Send us Fan MailOn this episode of the Better to Podcast, I sit down with Amy Gaskin. Back in 2020 an idea came to her about going to Marilyn Monroe's grave and even though we were supposed to be masking she found fresh lipstick kisses. This lead her on an incredible journey of how the idol had come to be something more personal than a Movie Icon. When I was notified of the opportunity to do this interview I jumped at is as it was a way to celebrate Marilyn's 100th Birthday and did into someone that was near and dear to my heart when I was younger. I hope you enjoy it. ******Amy Stanford Gaskin is a photographer and journalist based in Los Angeles.  Extraordinary access is a hallmark of her images, which she earns by spending time with the people she photographs. She strives to capture intimacy and truth in her art.Her new book Marilyn Forever!  Marilyn Monroe—A Symbol of Hope documents and illustrates the personal reasons people are inspired by Marilyn Monroe for reasons far beyond her stardom.  During the early days of the pandemic, she happened upon Marilyn's crypt, where she was surprised to find wet lipstick marks decorating her resting place while the majority of the world was standing six feet apart. She began to interview and photograph visitors at her grave. Many shared stories of how memories of Marilyn's remarkable attributes and actions helped them through the toughest of times. Perhaps the most surprising discovery was that many identify with the trauma of her abuse, adoption and foster care, while others consider her a civil rights icon for the Black and LGBTQ+ communities. Marilyn's memory lives on in surprising ways through countless people around the world who are connected and inspired by her enduring legacy. National Geographic, The Washington Post, STERN Magazine, The Guardian, Associated Press, BloodHorse, CBS, ABC, Los Angeles Times, and others have featured her work. ******If you would like to contact the show Dauna@betertopodcast.comFollow us on Social MediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX0ETs2wpOHbCuhUNr0XFTw?view_as=subscriberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomSupport the podcast here: https://www.patreon.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedom©2026 Better To...Podcast with D.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comWhat happens when the justice system becomes one of the central battlegrounds of American politics?In this episode of Faithful Politics, Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram speak with Adam Klasfeld, veteran legal journalist and editor in chief of All Rise News, about several major legal fights unfolding in the Trump era. Adam has spent years covering high-profile court cases from inside the courtroom, including Trump's criminal and civil cases, the E. Jean Carroll litigation, the Epstein prosecution, impeachment proceedings, and major cases involving civil rights and due process.The conversation begins with Trump's proposed $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund. Adam explains where the fund came from, why its structure is raising alarms, and how taxpayer money could potentially be distributed with little public oversight. He also walks through why Capitol Police officers Harry Dunn and Dan Hodges are challenging the fund, and what the fight says about January 6, political loyalty, and accountability.The episode then turns to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was sent to El Salvador despite a court order blocking his removal. Adam explains why this case has become such an important due process fight, why judges across the political spectrum have raised concerns, and why the case matters even to people who may not follow immigration law closely.Finally, Adam breaks down the Trump Justice Department's case involving the Southern Poverty Law Center. He explains the government's claims about SPLC's former informant program, the connection to Charlottesville and Unite the Right, and why the case raises larger questions about civil rights organizations, extremism, and the rewriting of recent history.Relevant links for Adam Klasfeld:All Rise Newshttps://www.allrisenews.com/https://substack.com/@klasfeldreportshttps://x.com/KlasfeldReportshttps://www.instagram.com/adamklasfeld/Guest BioAdam Klasfeld provides some of the “best legal writing inside the courtroom” (MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell) and insights that are “always so smart and on the money” (MSNBC's Katie Phang).

The "party of life" is not hypocritical. It's selective.And this week, the receipts are overwhelming.North Carolina Republicans filed House Bill 1232, the "Human Life Protection Act," a constitutional amendment defining life at fertilization that would classify abortion as first-degree murder and authorize deadly force to "protect" a fertilized egg. Legal analysts warn the bill could ban IVF statewide. Meanwhile, the Associated Press published a devastating investigation revealing that at least 10 people have died by suicide in ICE detention since January 2025, the worst year in the agency's history. Seven had no record of violent crimes. Their average age was 32. The government called it "extremely rare."Also this week: the U.S. bombed Iran during a ceasefire and called it "self-defense." Cuba's foreign minister warned the UN that American military threats could cause a "bloodbath." Thomas Massie lost the most expensive House primary in history ($32 million) after pushing to release the Epstein files, and now says he'll release more names. And Ken Paxton, impeached, indicted for securities fraud, and divorced by his own wife on "biblical grounds," just won the Texas Senate Republican primary with Trump's endorsement after the GOP spent $100 million tearing itself apart.Pro-life?

