SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-5-2026.1900 ADAMS BOULEVARD LA. Jeff Bliss highlights the stark contrast between Seattle's controlled homelessness and the pervasive crisis in Los Angeles. The discussion transitions to California's jungle primary, where late-arriving ballots in the Los Angelesmayoral race show statistically improbable gains for Karen Bass and Nithya Raman, fueling accusations of election irregularities. Jeff Bliss previews the opening of a massive, multi-story In-N-Out Burger in Las Vegas, predicting it will become a celebrity destination similar to Hollywood's historic clubs or New York's Stork Club. He also reflects on a rare 1955 invitation from Walt Disney, noting its role in establishing Disneyland's enduring cultural legacy. Richard Epstein examines the 14th Amendment's opening clause, distinguishing the robust rights of citizens from the conditional privileges of aliens. He argues that naturalization was historically a federal prerogative, noting that early statutes, influenced by Thomas Jefferson, included explicit racial exclusions for persons of African or Asiandescent. Richard Epstein disputes the "plain meaning" application to the 14th Amendment, arguing that "subject to the jurisdiction" requires natural allegiance rather than mere physical presence. Critiquing the Wong Kim Ark ruling, he suggests that children of legal permanent aliens should inherit their parents' status rather than automatic citizenship. Jim McTague reports on the cautious economic sentiment in Lancaster County, where despite falling gas prices, consumers remain budget-conscious. While tourism remains strong at venues like the Sight and Sound Theatre, local officials recently rejected a proposed data center in Columbia due to technicalities and concerns over its utility. Lorenzo Fiori provides an optimistic update on Italy's economy, noting improved employment rates across various demographics. He highlights a landmark legislative shift toward nuclear energy, with small plants planned by 2034. For travelers, he recommends San Miniato, a strategic, less-crowded Tuscan village famous for its white beans. Bob Zimmerman dismisses NASA's sheltering orders on the ISS as an overreaction to routine Russian repair work on the Zvezda module. He details SpaceX's massive IPO, which aims to raise billions, and observes that private space station firms like Axiom and Vast continue to secure significant capital despite SpaceX's market dominance. Bob Zimmerman surveys global spaceport developments, contrasting Spain's investment in French Guiana with the liquidation of the UK's Sutherland facility due to red tape. He debunks claims that the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas is an alien craft and notes that unpredictable sunspot activity continues to defy scientific models. Andrew Bayliss recounts how Pericles provoked the Peloponnesian War by steering Athens toward confrontation with Sparta. He details the Athenian strategy of retreating behind city walls and relying on naval imports, a move that tragically facilitated a devastating plague, claiming thousands of lives, including Pericleshimself. Andrew Bayliss profiles Lysander, a Spartan general of modest origins who secured crucial Persian funding to challenge Athenian naval supremacy. Lysander achieved victory not through direct combat, but by using deception to capture the Athenian fleet while the crews were uncharacteristically casual and off their ships. Andrew Bayliss explores the aftermath of Sparta's victory, noting that Lysander's immense power and ambition ultimately led to his death during a failed siege. Sparta's dominance eventually collapsed at the Battle of Leuctradue to a dwindling citizen population, reducing the once-mighty superpower to a minor village. Andrew Bayliss critiques the modern application of the "Thucydides Trap" to US-China relations, arguing that the original Peloponnesian War was not inevitable. He suggests the conflict was precipitated by specific provocations and accidental circumstances, drawing parallels to the circumstantial outbreak of the First World War. Henry Sokolski warns of China's fast breeder reactor program, which produces super weapons-grade plutonium capable of fueling efficient nuclear triggers. He also notes South Korea's growing interest in developing independent nuclear capabilities and submarines to counter threats from North Korea and China, despite international non-proliferation standards. Henry Sokolski explains the strategic significance of deploying Dual Capable Aircraft (DCA), such as the F-35, to reinforce NATO's nuclear deterrent in Europe. He observes that while Moscow and Beijing oppose these deployments, the aircraft act as vital "glue" for alliances, ensuring that American nuclear guarantees remain credible. Richard Epstein analyzes the Wong Kim Ark decision, arguing that Justice Horace Gray erroneously applied birthright citizenship to the children of ineligible aliens. He further critiques the expansion of the Equal Protection Clause in the 20th century, claiming it was originally intended for criminal matters rather than civil benefits. Richard Epstein discusses the legal complexities of a proposed executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens. He highlights the rise of "manufactured citizenship" through birth tourism and predicts the Supreme Court may eventually distinguish between transient visitors and those seeking permanent residency.