H.W. Brands describes how, in early 1941, Lindbergh took his arguments to Congress, testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate. He presented himself as a political "babe in the woods," taking pride in his "innocence" compared to the "culture of politics" embodied by Roosevelt. While interventionists argued that air power had made the world smaller and America more vulnerable, Lindbergh used his technical expertise to argue the opposite: air power made the United States more defensible. He reasoned that any invader would require an armada of ships that could now be attacked by aircraft 300 miles off the American shore, long before they reached land. Lindbergh rejected the label of "isolationist," proposing instead a robust "hemispheric defense." He argued that America's frontier was not on the Rhine River but 200 miles off its own coasts, encompassing the entire Western Hemisphere including Canada and Latin America. His message resonated with the public; massive rallies at the Manhattan Center and Madison Square Garden saw crowds so large that many were left waiting outside. Lindbergh's diary noted his own popularity with some vanity, viewing the cheering crowds as a sign that the people agreed with his "America first" message. However, the debate in the summer of 1941 was increasingly characterized by mockery from London, where leaders were desperate for America to stop simply selling weapons and start fighting. (6)1936
Most Americans — across every party, gender, and demographic — agree that only US citizens should vote in US elections, yet here we are having to fight for something that sounds like the most obvious principle in the world. I sat down with Jack Tomczak from Americans for Citizen Voting to break down exactly how we got here: a constitutional loophole that could allow non-citizens to vote in congressional elections if a state legalizes non-citizen voting at the state legislative level. Jack's organization has already amended the constitutions of 15 states to close this door, and now they're pushing House Joint Resolution 152 through Congress to lock it in federally. With 90% of Americans on board — a number that makes even voter ID look controversial by comparison — this should be a layup, yet the politics are anything but simple. We dig into the LA mayor's race, the erosion of trust in our elections, and why the only honest reason to oppose this amendment is if you actually want non-citizens voting. Jack's optimistic it can get through Congress this summer, and honestly, after hearing his case, it's hard not to share that optimism.

6-10-26 Hinkle Law Offices Top Five - LeBron James comments on Time Magazine spark the 'GOAT' arguments once again
World Cup Special! - "Arguments" by LAisOurHouse
Chuck Todd opens with the grim news that the Iran conflict is hot again as both sides resume exchanging strikes — and his blunt assessment is that nothing has actually changed since Trump was begging for a deal a month ago. He argues Trump has mismanaged this war from the very beginning with no clear goal, that he and Israel started it with vastly different objectives, and that he stubbornly refuses to accept a deal that looks like the one Obama got even though that's the only realistic off-ramp available. The brutal truth, Chuck says, is that Trump can't airstrike his way to victory, and if he was never willing to commit ground troops, he never should have started the war in the first place — the Iranians now hold more leverage than the United States, and it's entirely Trump's fault that they do. He delivers one of his sharpest character indictments yet, arguing Trump "failed upwards" to the most powerful job on earth and is now half-assing his way through the presidency the same way he half-assed his way through life, while Vance and Rubio scramble to avoid any ownership of the war.With inflation rising for a third straight month, Chuck sees no path for any of this to improve before the midterms. But the heart of the episode is a deep, genuinely illuminating dive into a new Pew survey that Chuck calls possibly the best available tool for understanding the actual American electorate — one that shatters the illusion created by social media. The data reveals nine distinct political archetypes (three on the left, three in the middle, three on the right), that the ideological extremes make up only about 15% of the country and are the whitest segments, and that the loud, combative bases dominating online discourse aren't remotely close to a majority. The middle, he notes, is a full 38% of the electorate, with the center-left as the single largest group; the Reagan Republican coalition is measurably gone, reduced to just 11%; the civil war inside the American left is already underway with skeptical progressives who'll never vote Republican but may simply not vote at all; and the MAGA-religious right remains a fortress of reliable voters, with erosion showing up in exactly one place — younger voters. His takeaway is the one that should reshape how both parties think: the persuadable middle is repulsed most by the far left and far right, the party bases are precisely what cause the parties to struggle electorally, and the opportunity for independents has genuinely never been better — because what happens online simply is not reflective of who actually shows up to vote. Then, cultural critic Chuck Klosterman — author of But What If We're Wrong?, The Nineties, and now a new book simply titled Football — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a fascinating, genre-bending conversation that's part memoir, part sports analysis, and part thought experiment about how a singular American obsession will be remembered centuries from now. Klosterman frames the book as a "living obituary" for football, working from his signature premise that over enough time, almost everything fades until a single simplified narrative is all that survives — and that football, despite being the one true common denominator of the modern American experience (it overtook baseball as the most popular sport by the 1970s, even though people at the time didn't realize it), will almost certainly not remain central to the culture a few decades from now. He and Chuck explore how perception dramatically changes over time , how the internet has fundamentally altered our relationship with time itself, and why arguments against the