In this episode, we host Dr Giulia Gallo to explore hantavirus, the recent MV Hondius cruise ship outbreak, and why a rare but serious infectious disease can generate global headlines without necessarily becoming a pandemic-style threat. Drawing on her work in molecular virology, viral-host interactions and viral glycoproteins at The Pirbright Institute, Dr Gallo explains what hantaviruses are, why they are not new, how they are carried by rodents, and why different hantaviruses cause different disease patterns in different parts of the world.  We discuss the difference between Old World and New World hantaviruses, why Andes virus is unusual because of its capacity for limited human-to-human transmission, and what public-health officials mean when they describe that transmission as “limited”. Dr Gallo explains why hantavirus can be extremely severe for an infected individual while still presenting a low risk to the wider population, and why the difference between individual severity and population-level transmissibility is so important for public understanding. The conversation also examines the MV Hondius outbreak, including the possible land-based exposure in Argentina, the role of the cruise ship as a confined environment, and why enclosed spaces, close contact, limited airflow and international travel can make outbreak response more complex. Dr Gallo also takes us into the science of viral glycoproteins: the proteins on the outside of viral particles that help viruses enter host cells. She explains why viral entry matters, how it shapes infection, and why studying these mechanisms helps scientists understand how viruses move between animals and humans.Dr Giulia Gallo is a postdoctoral scientist in the Viral Glycoproteins Group at The Pirbright Institute. Her work sits at the intersection of molecular virology, viral-host interactions, viral entry, immune responses and zoonotic spillover. Her research has included work on orthohantaviruses and how viral proteins interact with human immune responses, making her especially well placed to explain hantavirus biology, viral transmission and the scientific uncertainty surrounding rare but serious infectious diseases. Her expert commentary on the hantavirus outbreak has featured on Sky News, BBC World News, Channel 4 News, Associated Press and other national and international media.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk.

When three-year-old Brittany Eichelberger slipped out of her family's trailer in Elkins, West Virginia on Christmas Eve 1990, no one knew she was gone. She was found hours later, clinically dead in the snow — frozen stiff, her heart stopped, her body nearly 25 degrees below normal temperature. A neighbor, a determined paramedic, and a rural hospital team that refused to quit launched one of the most extraordinary resuscitation efforts ever documented in emergency medicine. The cold that stopped her heart may also be the reason her brain survived. This is a story about what happens when everyone around you decides it isn't over yet.

