolution and the Civil War and asking what changed, while Elizabeth describes her work through Salt and Light Council, a national key-turn ministry founded by Diane Reeves that places biblical citizenship materials in churches, and warns that California's new statewide Islamic holiday curriculum may be the shock that finally wakes congregations up. Paul Hall's Common Sense History Lesson Dr. Paul Hall recalls a July statement from a White House official warning that American institutions have grown too soft to defend themselves, then reminds Elizabeth of her own words from March, that she is running to save California for the children coming behind her. He quotes Benjamin Franklin's line that democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on lunch while liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote, then walks through Thomas Paine's 1776 pamphlet Common Sense and its influence on Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence, asking whether common sense can still work in politics when history has been rewritten and the founders forgotten. Elizabeth says her voter base showed real hunger for common sense and anger at party corruption, and Hall follows with a grim list of statistics, California's cost of living, poverty, homelessness, education rankings, and energy and water troubles, concluding that common sense alone tells anyone paying attention that the state is in serious trouble. Ron Greer's Own Battle and a Closing Prayer Ron Greer shares that the Republican Party once tried to stop him the same way, recruiting three twenty-something volunteers to run his own campaign after the establishment blacklisted him, winning a primary against the odds only to have national funding vanish and local leadership work openly against him, until a source told him Republicans and Democrats had privately agreed to protect each other's incumbents in neighboring districts. Elizabeth responds that the same corrupt system explains why the establishment cannot be bought or controlled by people like them and therefore does not want them at all. Schofield closes by quoting Galatians on not growing weary in well-doing, promising to invite the Ahlers back to finish sharing their family photographs, and mentioning a supporter named Janet Collins who is praying for them. With only minutes left, Schofield asks his wife Melba to pray, and she thanks God for using Elizabeth and Ron and asks him to continue blessing them and the whole team before the closing theme plays.

Learn more about Melissa and her work at Melissa-Devine.com. P.S. Ed is all good- just getting older and realizing that. Rachel Corpus welcomes longtime friend and psychic Melissa Devine to answer a listener's question about whether shadow work sabotages manifestation, tracing Devine's path from trauma and addiction to founding her own Devine Alchemy Activation Method and High Priestess training. Ed's Health Scare and Gemma's Question Rachel Corpus opens the show explaining last week's episode was a replay because her husband Ed was not feeling well and made an unplanned trip to the emergency room for a CT scan that came back fine. She reflects that doctors increasingly attribute new aches to simply getting older, and reframes the moment as an invitation to keep tending the body and to navigate life differently rather than accept decline as inevitable. Turning to tonight's topic, she reads a listener question from Gemma in Duvall, Washington, who says she has been doing intense shadow work and wonders whether the heavy energy she is uncovering affects what she manifests, or whether she is overthinking it. Corpus explains shadow work as looking at whatever has been tucked away in the subconscious, like items stored in a closet, and promises that tonight's guest, someone who has manifested dramatic results throughout her own life, will help answer Gemma directly. Introducing Melissa Devine Rachel Corpus introduces her guest, Melissa Devine, a Sacred's Path spiritual teacher, energy practitioner, international psychic, and creator of the Devine Alchemy Activation Method, who blends manifestation, shadow work, energy healing, ritual, and esoteric wisdom and guides students through High Priestess training. Corpus recalls that the two met about eight years ago when Devine came to her for a past-life reading and was later told she would appear on the radio show, a prediction that came true multiple times at pivotal moments, including when Devine first told her untold story and again after she published a book about it. Devine greets Corpus warmly, calling this their "eight-year journey," and Corpus explains that a viewer's question about manifesting arrived just as she felt spirit nudging her to reach out to Devine again, setting up tonight's conversation about how manifestation actually works. Manifesting Through Self-Worth and Limiting Beliefs The conversation turns to Devine's own manifesting history, including quickly attracting a sixty-thousand-dollar laser for her aesthetician business and later choosing to move that business into her home, a shift she frames as expansion rather than failure. Devine describes learning to let wealthy clients into her modest household