internet today sound exactly like the arguments people once made against television. Klosterman, who only half-jokingly says his "beat" these days is simply reality, argues that we now consume social media on the working assumption that what we're seeing isn't real — a profound shift in how humans relate to information. The conversation winds through some genuinely original territory about why football works the way it does and what its eventual decline might look like. Klosterman argues football is a fundamentally cerebral sport with intense but widely dispersed moments of action (the Wall Street Journal famously found only 11 minutes of actual action in a three-hour broadcast), that its sheer complexity and total absence of free-flowing movement is exactly why it's never exported well, and that it nearly became a literal embodiment of American exceptionalism. He and Todd dig into whether the NFL can over-expand into a 12-month product, why football is the one American sport that could plausibly survive on pay-per-view, and how the league walks a razor's edge between the maximum physicality fans crave and the safety changes that are slowly, quietly trying to remove hitting from the game — even as the ever-present risk of injury is precisely what raises the stakes and makes it so engaging. There's a wonderful tangent on COVID and 9/11 as the two great timeline-dividing events of the modern era (one slow and shared globally, one sudden and strange), including Chuck's own reflection that the pandemic was unexpectedly a bonding experience with his kids. Klosterman closes by previewing his next book — an alternate history of rock and roll — and delivering a characteristically provocative argument that rock effectively ended as a meaningful art form in the 1990s, that having access to all the music ever recorded has paradoxically led people to listen to the same 600 songs, and that he genuinely regrets ever getting rid of his CD collection, because the day may come when streaming services are broken up and no longer contain all the music in the world.

College sports has become a runaway freight train in recent years. Money and greed (as always) have emerged as the primary villains. Everyone involved wants more. Several years ago, the NCAA began to allow student-athletes to transfer schools as often as the average student. Prior to that, athletes were required to sit-out one full year after transferring schools. It was supposed to encourage college athletes to think hard prior to making the decision to transfer. Colleges also claimed that this was done to give the student-athletes enough time to acclimate themselves to the academic rigors of their new college environment. R-i-g-h-t! Today’s new NCAA Transfer Portal is becoming busier by the year Upwards of 50% of some sport’s athletes are putting their names in the Transfer Portal. They are in search of more money and playing time elsewhere. These athletes want the right to transfer as easily as all other college students. The processing of transferring by athletes seems to take place at blazing speed, though. An average college student has to prepare an application, supply academic performance (grades) along with a mountain of paperwork prior to being admitted as a transfer student at most major universities. The process usually takes several months. Wouldn’t it be nice to know how (and why) these “ASAP” Transfer Portal college athletes get their paperwork processed by their new universities within just a matter of days or weeks? Then there’s the new wheel of fortune game called Name, Image, and Likeness The federal courts have allowed college athletes to be compensated based on their theoretical NIL value. The original concept of NIL sounded downright noble. Our theoretical college football player simply wanted to have a little spending money to be able go out and enjoy an occasional burger and shake down at Arnold’s. Within years, the compensation being offered to athletes for their (cough) NIL rights has exploded. Some players are receiving offers of hundreds of thousands of dollars from top college football, basketball, baseball, and even softball programs. The athletic conferences say they don’t like this, either. However, they spend much of their time renegotiating television and media contracts to generate even more cash to pad their own pockets. That’s why the College Football Playoffs have risen from two teams to four to 12 today. The conferences are battling with each other today trying to expand the football playoffs from 12 to 24 teams. Why? More television money, of course. The athletic conferences, schools, administrators, coaches, players, and, of course, the media companies are focused on more and more money for college athletics. The former systems are broken. No one is showing much in the way of self restraint or leadership in attempting to resolve growing problems. Who is going to help control this mess? Did someone say “Congress?” Of course! Let’s ask America’s legislative body to intervene since the college sports community cannot seem to regulate its fast-growing greed. We know that the 435 House and 100 Senate members rarely agree on anything. Well, they do seem to find enough votes (usually after midnight) in late December to raise their own pay. They won’t object when a motion for a multi-week recess is raised, either. Heaven forbid if any member of the House or Senate dares to propose a vote concerning (gasp!) term limits. So, why should anyone believe that the US Congress will be able to regulate college sports? Over the past year, the US House of Representatives has tried and recently failed. A bill entitled the “Student Compensation through Rights and Endorsements” Act was floated. The “SCORE” Act slithered its way through the halls of Congress at snail-like speed. The House of Representatives couldn’t even muster enough support to force a full floor vote on the measure a few weeks ago. That bill is now officially dead. But never fear! The US Senate wants to “Protect” college sports! Move over, House of Representatives! A bipartisan bill drafted by Senators Ted Cruz of Texas (R) and Maria Cantwell of Washington (D) finally emerged this past week. It is now being contemplated by the extremely deliberative (slow moving) body called the US Senate. This bill is called the “Protect College Sports Act of 2026.” You can read it by clicking here. The 111-page