The legal result of a verdict of not guilty

Eric Richins suspected something was wrong. His friends knew the marriage was in trouble. His sister hired a private investigator. He'd already met quietly with a divorce attorney. And he still ended up dead. This Hidden Killers Week In Review pulls back from the courtroom to examine what this case forces us to reckon with—and breaks down the document that may decide it.Defense attorney Bob Motta and former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke go at the bigger picture. What does a case like this tell us about how alleged domestic poisonings operate—and why they're almost invisible until they're already done? What separates a financial motive from just a circumstance, and how much weight should a jury actually give debt and insurance in a murder case? If Kouri Richins is acquitted, what does that verdict tell us about the evidentiary bar for this entire category of crime?Then Tony Brueski takes the Walk the Dog letter apart page by page. The six-page jailhouse document deserves more than headlines—it deserves explanation. What is each scheme designed to accomplish? How is the witness narrative for Ronney constructed? Why does the airport drug story function as a pre-built defense mechanism rather than a memory?The GMA coordination reads like stage directions. The Lotto section shows what's being suppressed. The Katie section reveals what's being requested—and how casually. And the Crest whitening strips request tells you more about state of mind than almost anything else in the letter.The question that cuts deepest: is the case the public has followed for three years the same case the jury is actually being asked to decide?Two experts. No easy answers.Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Reid Carter concludes the Robert Durst saga with the murder that should have ended everything - and the confession that finally did. September 2001: Durst killed his 71-year-old neighbor Morris Black, dismembered his body with surgical precision, and dumped the pieces in Galveston Bay. Acquitted after claiming self-defense. 2015: HBO's The Jinx caught Durst on a hot mic whispering "killed them all, of course." Arrested the night before the finale aired. September 2021: Finally convicted of murdering Susan Berman. Sentenced to life. January 2022: Dead at 78, taking Kathie's location to his grave.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

This episode of Transition Drill Podcast explores the long road from uncertainty to elite service for veterans and first responders navigating identity, leadership, and life after high-stakes careers.Retired Navy SEAL Chief David Swarts shares the realities of becoming a SEAL, the cost of leadership during wartime deployments, and what it takes to rebuild purpose after the job changes you.David Swarts grew up outside Cleveland, Ohio, in a working class household shaped by divorce, independence, and a lot of self-direction. College wasn't on his radar. Cars, restaurant work, and construction jobs were. But the environment around him began pulling people toward drugs and trouble, and he knew he needed a way out.That decision led him into the Navy in 1999, where he initially served as an aircraft mechanic attached to a carrier air wing. While working in naval aviation and deploying at sea, the desire to become a SEAL never left him. After completing his initial service commitment, he earned the opportunity to attend BUD/S and entered training during the height of the post-9/11 operational tempo.Swarts describes the intensity of that pipeline, including surviving Hell Week, setbacks in second phase, and the long road through advanced training. After graduating and completing the Special Forces (18 Delta) medic course, he reported to SEAL Team 10 during the most active years of the war in Iraq. He also served with Teams 2 and 5.From combat deployments in places like Fallujah and Afghanistan, to leadership roles within platoons, and an assignment to TRADET, Swarts experienced the relentless cycle of training, deployment, and responsibility that defines life in the teams. He reflects on mentorship, the culture of young SEAL platoons, and how leadership evolves from being one of the guys to becoming responsible for the team.The conversation also explores moments that reshaped his perspective. Becoming a father while deploying. Navigating the pressure of leadership as an LPO. And dealing with accusations of war crimes, twice, and investigations that followed combat operations overseas.Through it all, Swarts offers a candid look at growth inside the SEAL teams, the mistakes that shape him, as well as leaders, and the realities that come with dedicating your life to service.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Blue Line RoastingGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://bluelineroasting.comPromocode: Transition10Frontline OpticsGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://frontlineoptics.comPromocode: Transition10