without embarrassment, calling it a lesson in claiming authenticity. Corpus connects this to her own experience hosting high-profile clients despite a modest rented home, and Devine explains that any negative vibration, like embarrassment or a sense of not deserving, immediately lowers what a person can manifest. She argues that shadow work is not optional: manifestation happens only to the level a person believes, and the most common limiting beliefs she encounters are "I don't deserve this" and "I'm not worth this," often hidden behind an outsized ego that masks low self-confidence. Affirmations, Candles, and Childhood Patterns Devine explains that affirmations rarely work well on their own because the subconscious recognizes an untrue statement and rejects it, though she says small, believable stair-step affirmations can help. Corpus agrees, admitting her own affirmations often trigger internal pushback. Devine instead favors elemental ritual work, describing her longtime practice of writing manifestation goals on paper, turning it face down, and lighting a candle over it nightly until, months later, she discovers how much has come true. She traces most limiting beliefs back to childhood, roughly ages one through seven, shaped by family and environment, and says people are often afraid of shadow work even though she proudly calls herself a "shadow walker." When something a person manifests triggers old pain, she says, that discomfort is simply the shadow work still needing to be done. Trauma, Recovery, and Building a Modality Devine shares that years ago she survived an abduction and eight hours of captivity, escaped, and says the justice system failed to pursue the crime properly; she then spiraled for seven years through bankruptcy, addiction, and suicidal despair before getting sober, a story she later wrote into a book. Sobriety led her directly into manifestation and energy healing work, though she says she initially absorbed clients' pain so intensely that her body reacted physically until a mentor warned the path was unsustainable without boundaries. Devine describes her High Priestess training, rooted in rituals from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn dating to 1888, and a six-month Sacred Alchemy program working with plant allies and deities like Isis and Athena, where students confront core emotions, in her case rage tied to her abduction, with spiritual support rather than alone. Mirror Work and Barbara's Call for Guidance Devine and Corpus compare self-talk practices for combating the belief "I do not deserve to receive," including writing out its origins on paper before releasing it, and mirror work, holding eye contact and speaking kindness to oneself. Devine calls a mirror a kind of portal and describes covering mirrors at night or spacing them from outside walls to limit unwanted energy. Caller Barbara describes a mirror she used for that work shattering as she replaced it, leaving her uncertain how to reclaim her sense of power afterward. Devine suggests Barbara pair strong, declarative invocations with the new mirror, cover it when she needs a break, and use sage in a clockwise sweep over reflective surfaces to clear old energy. Corpus closes the show reminding listeners they are loved and to keep their "halo straight."

Prophecy in the Spotlight with Dan Goodwin Danger in the Last Days: 2 Timothy 3 and Why Self-Love Is the Root of Perilous Times Dan Goodwin and Dr. Charles Hiltibidal open 2 Timothy chapter 3 to argue that the perilous times Paul warned about describe the condition of the church rather than the world, walking through the self-love, compromise, and broken families they see marking Christianity today. Opening: Perilous Times Ahead Dan Goodwin opens Prophecy in the Spotlight alone, telling viewers the broadcast is titled "Danger in the Last Days" and grounding it in 2 Timothy chapter 3. He reads verse 1, "this know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come," and stresses to viewers that Paul is not describing some distant future but conditions Goodwin believes are already here. He explains that "perilous" comes from "peril," meaning danger, and reads ahead to verse 2, where Paul writes that men "shall be lovers of their own selves." Goodwin argues that self-love has become the defining mark of the modern Christian, pointing to how believers now build their lives, beliefs, and priorities entirely around themselves rather than God. He tells viewers that Dr. Charles Hiltibidal is waiting in the studio to dig deeper into the passage, promises the show will not be a lighthearted one, and sends the broadcast to its opening break. Setting the Scene: Christianity, Not the World Back from the break, Dan Goodwin tells viewers the discussion may feel more sober than usual, recalling the show's occasional lighter moments but noting this is "a time of mourning." He and Charles Hiltibidal work through the early verses of 2 Timothy 3 together, and Hiltibidal points to verse 5, "having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof," arguing that the perilous times Paul describes are not a warning about the secular world but about "the condition of Christianity in those last days." Goodwin