When Andre Oliveira left his Word of Faith Fellowship congregation in Brazil for the mother church in North Carolina, he expected a spiritual experience. According to his account to the Associated Press, what he found instead was forced labor. His passport was confiscated. He was allegedly made to work fifteen hours a day, usually without pay, cleaning warehouses and working at businesses owned by church ministers. Oliveira was one of sixteen Brazilian former members who told the AP they were exploited. The church maintained two affiliated congregations in Brazil that reportedly served as a recruitment pipeline, sending young people to the Spindale compound on tourist and student visas. Many spoke little English on arrival. Passports were allegedly seized. American workers performing the same jobs were compensated. Brazilian workers, according to multiple accounts, were not. Former member Rebeca Melo called it slave labor. Anti-Slavery International noted that using religion to traffic and exploit people follows established patterns of modern slavery. In 2014, three former members reported the allegations directly to an assistant U.S. attorney. A recording captured the conversation. The prosecutor asked whether the Brazilians were beaten. The former members confirmed it. She promised to look into the situation. According to their accounts, she never followed up. Tony Brueski continues a five-part investigation with the international pipeline former members say was built on stolen passports and stolen labor.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Word of Faith Fellowship did not just operate in Spindale, North Carolina. According to the Associated Press, it maintained affiliated churches in Brazil, Ghana, Scotland, Sweden, and other countries. Brazil was reportedly the biggest source of foreign labor. The AP's investigation found that the church allegedly used its Brazilian congregations to recruit young people with promises of religious or educational opportunities in America. They arrived on tourist and student visas. Many spoke little English. And according to sixteen Brazilian former members who spoke to the AP, their passports were seized upon arrival and they were put to work without compensation. Andre Oliveira told the AP he worked approximately fifteen hours a day cleaning warehouses and laboring at businesses owned by ministers. Jay Plummer, an American who supervised projects for a church leader's business, confirmed that American workers alongside the Brazilians were paid while the Brazilians allegedly were not. Several hundred young people reportedly traveled this pipeline over approximately two decades. In 2014, former members brought these allegations directly to a federal prosecutor. A recording of the meeting captured her asking whether the Brazilians were beaten. She promised to look into it. The former members said she never responded. Tony Brueski continues a five-part investigation with the operation former members have called trafficking and slave labor.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In today's edition of The Update Journal, Somewhere between the 14th inning of a Mets game, a 97-degree subway platform, and a Memorial Day mattress commercial screaming at you like it's the Super Bowl, we completely lost control of society. We look back at when extra innings used to be a psychological endurance test instead of a pace-of-play inconvenience, why every human being in New York becomes 43% angrier the second the temperature crosses 90 degrees, and how portable fans, ice cups, and corner-store Gatorades suddenly become luxury items. Plus, Brandon's Take on Memorial Day — the strange annual tradition where Americans try to balance honoring veterans while simultaneously financing a sectional couch at 0% APR for 72 months. Welcome to summer in New York, where everybody's sweating, nobody's patient, and somehow the fire hydrant is losing the fight too.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Wednesday, trains are rolling again on the Long Island Rail Road after a deal was reached to end a strike that had shut down the busiest commuter rail system in the U.S.A 56-year-old woman fell into an open maintenance hole on a busy New York City street and died, police and utility officials said as they investigated how it could have happened.And in Miami, the Justice Department is preparing to seek an indictment against former Cuban President Raúl Castro, three people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press, as President Trump threatens possible military action against the communist-run island.

House Republican Thomas Massie is paying the price for defying the White House after he lost his Kentucky primary to a Trump-backed candidate. The Wall Street Journal has analysis for last night’s result. As part of a lawsuit settlement, the IRS is “forever barred” from investigating past tax claims against Trump. Eric Tucker of The Associated Press joins to discuss how the settlement is tied to a compensation fund for people who believe they’ve been wronged by the Justice Department. Fractures forming between justices on the Supreme Court could affect consequential cases pending before the court. Bloomberg’s Greg Stohr explains why some justices are speaking out publicly in ways they may not have in the past. Plus, new details have emerged about the shooting at a San Diego mosque, the Senate issues a rare rebuke of the Iran conflict, and Arsenal’s drought atop the Premier League is over. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