document was introduced in the Senate on Wednesday, June 3. Former University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban and several other heavyweights of college sports testified before the Senate in support of the measure. The President is also in favor of the proposal. Advocates believe there is a chance that it could pass by August 1, 2026. That is less than 60 days after it was introduced to the Senate. Personally, I think there is a higher probability of seeing Charlie Brown finally kick that football that Lucy is holding this fall! Let’s review several of the primary portions of the Protect College Sports Act of 2026: Name, Image, and Likeness – The agreement would serve to put NIL under federal jurisdiction. That is needed, because many states have already implemented a variety of different enforcement provisions and loopholes. The proposed federal legislation would require NIL agents for athletes to be registered with the government and cap their fees at 5%. Athletes must disclose their NIL compensation above $600 per year. Medical coverage for athletes – Colleges would be required to pay for out-of-pocket medical costs for athletes for five years following the athlete’s final competition for the school. Transfers – Each athlete would receive one transfer without losing athletic eligibility. Subsequent transfers may be considered in the event of coaching changes, discontinued sports at a school, and for graduate students. Academics – The legislation requires athletes to complete their eligibility within five years beginning with the earlier of (a) high school graduation or (b) turning age 19. Exemptions would exist for military service, religious missions, etc. Coaching changes – The Senate proposal would prohibit college head coaches from leaving their school prior to the end of the season to coach, recruit for, or otherwise take over at a different FBS (large division) program. Yes, this is now being called the Lane Kiffin provision. Local television for football and basketball teams – There must be at least one free local television broadcast outlet televising football and basketball games for major universities within their local market. Anti-trust protection television rights for schools and conferences – This would afford college athletics to function in the same way in which the NFL, NBA, and other national professional sports leagues operate. However, at least 75% of the current FBS schools must sign-off on this provision for it to become effective. Bars major athletic conferences ($1 billion or more in annual revenues) from merging or acquiring each other – The Senate legislation wants to preserve and promote regional rivalries and stop major universities from changing athletic conference affiliations. College football season must end by January 8 – This provision is intended to allow for a smoother transition for students (and transfers) prior to the start of the spring semester. What I like: Restricting athletic transfers to only one time is a winner. This will keep players and the coaches from shopping around so much. Instead, there should be increased focus on player development (and, perhaps, academics). The proposed provision for medical coverage for athletes continuing for five years following their college participation seems like a solid idea. The schools earn revenue from athletic competitions. They should be required to provide catastrophic insurance coverage for athletes who are injured while playing for the school. A hard cap on five years of college eligibility is also very smart. There is a significant physical and mental difference between an 18-year old football player coming out of high school and a 24-year old who may have been granted a sixth year of eligibility. The football season ending by January 8 is a definite winner! Cut the regular season to 11 games if you need more time for the playoffs. (Yes, I realize that won’t happen) Local “free” television coverage for local teams sounds good. This is what the NFL does during Monday Night Football games on ESPN. The local market’s ABC affiliate generally provides coverage for viewers who are not ESPN subscribers. When considering this provision for college football, would all Louisiana cities not named Baton Rouge also be considered “local” for LSU football games? Taxpayers in other Louisiana cities would also like to watch LSU (the state’s flagship public university) football games on their local TV station. Expect a battle over this issue. I’m not so sure about… Many people are asking why we haven’t dropped the entire NIL charade and consider the players to be paid employees of the university. The primary authors of the Senate legislation intentionally omitted this issue. That’s because the recent House legislation dared to address this thorny issue. Arguments on the subject caused the entire bill to go down in flames. Perhaps the Supreme Court will eventually decide the matter. Another roadblock will be in getting 75% of the current 136 member FBS (major college) group of football schools to agree on the anti-trust protection issues. The Big Ten Conference and SEC (much like the House and Senate) can’t seem to agree on just about anything in recent years. With regard to college coaches leaving for other schools, shouldn’t there also be a provision that coaches cannot be fired prior to the end of the team’s season, too? I think the minimum NIL amount for reporting purposes should be raised from $600 per year to $1,200. That would be only $100/month for an athlete. Spend more time reviewing the larger NIL transactions. Finally, I believe that most rational adults would prefer not having the federal government getting involved in issues such as this. Can you imagine the resulting circus of governmental regulatory requirements and exorbitant administrative costs to implement this bill if signed into law? The Senate deliberation of the proposed Save College Sports Act of 2026 might serve as a much needed wake-up call right now. The major athletic conferences should voluntarily come together ASAP to address and implement several of this bill’s best provisions. They could end the push for unwanted federal oversight and regulation by simply taking this matter into their own hands. Hey, Big Ten and SEC! It’s time to lead and end your petty turf wars before the Senate addresses these problems for you. Time to get to work!