agrees, noting the world has always lived without Christ while the church was once set apart, with Bible reading, preaching, spiritual leadership, and parental discipline shaping believers' lives. Hiltibidal adds that even young parents in their twenties and thirties now treat church as optional, calling their pastors for advice they would have already heard had they attended the previous Sunday. Both men tie this decline to the "latter times" language of 1 Timothy 4:1 and the last church of Revelation chapter 3, the Laodicean church, which Hiltibidal insists describes Christianity rather than the world. Self-Love, Obsession, and Yielded Members Dan Goodwin returns to the phrase "lovers of their own selves," calling it the key statement of the passage and arguing that every trait Paul lists afterward flows out of that self-love. Charles Hiltibidal agrees, describing the list as character traits of someone who has let his "old man" become spiritualized while still living as before. The two address a common claim that a Christian cannot be influenced by demonic forces, with Hiltibidal clarifying that a believer cannot be possessed, since the Holy Spirit seals the inner man, but can still be "obsessed" through outside influence. Goodwin cites Paul's teaching, likely from Romans, that believers become servants to whatever they yield their members, whether eyes, hands, or thoughts, to. He argues Christians can yield themselves to demonic influence even while remaining saved. Hiltibidal broadens the point to responsibility, saying pastors, Sunday school teachers, deacons, and fathers must guard their households because scripture and preaching have been "watered down" to avoid confronting sin, with churches increasingly excusing compromise as simply belonging to "the Laodicean era." Natural Affection, Abortion, and Broken Walls The conversation turns to the phrase "without natural affection," and Goodwin asks why a woman would want to end her baby's life, answering that it requires the same self-love the passage describes. Hiltibidal points to a man running for the Senate in Texas who identifies as a preacher yet says abortion is acceptable, calling it proof that perilous times have reached Christian leadership itself. Goodwin then raises the old "doctrine of separation," illustrating it with the image of a wall meant to keep children, and especially sons, from wandering off like the prodigal son, and both men lament that courtship and chaperones, common in earlier generations, have largely disappeared because fathers will not enforce boundaries. Hiltibidal shares a personal memory from his pastorate in Dallas, recalling a respected evangelist who fell into adultery, lost his church and family, and wept at his desk confessing he believed God's blessing on his ministry meant the affair would be fine, an example Hiltibidal calls a clear picture of self overruling what a man already knows is true. Money, Debt, and Seducing Spirits Hiltibidal ties the list's word "covetous" to Paul's closing words in 1 Timothy 6:10, that the love of money is a root of evil that has caused some to err from the faith, and warns that Christian leaders today take advantage of their position for personal gain. Goodwin adds that many preachers avoid confronting certain sins because they fear offending the large donors who keep their churches running, and Hiltibidal suggests some leaders have built such debt through buildings and the appearance of success that they cannot risk losing that income. The men then return to 1 Timothy 4:1, where "the Spirit speaketh expressly" that in the latter times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to "seducing spirits" and doctrines of devils. Hiltibidal blames a lack of personal devotion, guessing that the vast majority of preachers, deacons, and Sunday school teachers never open their Bibles or spend quiet time with God before starting their day, leaving them vulnerable to whatever consumes their attention instead, a habit he says shapes much of what is wrong with Christianity today. Boasting, Pride, and a Call to Repent Working through the rest of Paul's list, Hiltibidal describes "boasters" as those who claim accomplishments and knowledge they do not truly have, and "proud" as those who consider themselves superior because of a larger congregation or following. He calls "blasphemous" not blasphemy against God directly but leaders who promote practices, which he says are unbiblical, while claiming spiritual authority, and ties "disobedient to parents" to fathers who refuse to set standards for their children's dress and conduct, warning that many preachers have lost their families by living one way in the pulpit and another at home. On "unthankful," Hiltibidal contrasts self-centered American believers with joyful Christians he has met in Uganda who own almost nothing, and a miserable millionaire he has also visited. He defines "unholy" as living by the old sinful nature while claiming spiritual justification. Goodwin closes by summarizing that self-love drives every trait on the list, urging viewers to be certain of their salvation and to walk with God, before signing off telling them to keep their eyes on the skies.