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, Alabama GOP Congressman Barry Moore joins to discuss his Senate primary runoff campaign and the key issues driving his platform. Moore also breaks down his new legislation requiring a disclaimer warning at the start of children's programming containing transgender content. In addition, he rails against the "weaponization" of the judicial system in state redistricting processes and highlights the Americans First Immigration Act, which aims to codify President Trump's executive orders. Finally, Moore stresses the critical importance of FISA reform to limit government surveillance overreach and explains the House Freedom Caucus's strong opposition to Central Bank Digital Currencies. In the second segment, Wyoming GOP Congresswoman Harriet Hageman shares updates from her own Senate campaign trail and her focus on curbing the overreach of unelected federal bureaucrats. Hageman details the SAFE Act, a bill she introduced to crack down on “chameleon carriers" – trucking companies that evade safety regulations through such means as rotating through names, ownership structures, and registration numbers to authorities, which puts unsafe drivers on the road. In the third segment, media executive, author and producer Chris Fenton dives into the shifting dynamics of Hollywood and the growing momentum toward bringing film production back to the United States. Fenton highlights his new family-friendly comedy, Bad Counselors, which was 100% American-made and employed 1,200 workers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. We're Paying for Fraud Clay Travis and Buck Sexton talk about the massive government fraud and systemic inefficiencies, particularly within healthcare programs like Medicare and Medicaid. The hosts highlight a Department of Justice crackdown in Ohio involving fraud schemes totaling over $50 million, emphasizing that such cases are only “the tip of the iceberg.” Clay and Buck argue that healthcare fraud is a nationwide crisis, driven by bureaucratic complexity, lack of transparency, and excessive government involvement in the healthcare system. They cite examples of fraudulent billing practices—including cases where providers billed for nonexistent or even deceased patients—and criticize a system that allows billions in taxpayer funds to be misused. A key focus of the discussion is how healthcare costs and administrative bloat contribute to both inefficiency and fraud. The hosts point to the massive number of healthcare administrators and argue that the current structure incentivizes maximizing billing rather than delivering patient care. They also examine how ordinary Americans are disconnected from the true cost of healthcare, which reduces accountability and enables exploitation. Listener input reinforces this argument, with one caller suggesting that reintroducing direct patient financial responsibility could help restore cost discipline and reduce abuse. The Guy Behind the AI Pratt Videos Clay and Buck interview filmmaker Charles Curran, the creator behind the viral pro–Spencer Pratt AI political ads, which have become a major talking point in the ongoing Los Angeles mayoral race. They talk about the rise of artificial intelligence in political campaigns and digital media. Curran explains how his small team of four used emerging AI video tools to produce high-impact, low-cost campaign content that garnered hundreds of millions of views across social media and traditional platforms. The hosts emphasize that this represents a transformational shift in political communication, comparing AI-generated campaign videos to modern-day “political cartoons” that can cut through media noise and engage younger voters. They argue that AI-driven storytelling—rooted in humor, cultural relevance, and perceived authenticity—has the potential to disrupt traditional campaign advertising and lower production costs while dramatically increasing reach and influence. The interview also highlights growing dissatisfaction with conditions in Los Angeles, which inspired Curran’s work. He describes widespread concerns about crime, homelessness, public safety, and urban decay, noting that these issues extend beyond traditionally lower-income neighborhoods into more affluent areas. Clay and Buck connect this to a broader political narrative, suggesting that grassroots frustration with governance in California is fueling outsider candidates and unconventional campaign strategies like the Spencer Pratt movement. College Sports is the Wild, Wild West Clay and Buck interview House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who outlines the legislative agenda heading into the summer and addresses key policy debates dominating Washington. A major focus is the ongoing effort to reform college athletics and NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) policies, a rapidly evolving issue in sports law and governance. Scalise explains that Congress is working to reconcile differences between competing House and Senate bills aimed at restoring structure to what he describes as a “wild west” environment in college sports. He highlights concerns about lack of NCAA enforcement power, inconsistent state rules, athlete exploitation by agents, and the risk of athletes being classified as employees. The discussion emphasizes the need for antitrust protections, athlete safeguards, financial literacy programs, and standardized rules to stabilize college athletics while maintaining competitiveness across conferences. The conversation then shifts to legislative priorities and government reform, with Scalise detailing efforts to pass funding for the Department of Homeland Security, combat massive healthcare fraud, and address housing affordability. A key talking point is the discovery of tens of billions of dollars in alleged fraud within federal healthcare programs, reinforcing a broader theme across the show about government inefficiency and the need for stronger oversight. The hosts and Scalise frame these initiatives as part of a broader push to reduce wasteful spending, improve national security, and deliver tangible economic benefits for American households. Clay and Buck Going to Hollywood? Clay and Buck talk with bestselling author Brad Thor, who joins the show to discuss his latest thriller Choke Point, the future of storytelling, and the intersection of fiction with real-world geopolitics. Thor provides insights into his writing process, explaining how he develops plotlines inspired by current events—such as China’s Belt and Road Initiative—and transforms them into high-stakes geopolitical thrillers. He also shares his views on artificial intelligence in creative industries, arguing that while AI can generate content, it lacks the human creativity and emotional depth needed for compelling storytelling. The discussion with Thor expands into Hollywood, streaming platforms like Netflix, and the adaptation of books into movies and television, highlighting a growing trend of multimedia storytelling. Thor also previews upcoming projects, including a major film adaptation of his work, underscoring the continued convergence of traditional publishing and visual media in today’s entertainment landscape.