A former teacher at the Word of Faith Christian School told the Associated Press that in the middle of class, children would surround a classmate accused of having demons, throw them to the floor, and beat them. Teachers were allegedly told not to stop it. The school, which operated on the Spindale compound under Jane Whaley's authority, was one piece of the church's alleged control over children and families. Former members described a practice of removing children from their biological parents and placing them with ministers to be raised. In some cases, contact was allegedly cut for up to ten years. According to former members, the separations served as loyalty engineering — children bonded with church guardians while biological parents were trapped, unable to leave without forfeiting their kids. When parents did leave the church and fought for custody, the Word of Faith Fellowship reportedly used its resources to fight them in court. Three single mothers described a church member and county court clerk who allegedly bypassed the foster system to gain custody of their children. A judge found clear evidence of abuse and neglect inside the fellowship. The church sued the Department of Social Services and reportedly won, closing investigations. Tony Brueski continues a five-part investigation into what former members say was a machine designed to weaponize family bonds.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Former teacher Rebeca Melo told the Associated Press that inside the Word of Faith Christian School, children would turn on each other in the middle of class. One child would accuse another of having demons. The group would surround the accused. According to Melo, children were thrown to the ground and beaten. Teachers were allegedly told not to intervene. John Cooper, who worked as a teacher's aide in Jane Whaley's class, said Whaley reportedly encouraged the violence and warned students not to tell their parents. But the school was one layer. Former members described a system in which children were allegedly removed from their biological parents and placed with church ministers for years — cut off from contact for up to a decade. The effect was that children bonded with minister guardians while parents were trapped in the church by the fear of losing access. When parents left and fought for custody, the church reportedly deployed attorneys, money, and congregant witnesses against them. Three single mothers told the AP that a church member serving as a county court clerk allegedly bypassed the foster system and gained custody of their children. One mother told a judge she would rather her son go to foster care than back to the church. A judge found clear evidence of abuse. The church sued DSS and reportedly won. Tony Brueski continues a five-part investigation with the most vulnerable victims — the children who had no choice about being inside.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Did you know? 96% of business owners are open to switching advisors right before, during, or after the sale of their business. That's a staggering stat from a recent study discussed on the Top Advisor Podcast with Scott Bushkie – highlighting both a threat and a huge opportunity for financial advisors. If you're working with business owners or want to attract more, here are three actionable takeaways from the episode: Start the Conversation Early: Don't wait for your clients approach you for a conversation about selling their business. Proactively discuss their exit plans and the value of their business before someone else does. Build a Trusted Team: Business owners expect their advisor to have a team of experts (including tax, M&A, and legal professionals) ready to help maximize their value and minimize taxes during this critical transition. Never Accept the First Offer: The study revealed that business owners almost always net a significantly higher sale price (sometimes 60–100% more) when they run a competitive sale process rather than accepting unsolicited offers. Case in Point: The Danger of Waiting Hear what happens when a trusted advisor “waits for the call” after a client sells – only to lose out on tens of millions in new assets because they weren't proactive. Or discover how partnering with experts and running a competitive sale process turned an initial $31M offer into a $51M payday for both the business owner and their advisor. Advisors: This is an immediate opportunity to be the hero your business owner clients need or risk losing them at the most pivotal moment of their financial lives.

In the summer of 1997, fear spread across the campus of Arizona State University as reports surfaced of women being attacked while walking home alone at night. Students were warned to stay alert, travel in groups, and avoid being out after dark. But no one expected the danger to strike in broad daylight.When 21-year-old Fiona Yu was found brutally murdered inside her own apartment, investigators described the crime as a frenzied blitz attack. With little physical evidence and only the belief that Fiona may have known her killer, police scrambled to stop whoever was responsible before they struck again. Then, two more women were attacked in eerily similar ways, raising fears that a predator was targeting women near campus.Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.com12 News (KPNX).

