Saving With Steve with Steve Sexton

Weight-Loss Drug Safety, Compounded GLP-1 Risks and Legal Liability with Rusty Reynolds

Steve Sexton talks with personal injury attorney Rusty Reynolds about the hidden risks of compounded and unapproved GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, who can be held responsible when patients are injured, and closes solo with a warning on Treasury yields and market concentration.

Welcoming Rusty Reynolds And The GLP-1 Topic
Steve Sexton opens the Saving with Steve Show by thanking his growing international audience before introducing the topic: the explosive growth of weight-loss injections and whether patients truly know what is inside the vials they use. He notes that federal regulators are confronting compounded drugs, illicit GLP-1 products and purported versions of experimental medications never approved for human use, and asks who could be responsible if a questionable product causes serious injury. He introduces personal injury attorney Rusty Reynolds, founder and partner of the Reynolds and Reynolds Law Firm, correcting himself after briefly calling the firm by the wrong name. Reynolds thanks him and says he is glad to be here. Sexton recalls hearing about people who painlessly lost their eyesight from these treatments, setting up a conversation about trust, regulation and the chain of responsibility behind compounded weight-loss drugs reaching consumers nationwide.

Compound Pharmacies And The Question Of Trust
Reynolds explains that patients rarely know what is truly in a vial until an injury forces a diagnosis, so the real issue is trust rather than certainty. He describes two kinds of compound pharmacies in the United States, the batch-style 503A pharmacies regulated by the FDA and the 503B pharmacies that customize medication per patient prescription. When demand for a brand-name drug outpaces supply, compounders are permitted to recreate the formula from raw ingredients without deviating from the recipe, a workaround around patent protections meant to let supply catch up with demand. Reynolds says many compounders rush to meet that need without the pharmaceutical-grade capacity of the brand names, raising risk. He advises patients to work through their primary care physician, who knows their history and medications, rather than through social media sellers or gyms that may not know or care about a patient's full medical picture before dispensing a compound.

Unapproved Peptides Like Retatrutide
Sexton asks about retatrutide, a drug not yet approved for human use that lawsuits allege is already being sold to consumers. Reynolds explains that many peptides and variations circulating online lack the testing and reliable scientific study that approved GLP-1 drugs have undergone. He says the supplement and peptide industry borrows the trust people place in doctors, hospitals and nurses, often the highest trust many carry, and transfers it to unproven products promising vague benefits like feeling or looking better. Sexton notes that price plays a role too, since GLP-1 drugs that once cost roughly a thousand dollars have fallen toward one or two hundred dollars, or even less, as competition grows. Reynolds warns that unusually cheap pricing should raise the same question as any too-good-to-be-true offer, since producing a pure compound that matches a brand-name recipe carries real costs, and shortcuts taken to hit a lower price point are exactly what can introduce contamination or toxicity.

Eyesight Loss, Gastrointestinal Harm And Hidden Risk
After a break, Sexton returns to the injuries patients report, starting with painless vision loss, which Reynolds calls the most prominent case his firm has forensically investigated by preserving and testing the actual vial used. He explains that GLP-1 drugs can worsen pre-existing conditions, describing how diabetics or pre-diabetics with hardened arteries can experience a sudden blood pressure or fluid shift that starves the optic nerve and causes blindness. He also details gastrointestinal harm, including malnutrition, slowed intestines leading to bowel obstruction, and aggravation of conditions like diverticulosis or ulcers that a patient may not even know they have. Sexton, a colon cancer survivor, shares his own experience with a chemotherapy drug interaction involving zinc, drawing the parallel that every supplement and condition needs to be disclosed to a qualified physician, since an undiagnosed predisposition combined with an unsupervised GLP-1 dose can turn a treatment into a serious, sometimes irreversible injury.

Who Is Responsible When Something Goes Wrong
Sexton asks who can be held responsible when a weight-loss injection seriously harms a patient, given how many hands a product passes through: online sellers, compounders, pharmacies, telehealth providers and prescribers. Reynolds says liability could rest with any or all of them, since his firm performs a root-cause analysis of the relationships between marketing companies, prescribers and compounding pharmacies, examining whether a corporation improperly influenced medical decision-making in violation of rules against corporations practicing medicine. He notes telehealth expanded access to care during COVID but can also be exploited by businesses built around marketing, a hired prescriber and a compounding deal rather than genuine medical judgment. He urges anyone injured to preserve every remaining vial and injectable, disclose every medication and supplement to treating doctors, and contact a healthcare liability attorney, explaining that his firm evaluates whether a provider failed to meet a reasonable standard of care and caused the harm.

