Lost Debate - Getting Stoned With Oliver Sacks

Ravi dives into the extraordinary life of Dr. Oliver Sacks, the beloved neurologist and storyteller who humanized medicine. Joined by Bill Hayes – author, photographer, and Sacks’ partner – they explore Sacks’ groundbreaking career, his personal struggles, and the profound empathy he brought to his work that redefined how we understand the human mind.

Bill then shares more about Sacks’ creative process, the transformative power of their relationship, and Sacks’ experimentation with psychedelics, part of a lifelong journey toward self-acceptance and love. Finally, Ravi and Bill reflect on Sacks’ legacy, and what we can learn from his unique perspective on life, death, and the human experience.

The Bulwark Podcast - Jen Psaki: Don’t Speak to Me

The Democrats focus too much on reaching white college-educated voters, and the threat to democracy was not the right closing message. Plus, Nancy Mace needs to get a life beyond getting MAGA street cred, no one wants to be in the same bathroom with MTG, and Jared Polis may be on to something with the hippie-ish libertarians. 

Jen Psaki joins Tim Miller.

Federalist Radio Hour - What Comes Next For The Pro-Life Movement?

On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, joins The Federalist's Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss what comes next for the pro-life movement. While voters rejected radical pro-abortion ballot initiatives in several states despite the left outspending the pro-life movement on messaging, the fight to protect life isn't over. Dannenfelser explains how leaders in the Republican Party can take on the fight to protect life -- and still win.

1A - ICYMI: U.S. Flights Into Haiti Are Grounded. What Happened?

U.S. flights to Haiti are grounded for the next 30 days.

Three U.S. airline flights were fired on last Monday as they attempted to land in Haiti. That led to the closure of Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince. In response, the Federal Aviation Administration has suspended all U.S. flights to Haiti for the next 30 days.

Last week's gunfire came from gangs operating out of Haiti's capital city. It's the latest example of the extent of gang control in the country. Haiti has been in a state of chaos for more than three years since its last president, Jovenel Moïse, was assassinated.

Last Monday also saw a new president sworn into office after the country's interim leader was ousted. Between a new prime minister and the continued presence of foreign security officers in Haiti — we discuss how the country is faring.