Imagine being surrounded by a group of people — their mouths inches from your face — screaming at full volume for hours. That was reportedly the starting point of a practice called blasting inside the Word of Faith Fellowship. Former members told the Associated Press the screaming was meant to cast out demons. But over time, according to dozens of accounts, it allegedly became physical. Members were reportedly punched, choked, held down, and beaten. Injuries including cracked ribs went untreated because the church allegedly prohibited members from seeking outside medical care. The compound maintained a four-room former storage building called the Lower Building where males perceived as serious sinners were reportedly isolated for up to a year. Jamey Anderson, who entered the church at age four, described treatment that other former members called some of the harshest anyone endured. Michael Lowry alleged he was beaten in 2011 over his sexual orientation. Matthew Fenner said he was beaten for approximately two hours in 2013 and has spent more than a decade pursuing charges. Five church members were indicted, a mistrial occurred in 2017, and by 2026 the cases had been transferred to a special prosecutor. Tony Brueski continues a five-part Hidden Killers investigation into the Word of Faith Fellowship with the violence that former members say was dressed up as spiritual warfare.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It started with screaming. According to the Associated Press, the Word of Faith Fellowship practiced something called blasting — groups of members surrounding a person and shrieking inches from their face for hours to allegedly drive out demons. Secret recordings captured the sound. Former members said it eventually was not enough. According to Rick Cooper, a Navy veteran who spent over two decades in the church, the practice escalated from vocal aggression to physical violence. Members were allegedly punched, choked, slammed to the ground, and restrained. Injuries went untreated because the church reportedly forbade outside medical attention. A four-room former storage building called the Lower Building was allegedly where the worst treatment occurred — males sent there for up to a year, cut off from their families, subjected to prolonged beatings and blasting sessions. Michael Lowry alleged he was beaten in 2011 to remove gay demons. He testified before a grand jury, then briefly returned to the church and recanted, then left again and reaffirmed his original statement. Matthew Fenner alleged he was beaten for approximately two hours in 2013. His case resulted in indictments of five church members, a mistrial in 2017, and over eight years of delays. By 2026, the case had been handed to a special prosecutor. Tony Brueski continues a five-part investigation with the practice the Word of Faith Fellowship called prayer — and the violence former members say it was hiding.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jane Whaley had no seminary degree, no ordination, and no formal ministry credentials. She was a former high school math teacher from rural North Carolina. And according to former members of the Word of Faith Fellowship, she allegedly controlled which of her followers could date, marry, have intimate relations with their own spouses, and have children. The church reportedly started in a converted steakhouse in Spindale in 1979 and grew into an organization with hundreds of members and affiliations across multiple countries. Former members told the Associated Press that the early days felt like an answer — community, purpose, belonging. But over time, according to their accounts, the warmth became a cage. Members were allegedly instructed to sever ties with family outside the church. Jobs, housing, and social connections all reportedly ran through church-controlled channels. Whaley was considered a prophet whose word was taken as gospel, and former members said they were taught that leaving meant damnation. According to multiple accounts, the church conducted invasive interrogations about members' private lives and allegedly kept the confessions on file as leverage against anyone who considered departure. In this opening episode of a five-part investigation, Tony Brueski traces how a small-town math teacher reportedly built a global organization built on dependency, fear, and control so total that hundreds of adults handed over their most intimate decisions to a single woman.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A former math teacher from rural North Carolina allegedly built a church where she controlled which couples could reproduce, which members could attend college, and who was allowed to speak to their own families. Jane Whaley and her husband Sam reportedly converted a shuttered steakhouse into the Word of Faith Fellowship in 1979. It grew, at its peak, to approximately 750 members in North Carolina and nearly 2,000 followers in affiliated churches worldwide. According to the Associated Press, the fellowship operated under roughly 145 rules governing every aspect of daily life. Members could not watch television, read newspapers, or eat at restaurants serving alcohol. Men could not grow beards. College textbooks had to be cleared by leadership. Former members have said the control went far deeper than lifestyle restrictions. They described invasive interrogations about intimate behavior, confessions that were allegedly catalogued and held as leverage, and teachings that leaving the church would result in cancer, death, or eternal damnation. Once a member's housing, employment, and relationships all flowed through the institution, departure reportedly meant total loss. Tony Brueski opens a five-part Hidden Killers investigation into the Word of Faith Fellowship with the question that matters most: not what happened inside, but how anyone got trapped there in the first place.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen recount the June 2008 Regatta de Amigos disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, when the 38-foot racing sailboat Cynthia Woods lost its keel, punched a hole in the hull, and capsized in 30–60 seconds about 11 miles south of Matagorda. Safety officer Roger Stone woke to rising water, warned the crew, and pushed two sleeping sailors up through the flooding companionway, but never surfaced; five others survived by lashing together, keeping a positive mindset, and signaling with a single flashlight until the Coast Guard rescued them 26 hours later, while their EPIRB and life raft were trapped below deck. The episode highlights wearing life jackets early, carrying a waterproof light, having a float plan, and mounting EPIRBs for automatic access, then covers conflicting investigations, a settlement supporting Stone's children, and his posthumous Coast Guard Gold Lifesaving Medal. 00:00 Podcast Intro 00:29 Nightmare Below Deck 02:49 Meet the Crew 07:23 Rough Night Conditions 10:42 Keel Failure Chaos 15:23 Escape Into Darkness 17:17 Staying Alive Together 19:46 No Beacon No Raft 21:46 Needle in Haystack Rescue 25:05 Recovery and Loss 25:31 Safety Lessons Offshore 29:24 Investigations and Lawsuit 33:44 Honoring Roger Stone 36:07 Final Takeaways and Outro Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ KEY REFERENCES: "Roger Stone: The TAMUG Hero You've Never Heard Of."

The Associated Press is reporting that FBI Director Kash Patel took a VIP snorkel tour of Pearl Harbor while on a “work” trip with a second “layover” in Hawaii.

And while it was disclosed that the FBI director made a stop in Honolulu on his way to New Zealand to visit the FBI office, it was NEVER disclosed that he made that second stop in Hawaii on his way back, where the snorkeling adventure to place. This is yet another potentially embarrassing story for Patel about what he prioritizes as FBI director.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