Closing Warning On Treasury Yields And Market Concentration
After thanking Reynolds and directing listeners to rrlfirm.com, Sexton closes the hour alone with a solo lesson on the bond market. He explains that the 10-year Treasury yield, which sets the baseline for borrowing costs worldwide, has pushed above five point three percent, breaking through 2007 highs, even as stocks keep climbing on the strength of a small group of technology companies. He warns that nearly forty percent of individual S&P 500 companies have actually lost value, meaning popular index funds are far less diversified than investors assume, citing the Vanguard Information Technology fund, where ten massive stocks make up over sixty-three percent of holdings. Sexton urges listeners between forty-five and sixty-five, and those already retired, to review what they actually own, build guardrails, and ask whether their portfolio can absorb losses if that concentration unwinds, framing the moment as one for calm adjustment rather than panic.

Voices of Courage with Ken D Foster

S10EP11, Come Home to Nature with Michael Schauch

What happens to the human spirit when we spend our days indoors, online, and overwhelmed? We get louder, faster, and more divided, and we forget the stillness that already lives inside us. In this episode of Voices of Courage, we explore why reconnecting with nature is one of the most powerful things you can do to quiet the mind, open the heart, and remember who you really are.

Host Ken D Foster is joined by alpinist and award-winning author Michael Schauch. He has climbed deep into the Himalaya, and he brings back a message about connection, courage, and what nature can teach us about ourselves.

Michael is a mountaineer, author, and member of the Explorers Club. His first book, A Story of Karma: Finding Love and Truth in the Lost Valley of the Himalaya, was published by Rocky Mountain Books and has earned praise from Wade Davis, Stephen Cope, and Paula Arai, as well as Kirkus Reviews and BlueInk (starred). For over a decade, he has mentored and supported Tibetan Buddhist youth in Kathmandu, Nepal. His writing has appeared in Elephant Journal, Unity Magazine, and Thrive Global. He holds an MBA from Queen's University and lives in Squamish, BC, with his wife, Chantal. His newest book, Anattā: Heart of Wisdom (Hohm Press), weaves contemplative essays and poetry with stories from the Himalaya to explore the Buddhist idea of "non-self" and how nature restores our sense of belonging.

Key Takeaways:
Why is nature a mirror that reveals the patterns of your own mind?
How does stepping into the wild help you reconnect with what truly matters?
What the Buddhist idea of shunyata means, and how it loosens the grip of fixed stories about who you are?
How resolving conflict within yourself is the starting point for peace with others?
Practical ways to quiet the mind, dissolve reactive habits, and respond with compassion

Ark of Grace with Amanda Grace

France Is Burning, Purim Is Doubled, and a Bush Rises: A Midterm Warning to America

Amanda Grace opens live on October 20, 2026, to read the riots in France and the Leaning Tower of Pisa controversy as prophetic warnings for America, walking through old words of the Lord, the book of Esther, and a 2022 dream of a dark army invading Europe before closing with updates on her recovering goats and sanctuary work.

Opening Greetings and a Covering Prayer
Amanda Grace opens her October 20th broadcast greeting viewers state by state and country by country, from New Jersey and Florida to Norway, Sweden, Australia and New Zealand, thanking her Ark of Grace moderators for keeping the platform running. She tells the audience it will be a power-packed night of prophecy tied to events unfolding in Europe. Before praying, she shares that her husband Chris is upstairs reading the get-well cards viewers have mailed him and that the ministry is working on thank-you letters in response. She then leads an extended prayer invoking Jesus Christ and the Ruach HaKodesh, asking for angels to guard every dimensional access point, for every curse, spell and scheme aimed at her team to be dismantled and reversed on the sender, and for nothing to leave her mouth that has not first passed through God's throne. She closes the prayer naming the Hebrew titles of God before turning to the night's teaching.

France Burns and the 9/11 Code
Amanda Grace reads a Fox News investigation naming fifty-four communist, labor and activist groups behind France's unrest, noting that a quoted organizer, Vijay Prashad, is funded by a US-born backer living in Shanghai. She finds what she calls hidden 9/11 arithmetic in the figures, fifty-four and thirty-eight reducing to nine and eleven, and ties it to a word she says she received on December 26, 2021, about a coming leak exposing a hidden who's who. She reads a New York Post account of rioters burning the historic Limoges town hall and 1,800 arrests, linking it to earlier words dated January 2025 and May 2026 that predicted France's implosion, England's collapse and a historic building falling. She adds a report of a Palestinian flag displayed on the Leaning Tower of Pisa, matching it to a 2021 word that the tower would lean too far and fall as chaos broke out in France.