Josh Duhamel is an American actor, producer, and entrepreneur born and raised in Minot, North Dakota, where a blue-collar upbringing instilled a strong work ethic. He played backup quarterback at Minot State University and majored in biology with plans for dentistry, but dropped out shy of graduation (later finishing in 2005). He headed west, fell into modeling, and won IMTA Male Model of the Year in 1997, exposure that led to the role of Leo du Pres on *All My Children* (1999–2002) and a 2002 Daytime Emmy. From there he built a mainstream career across TV and film, including *Las Vegas* and the *Transformers* franchise. He had no Hollywood connections, just a small-town guy who caught a break and worked his way up. Still active in film and TV, Duhamel has deliberately stepped back from constant Hollywood life, spending more time on his land in North Dakota and speaking openly about never fully fitting in: "I missed the simplicity of who I really am." Beyond acting, he founded GATLAN, a concierge health-optimization company built around his own experience with hormone therapy, which expanded into women's health in spring 2026. Raised Catholic, he favors a grounded lifestyle focused on health and aging well, and embraced entrepreneurship later in life. He's a father of three: sons Axl (with ex-wife Fergie) and Shepherd, and daughter Rocca, born May 2026 with wife Audra Mari, with family at the center of how he spends his time.

Keltie's flying solo for a deep dive with the man behind some of Hollywood's most famous faces, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond. After Keltie's viral Glamour article (and that accidental facelift confession to Dorit on Housewives), she's getting into ALL of it: the MediSpa nightmare that disfigured her face, what Dr. Diamond actually found when he "opened her up" a year and a half ago, and why that $800 Kybella appointment caused more damage than three neck surgeries. Dr. Diamond breaks down which lasers and treatments are actually worth your money (and which ones to run from), why most of what you're seeing on facelift Instagram is fake or repackaged, how to find a real surgeon when you don't live in Beverly Hills, and the red flags that should send you sprinting......and yes, there's a giveaway.

The apocalypse is trending again, which means naturally The Rizzuto Show spent way too much time discussing celebrity bunkers, survival plans, and exactly how many canned goods Moon would trade for a VIP pass into Post Malone's luxury doomsday compound.This episode starts with a deep dive into Post Malone's reported Utah fortress — complete with mountain views, security systems, recording studios, and enough amenities to make the end of the world feel suspiciously like a five-star resort. While billionaires are building secret hideaways and celebrities are stockpiling supplies, Lern starts seriously considering constructing her own underground luxury shelter. Because if civilization is ending, why not do it with themed décor and a fake beach mural?Meanwhile, we uncover one of Hollywood's greatest mysteries: Why does Matt Damon constantly need rescuing? From Saving Private Ryan to The Martian to Interstellar, movie studios have spent hundreds of millions of dollars bringing Matt Damon back home. At this point, it may be more cost effective to simply stop letting him wander off.The gang also gets sidetracked debating Father's Day, celebrity prepper culture, militia-friendly states, and whether Moon can somehow charm his way onto someone's apocalypse guest list before society collapses. Spoiler alert: he's already working on it.Then it's time for a packed edition of Crap on Celebrities featuring new music from Weezer, a Gold Album announcement, Kiss releasing yet another collectible for fans who somehow still have shelf space, Violet Grohl making her late-night television debut, and surprising details about Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein's reported relationship.Plus:• Paul Rudd accidentally auctions Avengers premiere tickets without telling Marvel• Shia LaBeouf pleads guilty after a New Orleans altercation• Tom Holland explains why his dyslexia keeps him away from hosting SNL• A horrifying new horror movie turns ice cream into nightmare fuel• The New York Times readers vote on the greatest living American songwriters and somehow create enough controversy to fuel several future family argumentsAs always, the crew manages to bounce from celebrity gossip to weird news to philosophical debates about survival, parenthood, music, and the proper use of an underground bunker. Which is exactly what happens when a daily comedy show is fueled by caffeine, questionable opinions, and absolutely no fear of getting distracted.Whether you're preparing for the apocalypse, trying to figure out why Matt Damon keeps getting stranded, or just looking for a daily comedy show packed with laughs, celebrity chaos, and random rabbit holes, Episode 51 delivers.And if the world really does end tomorrow, at least you'll have one more daily comedy show to enjoy before heading underground.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/RizzShow.Hear 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.