It's Friday, March 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Iran's new Ayatollah vows to 'shed Trump's blood' An Iranian ayatollah called for the "shedding" of President Donald Trump's blood in a chilling revenge statement broadcast on Iranian state television on Thursday, reports The Express. Ayatollah Javadi Amoli - one of Iran's most senior Islamic clerics - declared that the nation was "on the verge of a great test" and urged "the shedding of Zionist blood, the shedding of Trump's blood" on state television. Exiled Iranian Prince commends Trump for bombing Iran By contrast, in an interview on CBS' 60 Minutes, Prince Reza Pahlavi, the eldest son of the deposed last Shah of Iran, a leader of the opposition to the Iranian Islamic Republic, commended President Donald Trump for bombing the Iranian military sites. PAHLAVI: “My message to President Trump is that I'm here to echo and join millions of my compatriots inside and outside of Iran to thank him for having the courage to do what is not easy, but intervene. He will go down in the annals of Iranian history as the most celebrated foreign leader that changed the ball game and changed the world as a result.” Pahlavi, who has lived in exile 47 years, is the most prominent figure in the opposition to the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. (Watch 60 Minutes Overtime for more of the interview) Former homosexual acquitted for describing Christian conversion In what is viewed as an important international victory for freedom of speech and religion, Matthew Grech, a singer and former X-Factor contestant who has been prosecuted in Maltese courts for three long years for having spoken out publicly about leaving homosexuality, was acquitted Thursday morning, reports LifeSiteNews.com. He was joyous outside the courthouse. GRECH: “I'm standing with my friends and colleagues here at the Maltese courts, and I want to tell you guys that we won. The court has decided in our favor and has pronounced me and the co-accused as innocent. “It is a big day. I'm very thankful that the Maltese courts decided for freedom of speech. The Maltese courts decided for freedom of religion and has announced that I had every right to share my Christian views around sexuality and gender, and to mention organizations that are helping Christians to live consistently with their belief system.” Matthew Grech cited 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. “The Bible says in the book of Corinthians some of you were homosexuals, adulterers, you name it, but you were washed, sanctified, justified in the name of Lord Jesus. This is the good news. This is the Gospel. It offers hope, change and transformation.” Trump fires DHS Secretary Kristi Noem TRUMP: “You're fired!” On Thursday, after a painful couple of days of testimony before Congress, Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, was fired by President Donald Trump, reports ABC News. In addition to the expected attacks from Democratic Senators on DHS, Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana asked Secretary Noem pointed questions about whether President Trump signed off on her decision to authorize $220 million on Homeland Security ads which prominently featured her. Listen. NOEM: “I have a policy in place that I review contracts. My deputy chiefs have the ability to review anything under $5 million. Above that, I evaluate and look at.” KENNEDY: “Okay, and you do that, I understand, to try to curb waste and abuse of taxpayer money. Is that right?” NOEM: “Yes, sir. In fact, it's been extremely effective.” KENNEDY: “How do you square that concern for waste, which I share, with the fact that you have spent $220 million running television advertisements that feature you prominently?” NOEM: “Sir, the president tasked me with getting the message out to the country, and to other countries where we were seeing the invasion come from, with putting commercials out that told them that if they were in this country illegally, that they needed to leave, or we would detain them and remove them, and they'd not get the chance to come back to America the right way. That has been extremely effective.” (crosstalk) KENNEDY: “The president asked you to run these advertisements. Is that right?” NOEM: “We had that conversation, yes, before I was put in this position and sworn in and confirmed, and since then as well.” KENNEDY: “Okay. You're testifying that President Trump approved this ahead of time. Is that my understanding?” NOEM: “We had conversations about making sure that we were telling people across …” KENNEDY: “No, ma'am, I'm asking you, sorry to interrupt, but the President approved ahead of time you spending $220 million running TV ads across the country in which you are featured prominently?” NOWEM: “Yes, sir, we went through the legal processes. worked with [Office of Management and Budget].” KENNEDY: “Did the president know you were going to do this? NOEM: “Yes.” KENNEDY: “He did?” NOEM: “Yes.” KENNEDY: “Okay.” In response, President Trump told Reuters, “I never knew anything about it.” RedState.com speculates that the exchange between GOP Senator Kennedy and Kristi Noem was her undoing. Shortly after his comments to Reuters, Trump