Here's To Your Health with Joshua Lane with Joshua Lane Skyhorse Publishing's Censorship Fight and the Hidden Merck MMR Vaccine Report with Tony Lyons Joshua Lane talks with Skyhorse Publishing president Tony Lyons about publishing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s bestselling, heavily censored book on Anthony Fauci, then spends the second half of the hour walking through a former FDA commissioner's report on Merck's mumps vaccine and a new poll on shrinking MMR confidence. Joshua Lane Welcomes Tony Lyons Of Skyhorse Joshua Lane opens Here's To Your Health by welcoming Tony Lyons, president and publisher of Skyhorse Publishing, a house he says has placed more than one hundred titles on the New York Times bestseller list in roughly twenty years. Lane reads praise from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now Secretary of Health and Human Services, who calls Skyhorse's willingness to tackle tough issues "a critical cog in our democracy," and from Julian Lennon, son of John Lennon, who credits Lyons with giving his children's book series "the perfect home." Lane notes that Lyons is viewed as controversial in some quarters for publishing authors who question vaccination and mainstream health narratives, and asks what pushed him to found a company built around outsider voices. Lyons thanks Lane for having him on and settles in to explain his philosophy of publishing before the conversation turns to specific titles and the reaction they have drawn. Lyons On Publishing Dangerous, Disturbing Books Lyons tells Lane he was "born the kind of person who questions everything" and takes pride in publishing books other houses are afraid to touch. He argues books ought to be "dangerous and disturbing," designed to promote curiosity, skepticism and discomfort rather than simply confirm what readers already believe. Reading only to reinforce existing biases, he says, is like taking an Epsom salt bath, pleasant but pointless, while real reading should leave someone questioning their job, their habits or their whole way of living. Lyons says he feels sorry for critics who accuse Skyhorse of recklessness, arguing that publishers controlled by mainstream narratives are the ones failing readers by limiting freedom and progress. Lane, who says he regularly hosts Skyhorse's wellness authors, agrees the approach is fair and steers the conversation toward the company's biggest and most contested success, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s book about Anthony Fauci, asking Lyons directly how many copies it has sold. The Real Anthony Fauci And Its Censorship Lyons reports that The Real Anthony Fauci has sold 1.4 million copies and calls it likely the most censored book in modern history, describing how bookstores, libraries and websites refused to stock or sell it soon after release. He says Kennedy worked on the book seven days a week without pay, donating every royalty to Children's Health Defense, the nonprofit he founded, and argues that integrity built the broader movement around him despite relentless vilification in major newspapers and television. Lane adds context from Kennedy's earlier career founding Riverkeeper and cleaning up the Hudson River against General Motors, General Electric and the Army Corps of Engineers, noting Kennedy once earned praise from Time magazine. Lyons contrasts today's measles anxiety with the 1960s, when he says roughly 400 Americans died among twenty million measles cases and families held measles parties, arguing infectious disease deaths fell through sanitation and hospitals rather than vaccines alone. Kennedy's Broader Health Message And Sign-Off Lyons broadens his argument to the American health system, citing a claim from the British Medical Journal's editor that as much as forty percent of peer-reviewed science amounts to advertising for pharmaceutical products, and noting the United States spends three times more than other industrialized nations on healthcare while ranking near the bottom on outcomes. He recounts Kennedy pressing CNN anchor Dana Bash on air to produce the two hundred studies she cited proving vaccines and autism are unconnected, studies Lyons insists do not exist. He credits Kennedy's first twenty months in office with shifting public conversation on seed oils, beef tallow, ultra-processed food and the food pyramid. Lane closes the interview by referencing last week's guest, researcher William Parker, on Tylenol and autism risk, then thanks Lyons warmly for making time in a busy schedule before the two say goodbye and the show breaks for advertisements and a promo for another BBS program. Kessler Report Exposes Merck's Mumps Vaccine After the break, Lane returns alone to walk through a report from Dr. David Kessler, former FDA commissioner under both the George H. W. Bush and Clinton administrations, prepared for the Krahling v. Merck & Co. lawsuit and summarized by Children's Health Defense reporter Brenda Baletti. Lane reads Kessler's finding that Merck's MMR II mumps component lost potency before its labeled shelf life ended as early as 1998, and that rather than recalling doses, the company sought new testing methods and secretly overfilled vials with extra live virus starting in 1999 without safety or efficacy trials at the higher dose. Lane details how roughly twelve million low-potency doses reached the public regardless, how whistleblowers Stephen Krahling and a colleague identified in the transcript as Joan Wzkowski sued under the False Claims Act in 2010, and how a 2023 federal ruling dismissed the case on materiality grounds Lane says he finds hard to understand. New Poll Finds Cracks In MMR Trust In the final segment, Lane cites a new Reuters poll reported by Children's Health Defense scientist Brian Hooker showing confidence that the MMR vaccine is safe for children fell from 84 to 76 percent even as measles outbreaks made headlines in Pennsylvania, Utah and South Carolina. He notes only 19 percent of respondents approved of the administration's outbreak response, and that Senators Rand Paul and Ron Johnson stand out to him as the only lawmakers pressing the issue. Lane walks through VAERS figures showing over 95,000 adverse events and 500 deaths reported after MMR vaccination, the 2010 vaccine court award to the family of Hannah Poling, and President Trump's executive order shifting the eighteen-vaccine childhood schedule toward the eleven-vaccine European model and separating MMR into single shots. He closes by thanking listeners, inviting guest suggestions at joshlanewellness@gmail.com, and wishing everyone a healthy evening.