We start things off learning who took Moon's Blue Angel seat. Does he spend an impressive amount of time talking about it? Absolutely. As the crew breaks down the story, they somehow end up discussing social media influencers, science teachers, childhood dreams, and the emotional support system required to survive a week without Moon in the studio.Do electric bikes actually count as riding bikes? The crew dives into new enforcement efforts targeting certain high-powered e-bikes and electric dirt bikes around the St. Louis area. What starts as a conversation about public safety quickly becomes a nostalgic trip through mini bikes, neighborhood troublemakers, and the legendary Harold Mansfield—a man whose life story somehow includes cigarettes, football pads, and enough old-man energy to power an entire town.Unfortunately for Rafe, this episode lands directly on National Cheese Day. The result is a nearly impossible challenge as the crew debates America's favorite cheeses, reminisces about government cheese, argues about Parmesan, and watches Rafe slowly spiral into what can only be described as a cheese-related existential crisis.The food news doesn't stop there. The team puts on their completely unqualified legal hats to discuss a lawsuit involving a woman who slipped on mashed potatoes at an Outback Steakhouse and is seeking serious damages. Could mashed potatoes really change someone's life forever? The crew investigates the case with all the professionalism you'd expect from people who spent ten minutes ranking cheese.You'll also hear discussions about Cheesecake Factory's return to West County, dangerous summer bacteria lurking in the water, lake season traditions, childhood adventures, weird news, celebrity-level aviation envy, and the everyday chaos that somehow becomes a radio show.The apocalypse is trending again, which means naturally The Rizzuto Show spent way too much time discussing celebrity bunkers, survival plans, and exactly how many canned goods Moon would trade for a VIP pass into Post Malone's luxury doomsday compound.Meanwhile, we uncover one of Hollywood's greatest mysteries: Why does Matt Damon constantly need rescuing?

Spoiler alert: he's already working on it.A Houston 911 dispatcher who admitted she hung up on thousands of emergency callers because she simply "didn't want to talk to anyone." The gang dives into the unbelievable details, the real-life consequences, and the even more unbelievable punishment she received. It's one of those stories that leaves everyone asking the same question: "Wait... that's it?"The crew gets into a surprisingly honest conversation about grief after a listener asks whether using dark humor to cope with losing a parent is normal. What follows is a heartfelt, hilarious, and occasionally concerning discussion featuring dead-dad jokes, funeral stories, family reactions, and proof that sometimes laughter is the only thing keeping the wheels attached. Somehow, this emotional conversation also leads to a search party for a missing Jeff Burton cardboard cutout. Because of course it does.And just when you think things can't get any weirder, the conversation shifts to a life-changing offer: one million dollars tax-free—but your legal name becomes "Shart" forever. No nicknames. No take-backs. Just Shart. The arguments that follow may be some of the strongest legal and financial analysis ever performed by a group of radio professionals who absolutely should not be giving financial advice.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/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Ellisville PD cracking down on e-bike useCheesecake Factory seeks new location at West County MallWoman sues Outback Steakhouse for $1.5M after allegedly slipping on mashed potatoesFive Florida cases of 'flesh-eating bacteria' reported as 'hot beach season' beginsBank teller charged with sharing customer data in $28K identity theft schemeFormer SC detective accused of pointing gun at officer over microwaved fishInside Post Malone's $3.1 million doomsday bunker with basketball court and wine cellarCrenshanda Williams v.

Serving 20 years with the nation's largest police force, George transitioned from the intense "meat grinder" patrol blocks of NYC to the high-stakes NYPD Harbor and Scuba teams. George shares incredible firsthand accounts of what it's like to drop from helicopters into pitch-black waters, executive life-or-death maritime rescues miles offshore, and navigate zero-visibility "black water" recovery missions. He also reveals a fascinating look at his post-career opportunities, including his time in Hollywood training Keanu Reeves for John Wick (and the true story behind the famous "Wick flick").

She epitomised Hollywood: the fame, the fortune, and the chaos. Rumours placed her in bed with two Kennedys – and under surveillance from the FBI and CIA.