This is a book that at its heart focuses on the relationship between political systems, gender equality and female liberty in a number of different ways and situations. The book is written by Professor Kristen R. Ghodsee who specialises in Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.It is in many ways eye-opening and in others it simply lays out the truth for all to see, injustice is rife and gender inequality is one of the main reasons for the continuation of that injustice. Let us recognise these truths and push for a direction change. Gender equality is the key to solving many of humanity's problems. The question remains, do we really want to solve them or is politics simply a show that pretends it wants to get things done?Thank you Greg for your time and analysis.This is TwoandaMic.Rise up and be curious!PS.

Elisa Rojas est avocate au barreau de Paris et maître de conférences associée à l'INSEI (Institut national supérieur de formation et de recherche pour l'éducation inclusive). Militante féministe et pour les droits des personnes handicapées, elle a cofondé le Collectif Luttes et Handicaps pour l'Égalité et l'Émancipation (CLHEE). Elle a publié mi-avril "Pour mourir, tapez 1Comment la loi sur la fin de vie inscrit la mort dans une logique capitaliste" (éditions du Détour). C'est un texte concis, clair, argumenté, documenté sur le sujet. En Espagne, au Canada, les lois sur le suicide assisté ont déjà provoqué des dommages irréparables. En Ecosse, le texte a été rejeté. En France, il est encore temps d'agir. Aujourd'hui mardi 2 juin à 14 h 15, une commission mixte paritaire (CMP) réunissant sept députés et sept sénateurs tentera de trouver un compromis sur la proposition de loi créant un « droit à l'aide à mourir ». Sans accord, une nouvelle lecture du texte devrait avoir lieu le 22 juin.Je vous invite toutes et tous à écouter et relayer cet épisode, à livre le livre d'Elisa Rojas, que vous soyez aidante, aidant, ou pas, proche de personnes handicapées, concernées de près ou de loin par ce texte de loi. Parce que la santé publique, c'est notre bien commun à toutes et tous.Sur une note un peu plus légère, mais tout aussi militante, en fin d'épisode, nous évoquons aussi le premier livre d'Elisa Rojas "Mr T et moi", un roman captivant, drôle, où chaque femme (et personne minorisée) pourra se reconnaître, car il est question d'amour, un amour non réciproque ou plutôt non assumé par l'homme (résumé ci-dessous). Grand merci à Elisa pour sa disponibilité et ses brillantes explications. Bonne écoute !