posted to Truth Social that Noem would be replaced. The president said he was "pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, effective March 31, 2026." This marks the first Cabinet secretary Trump has fired in his second term. Anniversary of Christian martyrdom of 22-year-old Perpetua And finally, the church remembers the martyrdom of Perpetua, a 22-year-old Christian noblewoman in Carthage, North Africa on March 7th A.D. 203. She was executed alongside Felicity, a pregnant slave woman imprisoned with her, to cruelly celebrate the birthday of Caesar Geta, the son of emperor Septimius Severus. Simply because they were Christians, they were flogged, attacked by hungry leopards, and finally beheaded. Listen to this excerpt from a 30-minute animated video in The Torchlighter Series. PRISON CARETAKER: “As prison caretaker doing duty in the stench-filled underground cells, I've gotten a glimpse of many a prisoner's own faith or lack of it. MAN: "Please no. I don't want to die." PRISON CARETAKER: "I don't judge them. I too would fear the mauling beasts and death. But what I saw today in a young woman and her companions, such courage I have never seen before.” Joshua 1:9 says, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” You can get the animated Perpetua Story DVD through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.

After nearly three years in jail awaiting trial, Kouri Richins has maintained her innocence. According to her mother, she believes "a hundred percent" she'll be found not guilty. Her defense team previously withdrew citing an "irreconcilable situation."When someone has sustained their alternative narrative this long, through this much contrary evidence, what are we looking at psychologically? Is this strategic denial, or has the distortion become so complete that the objective facts simply don't penetrate?Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines cognitive distortion at its most entrenched — the construction and maintenance of an alternate reality in the face of overwhelming contradictory evidence.The pattern is consistent: Kouri wrote a grief book after Eric's death and promoted it on television. From jail, she filed lawsuits demanding millions from his estate. When she learned she'd been cut from the will two days after his death, testimony says she punched his sister. The "Walk the Dog" letter — which prosecutors called blatant witness tampering — suggests ongoing attempts to control how others perceive events.Internet searches recovered from her phone included "luxury prisons for the rich" and questions about how poisoning appears on death certificates. These suggest awareness of criminality and consequences.Yet the internal narrative appears unshaken.The defense has raised Eric's alleged feelings for a coworker as context for marital problems. But Shavaun Scott examines how people with distorted entitlement use a partner's imperfections — real or perceived — to justify actions orders of magnitude more harmful. The psychological math that makes "he wasn't perfect" equal "therefore I can do anything."This is what happens when distortion becomes identity — when the false story someone tells themselves becomes too central to who they are to ever let go.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the hip-hop mogul once known as Puffy and P. Diddy, remains behind bars at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey after his October 2025 sentencing to 50 months for two prostitution-related charges, with a projected release date of May 8, 2028, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons records reported by CBS News. Acquitted of the graver racketeering and sex trafficking accusations that could have meant life in prison, Combs faced a split verdict in July 2025 following his September 2024 arrest, as detailed in AOL coverage.Speculation about a presidential pardon from Donald Trump fizzled when a White House official confirmed no commutation is coming, dashing hopes fueled by Trump's past comments calling Combs "Puff Daddy" and noting their rocky history, per AOL and USA Today reports. Combs' team filed a notice of appeal in the Southern District of New York, signaling ongoing legal fights amid early prison discipline for unspecified infractions, CBS News documents reveal. His lawyer pushed for Fort Dix to address drug issues with enhanced programs and family visits.Away from bars, Combs battles NBCUniversal in a $100 million lawsuit over the Peacock documentary "Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy," denying under oath any role in deaths like Biggie Smalls', sex trafficking, or extortion via tapes, as stated in his filing covered by AllHipHop. A former stylist's abuse lawsuit adds to civil woes, though one sexual battery claim was dismissed.Prison life marks a stark shift for the Bad Boy founder, whose empire once spanned hits like "I'll Be Missing You" and ventures from Cîroc to REVOLT. Recent podcasts like "The Diddy Diaries" dissect his accusers' tales, keeping the saga alive.Thank you for tuning in, listeners. Come back next week for more.