Shawn Johnson graduated from Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota, with a degree in Criminal Justice before earning his Juris Doctorate from William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was immediately accepted into the FBI, trained at the FBI Academy, and assigned to the Seattle Division. There, he worked on the Green River Serial Murder investigation before joining the Violent Crimes Squad, where he investigated bank robberies, fugitives, interstate theft, extortions, and kidnappings. His legal background also led to service as Assistant Chief Division Counsel. Johnson later joined the National Security Squad, working counterterrorism and counterintelligence operations, including joint overseas investigations with the United States Army and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Returning to the Violent Crimes Squad, he played a key role in the Hollywood investigation, helped establish the Puget Sound Violent Crime Task Force, served as Bank Robbery Coordinator, and authored the Division's Bank Robbery Response Plan. After transferring to the Milwaukee Division's Madison Resident Agency, he focused on drug conspiracy investigations, employing sophisticated surveillance techniques that contributed to major takedowns of drug organizations in Chicago and Madison. Following 9/11, he managed the newly established Madison Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), overseeing federal and local efforts to investigate international terrorism. Johnson later returned to the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, where he instructed new agents in criminal investigations, counterterrorism investigations, and Human Intelligence (HUMINT). His final FBI assignment was with the Directorate of Intelligence, training agents in HUMINT policy and procedures. Upon retiring from the FBI, he founded Wolf & Owl LLC, where he continues to train FBI personnel in support of the Bureau's mission to protect the United States. Steven Meyers was the partner and principal accomplice of Scott Scurlock, better known as "Hollywood," the notorious bank robber responsible for a string of high-profile bank heists in the Seattle area during the 1990s. Over the course of four and a half years, Meyers worked closely with Scurlock and their crew in planning and executing 19 bank robberies that resulted in the theft of more than $2.3 million. Beyond participating in the operation, Meyers helped develop the plans, create disguises, and support the methods that allowed the crew to evade law enforcement for years. Meyers and Scurlock were deeply involved in every aspect of the enterprise, including planning operations, laundering money, and acquiring vehicles and equipment. As Scurlock's closest collaborator, Meyers gained a unique understanding of the man behind the "Hollywood" persona and the motivations that drove one of the Pacific Northwest's most infamous crime sprees. In 2023, Meyers was featured in the Netflix documentary *How to Rob a Bank*, providing firsthand insight into the robberies and the inner workings of the crew.

Rambo Van Halen is a pseudonym. He's a Hollywood producer — the real kind, the below-the-line kind, the guy making sure the steel gets to the factory — who worked in the industry for decades, walked away in 2019, and wrote a book about it.The book is called Hollywood Samizdat: Notes from Below the Line. It's published by Passage Press. Lou read it. He dog-eared it. They talked for an hour. Topics include: what a producer actually does (mostly administration, definitely not what people think); what happens to actors when nobody says no to them for 20 years; the feminization of Hollywood and why straight guys stopped being able to do their jobs; military veterans vs. film school graduates on set (no contest); Werner Herzog, Klaus Kinski, and the Amazon river; the unwritten casting rule about who can and can't be the butt of the joke; MeToo — the careers it should have ended, the ones it shouldn't have, and the Joe Gatt story that will make your jaw drop; and why Rambo Van Halen is not his real name and probably never will be.

Vanilla Ice just dropped truth bombs on the radical Left — music has NO political rules, and he is refusing to bow to woke pressure! The 1990s icon is standing tall, defending his decision to perform at the Great American State Fair's Freedom 250 celebration while other artists are running scared because it's tied to President Trump. Vanilla Ice isn't backing down. He even said he would perform for Biden or anyone else — because real Americans are tired of the constant division. This is what patriotism and common sense look like. While Hollywood elites try to politicize everything and cancel anyone who doesn't toe the leftist line, Vanilla Ice is bringing back the '90s vibes, good times, and unity through music at America's 250th birthday bash on the National Mall. We also cover: Trump gives Fox News a ballroom tour. Robot dogs will patrol DFW.  Graham Platner's wife is upset at the media. James Talarico takes the lead in Texas? Joe Biden DIDN'T have a health decline. If you love real talk, American pride, and stars who refuse to bend the knee to woke nonsense, this one's for you. Drop a LIKE if you support Vanilla Ice keeping politics out of music! COMMENT BELOW: Would you go see Vanilla Ice at the Great American State Fair? Should more artists ignore the Left's boycotts? SUBSCRIBE and hit the bell for more videos exposing woke hypocrisy, celebrating conservative values, and defending American freedom. 00:00 Pat Gray UNLEASHED! 00:32 New Pat Gray BINGO!