L'opinion publique et les médias semblent majoritairement favorables. Mais a-t-on vraiment écouté les premiers concernés ?En quelques pages percutantes et rigoureuses, l'avocate Élisa Rojas déploie des arguments forts contre la loi légalisant le suicide assisté et l'euthanasie. Alors que le système de soin français est chaque jour plus fragilisé, ces lois aggravent les inégalités et dégradent le rapport déjà difficile que notre société entretient avec la vulnérabilité, la vieillesse, la maladie, le handicap et la dépendance. Or, rendre la mort préférable au soin et à la solidarité – effectivement plus coûteux –, c'est présupposer que certaines vies ne valent pas d'être vécues. "Mister T & moi" (La Belle Etoile / Hachette) https://www.hachette-fictions.fr/livre/mister-t-moi-9782501138574/« J'aime T., je vous l'ai dit, mais je ne vous ai pas dit à quel point. Place à la niaiserie ! Je l'aime de tout mon cœur, de toute mon âme. Je ferais n'importe quoi pour lui. Si ça pouvait servir à quelque chose, je lui donnerais ma vie. Je m'ouvrirais les veines pour lui, mais je ne peux pas. Ma mère m'a dit que si j'avais envie de me suicider « merci de ne pas salir la moquette et en foutre partout ».Quand Elisa rencontre Mister T., c'est le coup de foudre. Il est parfait : beau, intelligent... Elisa est parfaite : belle, intelligente, forte et… en fauteuil roulant. Tous deux étudiants en droit, ils deviennent vite très proches. Mais tandis qu'Elisa se meurt d'amour, Mister T., lui, voit en Elisa une merveilleuse amie, certainement pas une amante. Pourtant, elle en est sûre, ils sont faits l'un pour l'autre.Alors qu'Elisa cherche un moyen de déclarer sa flamme à T. sans risquer de perdre son amitié, elle prend peu à peu conscience de ce qui, en réalité, les sépare : et si les préjugés sur le handicap y étaient pour beaucoup ?Construit comme une telenovela qui commencerait par la fin, Mister T. et Moi est l'histoire d'un «râteau» raconté avec humour et impertinence. Une romance « 100 % True Story » qui s'adresse à tous les amateurs de récits sentimentaux drôles et… politisés. AVERTISSEMENT IMPORTANT : Ne jamais s'inscrire sur une application ou site de rencontres payant sans 1) lire les avis sur Google (Play store) ou Apple (App store) 2) lire les conditions tarifaires de l'abonnement. Ainsi je vous déconseille fortement le site PARSHIP, qui pratique l'extorsion : on ne peut pas résilier avant 1 an obligatoire, même si on n'utilise plus le service, qui n'est pas satisfaisant, car très peu de personnes dans votre région. Le service clients n'a que mépris pour les clients et le service communication ne veut rien entendre (un comble), aucun arrangement possible. Donc évitez une dépense inutile.

Today's episode starts with one of the biggest cliffhangers in recent Rizzuto Show history: Riz finally gets the results from his sleep study. Will he officially become a CPAP guy? Is he about to start "microdosing life support" every night? Or will doctors somehow discover an entirely new category of terrible sleep? The crew weighs in with equal parts concern, medical expertise they definitely don't have, and relentless roasting.Things somehow spiral into a discussion about waking up twenty times a night, cortisol overload, testosterone levels, hormone therapy, NAD shots, and the possibility that everyone on the show is slowly becoming a science experiment. Basically, if you've ever hit your 40s and wondered what happened, this conversation is for you.Then it's on to movie theater controversy as Alamo Drafthouse sparks outrage by replacing their old-school paper ordering system with QR code phone ordering. The crew debates whether phones belong anywhere near a movie screen, whether glowing screens ruin the experience, and if Elijah Wood might be the most passionate movie theater defender on Earth.Meanwhile, Riz and his wife are considering a rare date night at the movies, leading to a surprisingly intense discussion about movie choices, theater etiquette, and whether anyone should ever be playing a game on their phone during a film.In Crap On Celebrities, the gang dives into music festival drama as performers start dropping out of the America 250 celebration while Vanilla Ice somehow remains standing. There's also talk about Riot Fest's loaded lineup, Tom Morello's latest festival announcement, Violet Grohl's debut album, Willie Nelson making chart history, and upcoming movies that might actually be worth leaving the house for.The entertainment world doesn't escape unscathed either. The crew discusses Brad Pitt family drama, Nicolas Cage changing his name to avoid riding the Coppola family coattails, Toy Story 5 preparing to emotionally destroy an entire generation again, and the strange reality that kids today would rather stare at a tablet than play with actual toys.Then comes one of the day's biggest debates: the Mount Rushmore of arena rock. Queen, Journey, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, KISS, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, U2, and more all enter the argument as the crew tries to determine which bands truly deserve arena rock immortality.Add in celebrity birthdays, bizarre movie facts, festival announcements, old concert memories, and enough sarcasm to power a small city, and you've got another completely normal day with The Rizzuto Show.If you're looking for a daily comedy show packed with ridiculous conversations, pop culture commentary, music news, and the kind of friendship that only comes from years of roasting each other on the radio, this episode delivers.The Rizzuto Show remains the daily comedy show where sleep studies become comedy material, movie theater policies become national debates, and arena rock rankings become blood feuds.Thanks for making us part of your daily comedy show routine.