On this episode of the podcast, ER physician and healthcare entrepreneur Dr. Ron Elfenbein joins the show to tell a story few Americans have heard from the inside.During the height of COVID-19, Dr. Elfenbein helped source PPE, designed intubation boxes, and worked to distribute monoclonal antibody treatments when hospitals were overwhelmed and options were limited. But after publicly criticizing the Biden Administration's decision to halt monoclonal antibodies and questioning vaccine mandates, Dr. Elfenbein found himself under federal indictment for healthcare fraud — charges stemming from billing disputes he says were selectively and politically pursued.After a grueling trial, a District Court acquitted him due to insufficient evidence to support the jury's verdict. But despite that acquittal, the weaponized Department of Justice has appealed the case, forcing Dr. Elfenbein back into court this August.If you would like to follow Dr. Elfenbein on X you can do so by searching for his handle: @RonElfenbeinMD.

The Athletic's investigative reporter Katie Strang joins Neil Smith and Vic Morren for an unflinching discussion of hockey's unseemly side. Six weeks before training camps open, the July 24, 2024 London Ontario trial concluded with five former NHL players found not guilty of sexual assault. Katie explains the circus-like proceedings, two discharged juries, inadmissible evidence, and split public opinion. From her personal connection to the Larry Nassar case to scrutinizing junior hockey's billeting system, Gary Bettman's eligibility decisions without codified policies, NHLPA labor battles, and the media's responsibility covering systemic abuse.

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the hip-hop mogul also known as Puff Daddy or P. Diddy, was sentenced to over four years in prison three months after his July 2025 conviction on two prostitution-related charges, specifically transportation to engage in prostitution, as reported by CBS News. Acquitted of the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering counts that could have meant life behind bars, Combs is currently incarcerated at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, with a projected release in June 2028, according to CinemaBlend and Hindustan Times.The high-profile trial, which began in May 2025, captivated listeners with weeks of graphic testimony, culminating in a partial verdict after intense jury deliberations. CBS News detailed how Combs pleaded not guilty to federal charges in 2024, following raids on his Los Angeles and Miami homes and a wave of lawsuits alleging rape, abuse, and molestation, including one from ex-partner Cassie Ventura describing him as a "vicious, cruel, and controlling man."Recent headlines swirl around his legal appeals and clemency bids. Combs' team sent a pardon request to President Trump, allegedly delivered via Mike Tyson during a White House visit in November 2025, per The U.S. Sun via CinemaBlend. Trump, once "very friendly" with the New Yorker, dismissed it in a New York Times interview, stating he wouldn't pardon him due to past "terrible statements," while rival 50 Cent vowed to block any leniency. Viral rumors of Combs missing from prison were debunked as false.Financially strained, Combs is selling assets like his luxury private jet and once-opulent Atlanta mansion, now abandoned with dusty fireplaces and swimming pool chandeliers, according to Men's Journal and AOL. A Netflix documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, produced by 50 Cent's G-Unit, topped charts in over 50 countries.These developments mark a dramatic fall for the Bad Boy Records founder whose empire spanned music, Sean John fashion, and Cîroc vodka.Thank you for tuning in, listeners.

After Diddy’s acquittal, social media decided it needed a villain. And who better than a random woman?! Through a case of mistaken identity, digital marketing strategist and former journalist Wynter Mitchell-Rohrbaugh, who had nothing to do with the trial, became the target of viral accusations and lies. In this episode, Wynter tells her story of how misinformation, speculation, and Internet outrage collided in real time to pull her into a social media storm, and she breaks down what it means for our broader digital media landscape.