Synagogues, Purim, and a Warning to Washington
Amanda Grace reads a Fox News Digital report that some French synagogues canceled Sabbath prayers and warned Jewish members to hide outward signs of faith amid the unrest. She explains that since 9/11 the Jewish calendar entered the leap year 5787, which contains two Purims, and reads Esther chapter 3 on Haman casting lots to destroy the Jewish people, arguing France's leadership struck a similar backroom bargain with dark forces. She warns that the same Purim pattern is reaching America ahead of the midterms and quotes President Trump telling supporters America could mirror France if Republicans lose. Turning sharply to the Republican Party, she accuses it of two years of inaction on the Save America Act and backroom deal-making, warning lawmakers using Esther's language that silence now will not spare them, and that only standing firm rather than compromising, as Ephesians 6 instructs, will work against a spiritual root rather than ordinary politics.

Haman Hidden in the Headlines
Amanda Grace reads a Fox News Digital report that Representative Ilhan Omar's sister, Sahra Noor, was questioned by federal investigators after an HSI raid tied to an immigration fraud probe. She claims the name Haman is hidden inside Ilhan Omar's name, and inside the names of Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed, calling it a sign of the Purim pattern now unfolding in Congress. She reads a 2023 word of the Lord predicting the Squad would scatter like chaff, and a March 2026 word warning Omar she is one step from total collapse and will be charged as the Lord once charged Pharaoh, Haman, Goliath and Sodom. She tells viewers that the vacuum left by Republican inaction is being filled by figures like James Talarico and Abdul El-Sayed, and that only engaging spiritually, not repeating familiar political rhetoric, will counter it.

A Bush, a Dream, and an Open Gate
Amanda Grace reads a report that Barbara Bush donated to a PAC backing Democrat James Talarico's bid to flip a Texas Senate seat, calling it the start of a prophesied burning bush moment twenty-five years after 9/11, under her father's presidency. She reads older words, from 2022 through August 2026, forecasting falls among former presidents and a bush being uprooted as a sign to the nation, and says Texas matters because Democrats are casting lots for it ahead of 2028. She then recounts a dream from June 2022, received the night Roe v. Wade was overturned while she attended a conference in New Jersey: exhausted European leaders on horseback opening a castle gate, letting in a vast army on black horses led by a half-veiled figure with a crystal-topped staff, which she identifies as the spirit of antichrist. She warns that Europe is the appetizer and America the prize, tying it to the 1683 Battle of Vienna and Genesis 16:12's prophecy of Ishmael.

Sanctuary Updates and Closing Encouragement
Amanda Grace shifts from prophecy to ministry updates, reporting that the goats Ray and James and the horse Duchess, who needed dental surgery, are all doing well and coming home from Cornell Large Animal Hospital the next day, with their homecoming to be filmed. She thanks Cornell for its care and reminds viewers of the ministry's free weekday prayer line. She describes behind-the-scenes outreach including Mission Christ Love for people facing financial hardship, a partnership with a crisis pregnancy center in Poughkeepsie, support for Safari Missions' work with pastors in Kenya and the Congo, and aid to groups like Heroes for the Nation and the Walter Hoving Home. She promotes sponsors Givaderm skincare and MyPillow with discount codes before closing, encouraging viewers to pray Ephesians 6, Psalm 91 and the Lord's Prayer daily, noting Little Buster the dog slept through the broadcast, and promising to return live Thursday.

Sons of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean

What Americans Are Exposed to Today Is Not at All What the Law Permits

In a solo broadcast, Bradlee Dean argues that pop music, Hollywood film, and public figures have normalized what American law once forbade, tracing the shift from the 1930 Motion Picture Production Code to today's culture through personal stories, celebrity hypocrisy, and scripture.

Music, Hypocrisy, and the Pop-Culture Agenda
Bradlee Dean opens the broadcast with Socrates's line about controlling a nation through its music, then turns a hard eye on contemporary pop culture. He criticizes Katy Perry's televised crucifixion imagery, Beyoncé's performance of "Naughty Girl," and Madonna's witch-costumed stage appearance, arguing each promotes what he calls abomination rather than entertainment. Dean asks whether musicians are simply performing or whether, as MTV co-founder Bob Pittman, shock artist Marilyn Manson, and guitarist Tom Morello have each said in quotes he reads aloud, music is deliberately used to seed political messages before legislation follows, citing gun control, marijuana, and homosexual marriage as examples. He reads a neurologist's remark that no brain science matches a song's power over mood, reinforcing his claim that entertainment precedes policy. He frames the segment as an extension of the previous day's show and promises to return to the day's main topic, the gap between what the law permits and what Americans now tolerate, after a break.