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jubilee Media founder and CEO Jason Y Lee joins Next in Media to break down how the digital-first studio builds scalable, format-driven IP that captures Gen Z's massive attention span without relying on a single face. Discover the monetization strategies behind their unscripted content, why creators are turning down Hollywood, and how authentic human conversation is outperforming AI in the modern creator economy. Key Takeaways: The Creator Economy Flip: Top digital creators no longer view Hollywood as the ultimate graduation point, reversing the media power dynamic as traditional studios now seek out digital-first strategies to survive. The Attention Span Myth: Massive engagement metrics on 90-minute videos prove that younger audiences aren't suffering from short attention spans; they are simply starving for unscripted, long-form authenticity. Format Over Face: Designing repeatable, host-agnostic IP rather than relying on a single charismatic personality eliminates key-person risk and unlocks true operational scalability for digital studios. Contextual Brand Storytelling: The next frontier of monetization rejects one-off, disruptive advertisements in favor of naturally embedding brands into existing, high-performing video franchises. The Anti-Echo Chamber Demand: Algorithms have hyper-fragmented public discourse, creating a massive, untapped market of viewers who actively seek out raw, multi-perspective content to escape their own echo chambers. The TV Screen Takeover: Digital-first production must now default to cinema-grade standards like 4K, as YouTube's massive growth on connected televisions blends the boundary between streaming networks and independent creators. The Human Premium in an AI Era: As artificial intelligence commoditizes automated content creation, media companies that double down on raw, real-life human connection will hold the ultimate competitive advantage. IP Upcycling and Windowing: Legacy distribution strategies like FAST channels and AVOD licensing represent the most lucrative secondary revenue streams for creators sitting on deep libraries of episodic content.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The defense asked for additional time to file a motion for a new trial and indicated they need to retain an expert. The appellate lanes are identifiable: alleged prosecutorial monitoring of attorney-client jail calls, the Crozier recantation, the venue challenge, and sufficiency of the evidence. Defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis examines each one and separates what has genuine legal substance from what amounts to procedural noise.The attorney-client call issue is the strongest avenue on paper — if prosecutors accessed privileged communications, that's a constitutional violation that courts take seriously regardless of the underlying conviction. The Crozier recantation requires the defense to demonstrate the testimony would have changed the outcome — a high bar when the jury deliberated less than three hours with a circumstantial case it found overwhelming. The venue argument and evidence sufficiency claims face even steeper odds.But the appellate landscape is only half the picture. Before sentencing, Kouri wrote a message that landed in the prosecution's filing: "expose this county, the prosecution, the judge, the Richins, the investigation." She wrote, "They picked the wrong one." She wrote, "They haven't seen anything yet." She allegedly wrote a letter from jail instructing her brother to testify falsely. She's accused of witness intimidation. Her own thirteen-year-old told the court he's afraid she'll come for him if she ever gets out.Faddis walks through exactly what a convicted murderer can do from behind bars — mail, phone calls, proxies, people who believe she's innocent and will act on her behalf — and the legal tools available to wall her off. No-contact orders, protective orders, corrections-level restrictions — each one does something the others can't.The judge called her "simply too dangerous to ever be free." Kouri Richins isn't going anywhere. Faddis examines whether that means the danger is actually contained — or whether it follows a different path.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Doug Noll @DouglasNollPeacemaker reveals why explaining, fixing, or trying to be rational during conflict often makes things worse, and the simple skill that helps people calm down so real problem solving can begin.If you've ever watched a conversation spiral out of control despite your best efforts to stay logical, this episode will change how you think about conflict. Doug Noll, lawyer turned peacemaker and co-founder of the Prison of Peace Project, explains why traditional communication breaks down under pressure and how emotional precision can de-escalate even the most difficult situations.In This Episode, You'll Discover:• The one technique that works when emotions run high: identify and name what the other person is feeling so their nervous system can settle, and productive dialogue can begin.• Why Doug had to spend years unlearning aggressive trial lawyer habits that were effective in court but ineffective in conflict resolution.• The remarkable story behind the Prison of Peace Project and how Doug and Laurel Koffer trained maximum security inmates to become peacemakers who helped reduce violence inside prisons.• The power of ripple effect thinking and why true peacemakers focus on creating impact that reaches hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people over time.• Why conflict itself is not the problem. The real issue is how conflict is handled. When approached constructively, conflict can strengthen relationships and organizations.• What Doug learned about the limitations of litigation and why alternative dispute resolution often produces better outcomes.• Real-world proof that empathy and peacemaking skills work, even in some of the most challenging environments imaginable.• A preview of Doug's upcoming book, Empathy Leadership, which explores how executives and leaders can use these skills in organizations, boardrooms, and teams.If improving communication, reducing conflict, and becoming a more effective leader matter to you, this conversation is packed with practical insights from someone who has spent decades helping people navigate high-stakes disputes.About Doug NollDoug Noll is a lawyer turned peacemaker who specializes in helping leaders resolve conflicts where trust, relationships, and outcomes are on the line. After 22 years as a trial lawyer, he shifted his focus from winning arguments to ending them. He has mediated more than 1,500 disputes, teaches at Pepperdine University's Straus Institute, and co-founded the Prison of Peace Project.