On today's program, the judicial commission of the Anglican Church in North America has handed down its long-awaited verdict in the months-long trial of Bishop Stewart Ruch. And that verdict is, “Not Guilty.” We'll have details. And, International Servants has been making big claims about its decades of ministry work in Belize—but verifying those claims has proven more difficult. We'll take a look. Plus, Elevation Church—the North Carolina-based megachurch led by Steven Furtick—has announced the launch of Elevation College. But first, St. Andrew's Chapel in Sanford, Florida, has officially voted to leave the Presbyterian Church in America. The church, originally led by Dr. R.C. Sproul, joined the PCA in 2023. It first considered a vote to leave this summer, but delayed the vote while referring the matter to the church's board of elders, also known as its session, to study the situation and return with a recommendation. Its lead pastor, Burk Parsons, was suspended from his role as a teaching elder in the PCA in June after being found guilty by a church judicial commission of three charges related to, among other things, a “domineering” and “intimidating” leadership style, which included accusations of bullying and slander. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Kim Roberts, Kathryn Post, Jessica Eturralde, and Aaron Earls.

This past weekend, Pastor Jim picked up where he last left off in his “Grace Unveiled” series. His message was based on Romans 8:31–32: “What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?] He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?” (Amp.) The focus was on the fact that God did not withhold or spare His own Son, Jesus, but gave Him up for us. And then this is the key: “…will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?” The point of the message is that the promises of God are free! Some believers say, “I'm a tither, I pray in tongues every day, I go to every service, I do this, I do that…” They're trying to earn the promises of God. They can't be earned. The Father wants you to understand that the promises in the Bible are simply free, but you have to believe they are yours. And you must use your faith to get them! You can't earn them.Our Links–• Join The Prayer Movement!: https://theprayermovement.com• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingwordmn• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/livingwordmn• Stay up to date with all things LWCC at https://www.LWCC.org• Join our Online Church community here: https://www.lwcc.org/onlinechurch• Give online: https://www.lwcc.org/give/• If you recently committed your life to God, we'd like to give you a free eBook to help you in your spiritual journey.

It's Wednesday, November 26th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. Written by Jonathan Clark. Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Contact@eanvoiceit.com) Christian Institute Proposed Street Preacher Charter. Officials in the U.K. are increasingly targeting Christians who express their faith in public. In response, the Christian Institute launched its new “Street Preacher's Charter” in Parliament last week. The document defends the rights of street preachers in England and Wales. The wrongful arrest of a Scottish preacher in 2022 inspired the charter. Mike Judge, a trustee of The Christian Institute, said, “This Charter is a timely shield for those who dare to speak — and a timely corrective for a society tempted to silence them.” U.K. Street Preacher Acquitted A jury in the U.K. acquitted a street preacher recently. The case began after a Muslim family reported street preacher Shaun O'Sullivan to authorities. Officials charged him with religiously aggravated intentional harassment. However, O'Sullivan testified in court that he simply preaches the Gospel in public after being saved from a life of crime and violence. Andrea Williams with the Christian Legal Centre said, “This was another example of police overreach . . . The acquittal is . . . a reminder of the fragile state of fundamental freedoms in our country right now.” When commanded not to preach, the apostles said in Acts 4:19-20, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak about the things which we have seen and heard.” Christian Universities to Launch Outreach to Europe One of the largest Christian universities in the United States is launching outreach to Europe to counter the rise of secularism there. Liberty University of Lynchburg, Virginia is now offering over 600 online degrees to students in Europe. Lucian Mustata is Liberty's European representative for the project. He told Christian Daily International, “we need to invest in the next generation. In the long term, secularism grows in Europe because we're not investing in teenagers and the next generation with Christian values. It's very important to have Christian education in Europe.” Trump Designates the Muslim Brotherhood as Terrorist Organization On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to designate certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations. The organization was founded in 1928 with chapters across the Middle East. Last week, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott similarly designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. He said the goal of the group is to “forcibly impose Sharia law . . . These radical extremists are not welcome in our state and are now prohibited from acquiring any real property interest in Texas.” This coming on