A Mother's Cigarettes and the Marlboro Men
Dean recalls his own mother's two-pack-a-day smoking habit, admitting she died from it in 2011, and uses her story to introduce a string of Marlboro and Winston cigarette models who died from smoking-related illness, naming Wayne McLaren, David Miller Jr., Janet Sackman, David Goerlitz, and Will Thornbury. He quotes Galatians on reaping what is sown and says a Winston actor once admitted his job was to get half a million kids smoking by 1995. Dean argues the tobacco industry deliberately marketed appealing brand names like Marlboro and Camel while hiding the reality shown on European cigarette packaging, autopsy photographs of diseased lungs. He notes R. J. Reynolds, the Camel founder, died of pancreatic cancer in 1918 after a lifetime of chewing tobacco. The segment closes with Dean recounting his mother telling him never to smoke moments after coughing to catch her breath, calling it a hypocrisy he says mirrors the broader culture.

Reprobates in High Places
Dean widens his hypocrisy theme to public figures, citing author Barbara De Angelis's five marriages and divorces despite writing relationship-advice books, then recalling President Bill Clinton appointing Whoopi Goldberg, who Dean says had multiple abortions, to a federal commission on teen pregnancy. He retells the story of Arkansas residents posting a roadside sign beneath the state's welcome marker identifying Clinton, under Megan's Law, as a registered sex offender, calling it an example of citizens exposing leaders politicians elevate. Dean argues scripture explains the pattern, citing 1 Kings on corrupt rulers choosing the lowest sort of advisers to accelerate moral decline, and ties the thread back to his opening point that a society is judged by what it tolerates. He repeats the call-in number throughout, inviting listener response, before a prerecorded promotional spot invites listeners to Sunday service and to support the ministry financially.

Isaiah's Warning and Celebrity Christians
Reading Isaiah 5:20's warning against those who call evil good and good evil, Dean argues it describes America precisely, having confused darkness for light and bitter for sweet. He revisits Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera's MTV-era professions of Christianity alongside sexualized performances, calling them fruit that exposes false profession, and recounts Madonna telling Larry King her own children were barred from watching material she refused to tone down. He turns to Bill Gates, claiming his children never received the vaccines Gates promoted during the pandemic, and to R. Kelly, recalling a 2002 indictment on twenty-one counts of child pornography despite continued industry promotion. Dean cites Psalm 97 on hating what God hates, arguing the whole pattern traces to the 1960s, when he says the culture told God no, leaving people confused about His existence and living under judgment rather than blessing.

Hollywoodland, the Code, and the Passion
Dean shifts to film history, tracing Hollywood's origin to a Christian settlement called Hollywoodland, where director Cecil B. DeMille, later known for The Ten Commandments, settled in the early 1900s on land given away for churches. He explains the Motion Picture Production Code, adopted in 1930 and enforced from 1934 until abandoned in 1968, which barred content that lowered moral standards or sided sympathy with crime. Dean contrasts that era with a recent film called Breeder, about trafficked girls bred for ritual sacrifice, and recalls AMC theaters posting content warnings for The Passion of the Christ, rated R for violence, while giving no warning to sexually explicit films like Monster, Calendar Girls, and 21 Grams playing the same week. He cites box-office figures showing G-rated films outearn R-rated releases on average, arguing the industry's choices are about demoralizing audiences rather than profit, and quotes Samuel Adams on a virtuous people's liberty.

Code Provisions and a Call to Repent
In the closing segment, Dean itemizes specific restrictions once written into the Motion Picture Production Code: bans on nudity and suggestive dancing, prohibitions on depicting illegal drug use and glamorizing alcohol, rules against showing crime methods such as safecracking or arson, and bans on profanity, interracial marriage portrayals, and mockery of clergy or religion. He argues each restriction has been abandoned since 1968 and ties the breakdown to America's broader turn from God, reading Exodus 20 on taking the Lord's name in vain and warning that actors who curse God on screen will answer for it. He closes with Benjamin Franklin's proposed Great Seal motto, "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God," and its imagery of Moses parting the Red Sea, declines a last-minute caller because time has run out, and signs off promising to return to the topic.

Translating Heart Intelligence

Questioning Automation, Self-Reliance, and What Freedom Really Means

Kenna walks Justin through a long list of personal questions she has been asking herself about automation, fair compensation, and self-reliance, drawing on a failed family homestead attempt and years of letter-writing, while the two also trade thoughts on America.gov, mortgages, and where each of them draws the line on convenience.

