How much visceral fat do you want to have? Dr. Sean O'Mara answers that with a question of his own: how much cancer do you want to have? I am Zach Armstrong, retired naval commander and F/A team fighter pilot turned performance coach, and I brought on Dr. Sean O'Mara, a retired US Army colonel, former emergency medicine physician, and winner of the 2004 US Army Surgeon General's Physician Distinction Award who cared for President Clinton, Vice President Cheney, Colin Powell, and Condoleezza Rice. At 48 he was overweight, on multiple prescriptions, and carrying precancerous lesions in his esophagus while every single lab marker came back normal. I wanted this conversation because I am tired of watching driven men do everything they were told and still feel the floor shifting underneath them. We dismantle the idea that a clean blood panel means you are healthy and expose the invisible disease sitting inside your organs and muscle right now.

South County San Diego is home to over 585,000 residents, yet it remains a "college desert" without a single local public four-year university.

This episode highlights how seemingly casual interactions with law enforcement can carry serious legal risks. Through a conversation between attorney Rory Pendergast and defense lawyer Anna Yum, it explains your key constitutional protections—especially under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments—and how they apply in real-life situations like traffic stops or searches. The core message: don’t let a “friendly” conversation lower your guard. You have the right to remain silent and request a lawyer, and exercising those rights can protect you from unintentionally harming your case. It also breaks down common misconceptions, like when Miranda warnings apply, and clarifies important legal concepts such as probable cause versus proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

We sit down with Jeremy, Senior VP of Open Primaries, to dig into a new IVP/Open Primaries poll of registered NYC Democrats - and what it reveals is wild. Jeremy lays out "the big lie" about open vs. closed primaries, why ~40% of NYC Democrats (and two out of three Latino Democrats) don't identify with the party they're registered in, and how a 10% turnout primary ends up deciding who actually runs the city. Then Jeremy lays out why almost everyone - the media, secretaries of state, even civil rights groups - has the importance of primaries exactly backwards.