the heels of a report released called The Muslim Brotherhood Strategic Entryism into the United States. Chris Mitchell from CBN News has more concerning this report. MITCHELL: “And what it does, and why this is so significant – it exposes a generational strategy to impose Shariah Law on the United States. They call it “a civilizational struggle,” and it's based on four pillars. One is influencing public policy. Two, influencing legal strategies, and what that tries to do is minimize criticism of Islam and turn that into charges of Islamphobia and charges of discrimination. Number three is infiltration of institutions – charities, universities, schools, and even to influence Middle East studies in those universities. And, four is to control the narrative through the medium, to shake the public debate. A key issue in this is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We've heard charges of Palestine, from the river to the sea, globalize the Intifadah. That puts it in context, is what they're trying to do is just influence media, the society, and then just introduce, in a gradual way, Shariah Law.” Planned Parenthood Forced to Shut Down Centers Due to Financial Strain Planned Parenthood announced yesterday it is closing one of its locations in Ohio. The abortion giant has now closed 45 centers so far this year. Many closures are due to the Trump administration's support for defunding abortion providers. A recent report from Planned Parenthood admits, “Already buckling under immense financial strain due to our country's frayed and underfunded public health system, Planned Parenthood health centers across the country are being pushed to the brink.” New Survey Concerning the Understanding of Salvation is Released by Barna Dr. George Barna released his latest research on the worldview of Americans. The survey found most U.S. adults say eternal salvation demands a blend of works and grace. For example, one-third of Americans who call themselves “born-again” believe good people can earn salvation. And nearly half of Americans believe they will earn their way into Heaven by being generally good or doing enough good deeds. Dr. Barna noted, “There remains a shocking degree of misunderstanding among Christians regarding sin, repentance, forgiveness, and salvation.” Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Bible Sales Surge This Year And finally, mainstream media outlets are noting this year's surge in Bible sales. The Associated Press reports Americans have purchased over 18 million Bibles this year. Brenna Connor with Circana BookScan told Religion News Service, “Sales for Bibles have been steadily growing in the U.S. since 2021 and have set unprecedented annual sales records since 2022. 2024 marked a 20-year high for Bible sales in the U.S., and 2025 is on track to surpass these levels, underscoring the growing interest in religious content among U.S. consumers.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, November 26th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Luke 13:22-30 - Jesus passed through towns and villages, teaching as He went and making His way to Jerusalem. Someone asked Him, “Lord, will only a few people be saved?” He answered them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough. After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door, then will you stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.' He will say to you in reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.' And you will say, ‘We ate and drank in Your company and You taught in our streets.' Then He will say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from. Depart from Me, all you evildoers!' And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God and you yourselves cast out. And people will come from the east and the west and from the north and the south and will recline at table in the Kingdom of God. For behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day
In 2018, a victim by the alias, ‘EM' meets a Junior hockey player at a bar who invites her to spend the night with him. She consents to having intimate relations with this singular player. By the next morning, EM survives a gang assault at the hands of 10 to 16 other players that the original player had invited back to the hotel room without EM knowing. She would go onto testify about these events seven years later in 2025. Only five of the men get charged and go to trial.All five of the men are found not guilty. The case divides basically all of North America and women begin coming forward with their own stories including one that seemingly involves the original player who invited his teammates to the hotel room. Could it all be connected? One thing is for sure: all of these cases of alleged gang assault involve players from the Junior hockey league, aka the ones with the ‘Bible' on how to assault women. This is part two of Canada's continuous gang assault scandals. Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Michel identifies a "deficit hawk coalition" split between deficit hawks (agnostic on revenues/spending) and budget hawks (concerned with government size), advocating for spending cuts to solve the crisis. Entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are the root of fiscal problems. 1045-1100 The US Fiscal Crisis: Spending Cuts Are the Only Way Out GUEST NAME: Adam Michel Adam Michel, director of tax policy at the Cato Institute, discusses the US fiscal crisis stemming from large deficits and overwhelming debt.