Photo credit: Jerry Wierwille. In this second episode you’ll hear the second half of the debate: rebuttals, open discussion time, audience questions and answers, and closing statements. Subjects discussed include: traditional, Chalcedonian views about Christ’s two natures and whether these imply one too many persons the worship of Jesus which claims are essential to the gospel whether an immortal being can die the meaning of theos (god or God) as applied to Jesus in a few New Testament passages whether it is coherent to suppose anyone is both human and divine John 8:58 Jesus’s faith in God whether a Protestant should trust the “ecumenical” councils practical and spiritual consequences of viewing Jesus as God’s human Messiah vs. as a Godman Some of the arguments for Jesus’s full deity deployed by Dr. Bird here are addressed in my UCA Conference presentation in Sydney, about a week after this Melbourne debate. And many of the topics are also covered in my newly released book Monotheism, Heresy, and the Bible (UK)–such as the meanings of theos in the New Testament (ch. 1).

Greg dives into a surprising pattern that keeps surfacing in Catholic-Protestant conversations: why so many objections to Catholicism quickly circle back to sex, sexuality, and gender. From the intense pushback on Mary's perpetual virginity and clerical celibacy, to contraception, the male-only priesthood, divorce, and the endless cultural tropes about “sexy nuns,” repressed priests, and naughty Catholic schoolgirls, these issues generate unusually visceral reactions. Greg asks the provocative question: Does this fixation tell us more about certain Protestant assumptions about the human body than it does about Catholic teaching? He traces how a quiet but seismic shift during the Reformation—and the cultural currents that followed—created two genuinely different visions of what it means to be embodied, sexual, male-and-female creatures made for communion. The result is a fascinating, charitable look at why these flashpoints keep dominating the conversation and what the Catholic vision of the body actually offers in a world that's more confused than ever about sex, marriage, and human flourishing.

The man accused of killing political influencer Charlie Kirk is back in court again today. The defense team for Tyler Robinson argues that certain documents in the case should be sealed and that some of the prosecution should be sanctioned for speaking to the media. We hear a bit of the arguments, and Greg and Holly discuss.
Talking is easy now. Anybody can say anything, anytime, and keep the conversation going forever. But action is different. It takes time, effort, and real commitment. In this episode, I explain why demonstration ends arguments. When I take action, I don't need to prove anything with words because the result speaks for me. People who can actually make things happen don't sit around debating, they just move and create outcomes. Show Notes: [04:39]#1 Argument seeks validation while demonstration creates consequence. [10:46]#2 Arguments invite interpretation. Demonstration removes interpretation. [16:15]#3 Arguments consume energy. Demonstration compounds energy.

Today's episode of the Consumer Finance Monitor Podcast features a wide-ranging and timely discussion about one of the most consequential fair lending developments in years: the CFPB's final rule fundamentally reshaping enforcement under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) and Regulation B. Hosted by Alan Kaplinsky (the Founder, Chair for 25 years and now Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group at Ballard Spahr, LLP), the episode brings together an exceptional panel of fair lending authorities: our special guest Bradley Blower (the Principal and Founder of Inclusive-Partners LLC) along with John Culhane, Jr., and Richard Andreano, Jr., Senior Counsel in the Consumer Financial Services Group at Ballard Spahr LLP. The discussion revisits a proposal first examined on the podcast last year when the CFPB under Acting Director Russell Vought proposed sweeping revisions to ECOA enforcement principles (you can find more on that episode here). Now, the Bureau has finalized the rule largely as proposed, marking a dramatic shift in federal fair lending policy. The CFPB's Three Major Changes As discussed during the podcast, the final rule makes three major changes from the former Regulation B: · Eliminates the use of disparate impact analysis under ECOA and Regulation B. · Narrows discouragement liability by focusing primarily on spoken, written, or visual statements rather than broader conduct. · Revises the framework governing Special Purpose Credit Programs (SPCPs), particularly for for-profit lenders. The Bureau's stated rationale is that ECOA does not authorize disparate impact liability and that fair lending enforcement should focus on intentional discrimination rather than statistical disparities alone. Supporters of the rule argue that the changes provide lenders with clearer standards, reduce regulatory uncertainty, and create a more predictable environment for innovation, including AI-driven underwriting and algorithmic decision-making. Critics, however, contend that the rule ignores the historical role disparate impact analysis has played in uncovering systemic discrimination and could make it substantially more difficult to identify