A Shout-Out And A Question-Led Hour
Justin opens Translating Heart Intelligence by greeting Kenna on a nice Tuesday afternoon. Before the week's topic, Kenna asks on air to thank a friend, Lucia Nicola Evans, who she says models unconditional love and runs a Friday authenticity series she has found valuable, pointing listeners to lucianicolaevans.com. She is careful to say she does not speak for Lucia or for Justin, only for herself. She then frames the hour's real subject, a set of questions she has been asking herself for a long time about automation and artificial intelligence, now often reframed as superintelligence, and how it might reshape jobs and daily life. Rather than offer answers, she tells Justin she wants to think out loud through these questions, hoping listeners can use them as mirrors for their own lives. Justin agrees, noting that everyone, himself included, will land on different answers depending on what matters to them personally.

Robots, Rosie, And Who Gets Paid
Kenna's first big question asks whether automation could actually free people from survival labor rather than threaten it, wondering what she would do with reclaimed time and how far such help should go. She invokes Rosie, the robotic maid from The Jetsons, as shorthand for a house-cleaning robot, admitting she would not want even a Roomba in her home. That leads her to notice how much of daily life already runs on automation, from machine-milled jersey cotton to mass-produced screws and Oreos, and how little of her own town could actually feed itself from local farms alone. She says it makes her sick to see a crocheted item sold for a dollar in a craft store, since hand-crocheting takes hours and nobody making it could be fairly paid at that price, so she refuses to buy it. Justin jokes the math works out to about a quarter an hour, and the two agree fair compensation matters to her more than convenience.

Dividends, Boredom, And The Value Of Time
Kenna shifts to an automation or tariff dividend letter she wrote in December, asking what might change if people had enough financial stability to stop fearing falling behind. She worries aloud that guaranteed income could just make people lazy, and Justin answers that laziness would simply be their choice, since people like that already exist. Kenna connects this to retirement, where she has watched people get bored once survival work disappears, and wonders whether society has forgotten how to sit with boredom now that machines make fabric, pottery, and goods that once took real time to produce by hand. She frames the Industrial Revolution itself as a kind of legacy, making life easier while quietly eroding people's ability to make things for themselves, and asks what happens to a self-reliance skill once a generation no longer needs it, especially if supply chains or sanctions cut off imported goods entirely.

Drawing Personal Lines Around Technology
The conversation turns to where each of them draws boundaries with convenience. Kenna says she refuses a Wi-Fi-connected washing machine because she does not want a tool that can be remotely controlled, and Justin agrees about his thermostat, saying appliances should not stop working just because they lose a connection. He adds that he actually likes GPS, since he has no sense of direction, but insists a car should never have a remote shutoff switch or a face scanner deciding whether a licensed, law-abiding owner gets to drive it that day. The pair laugh about Justin's wish for a cupboard that quietly cleans dishes overnight, and his joke about wanting a dignified alternative to toilet paper, a nod to the three seashells gag. Kenna says the real point is reminding listeners they always hold the power to say no, enough, I am not participating anymore, whenever a convenience starts asking for more control than it gives back.

Mortgages, Insurance, And Streamlined Bureaucracy
Kenna uses her mortgage and homeowners insurance as an example of a relationship she never fully agreed to but tolerates, describing how her nervous system flares with frustration until she calms herself by admitting she does not know what to do, then asks instead what she actually wants. That process, she says, led her to write letters asking insurers to hold up their end of an unequal deal. Justin ties this back to automation, arguing that paperwork for something as basic as buying a house should be streamlined the same way everywhere instead of varying wildly by state. Kenna recalls her own agonizing married name change in Massachusetts, full of lost paperwork, inconsistent answers, and automated phone systems with no real person reachable, and says she now wonders whether a single federal system like America.gov, replacing the patchwork of city, county, state, and federal rules, would genuinely give people more freedom in daily life, which she offers as her measure of real progress.

Homesteading Lessons And A Cake Story
Kenna and Justin recall trying to fully homestead in Massachusetts, building a permaculture food forest, keeping chickens, and learning to preserve and ferment food while Justin still worked full time and a bear repeatedly wandered onto their unfenced property near their young child. Four years passed before their degraded soil could grow anything, and Kenna concludes two parents and one small child simply could not do it all alone without a supportive community, eventually trading preserving knowledge with a local farmer who grew corn and melons they could not. She says that exchange taught her self-reliance needs a village, not isolation. Kenna then shares a fictional story she asked BBS to post, about a stranger who dreamed of baking a cake with no money or tools and found both through a bike ride and a generous elderly neighbor, using it to argue that nobody else assembles the cake for you. Justin closes with a line about automating survival's burdens, not humanity itself, and the two sign off until November.