discriminatory outcomes embedded in facially neutral policies or automated systems. Disparate Impact: A Sea Change, But Not the End of Fair Lending The panel devoted significant attention to the CFPB's elimination of disparate impact liability under ECOA. John Culhane described the move as a "dramatic shift" for non-mortgage lending, noting that disparate impact theories historically drove many federal fair lending actions involving indirect auto finance, student lending, and other consumer credit products. At the same time, Rich Andreano emphasized that the mortgage industry remains subject to disparate impact claims under the federal Fair Housing Act because of the Supreme Court's decision in Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project. As a result, mortgage lenders still face substantial fair lending exposure notwithstanding the CFPB's new ECOA position. The panelists also stressed that disparate impact is far from dead at the state level. Several states, including Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York, are expected to continue aggressive fair lending enforcement using disparate impact theories under state statutes, regulations, and consumer protection laws. Indeed, the panel highlighted the growing role of state attorneys general and state regulators as federal enforcement narrows. Discouragement Liability and the "Townstone Effect" Another focal point of the discussion was the CFPB's narrowing of discouragement liability. The panel explored how the Bureau's revisions appear heavily influenced by the CFPB's controversial enforcement action against Townstone Financial, where the Bureau alleged that comments made during radio broadcasts and podcasts discouraged minority borrowers from applying for loans. Rich Andreano characterized the final rule's discouragement provisions as effectively "the Townstone rule," reflecting the current CFPB leadership's strong opposition to the prior Bureau's enforcement theory in that case. Nevertheless, both Brad Blower and John Culhane cautioned that courts and state regulators may continue to consider broader conduct, including branch placement, marketing strategies, and community engagement, when evaluating potential redlining or discouragement claims. SPCPs Face New Uncertainty The podcast also examined the CFPB's revisions to Special Purpose Credit Programs. Brad Blower explained that while SPCPs remain permissible, the new rule substantially complicates the use of race-conscious programs by for-profit lenders. Many institutions may now seek to redesign programs around race-neutral criteria such as first-generation homeownership, low- and moderate-income geographies, or majority-minority census tracts. Rich Andreano warned that many financial institutions, especially banks, may scale back SPCPs due to litigation and regulatory uncertainty, particularly given the broader political and legal environment surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The Practical Message: "Stay the Course" Despite the significance of the CFPB's rule changes, the clearest takeaway from the discussion was remarkably consistent: lenders should not dismantle their fair lending compliance programs. All three panelists emphasized that institutions should continue: · Monitoring for disparate impact. · Reviewing underwriting and pricing models. · Evaluating marketing and branch strategies. · Testing AI and algorithmic systems for bias. · Maintaining robust fair lending compliance management systems. As Brad Blower observed, institutions that "take their foot off the gas" risk state enforcement actions, private litigation, reputational harm, and future regulatory scrutiny under a different federal administration. Rich Andreano summarized the prevailing industry guidance succinctly: "Stay the course." AI, Algorithmic Underwriting, and Future Litigation The panel also explored how the rule intersects with AI-driven lending. Although federal ECOA disparate impact enforcement may narrow, the panelists noted that state laws and private litigation could continue targeting algorithmic discrimination. Several states already are pursuing or considering laws specifically addressing AI bias and automated decision-making. The panel further predicted that legal challenges to the CFPB's final rule are highly likely. Potential claims could include: · Administrative Procedure Act challenges. · Arguments that the CFPB disregarded congressional intent underlying ECOA. · Challenges arising under the Supreme Court's decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which eliminated Chevron deference to agency rules. The panel suggested that litigation over the final rule could ultimately reach the Supreme Court, particularly on the unresolved question of whether ECOA itself authorizes disparate impact liability. Conclusion This episode provides an exceptionally practical and nuanced examination of one of the most important fair lending developments in recent memory. While the CFPB has dramatically narrowed federal ECOA enforcement theories, the broader fair lending landscape remains highly active due to state enforcement, private litigation risk, the Fair Housing Act, and ongoing scrutiny of AI-based underwriting systems. For lenders, the message from the panel was unmistakable: despite the CFPB's final rule, fair lending compliance remains as important as ever.
