Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan died this week at the age of 100. He was a towering figure in modern finance who oversaw unprecedented growth in the US economy. But Greenspan was also blamed for stripping away safeguards that might have prevented the Great Recession. WSJ's Nick Timiraos explains that while Greenspan retired two decades ago, his ideas are providing a model for the new Fed chairman Kevin Warsh. Ryan Knutson hosts.

When a Senate campaign gets hit with a sexting scandal, the spouse is supposed to disappear. Amy Gertner grabbed her phone, walked into a cloud of Maine blackflies, and recorded the most effective crisis response of the cycle.Everyone is covering the Wall Street Journal texts. Molly is covering the betrayal underneath them, and the moment a candidate who built his brand on owning his record reached for the worst page in the 2026 crisis playbook.Chapters:0:00 — The Reddit Bomb That Finally Detonated on Platner4:30 — How Amy Gertner's Confession Reached Genevieve McDonald8:30 — Linda Tripp, Monica Lewinsky and the Betrayal Pattern13:04 — Amy Gertner's Blackfly Video Goes Viral on X18:01 — Why Amy Nailed the Platner Playbook Solo20:00 — The NPR Interview Showing What Accountability Looks Like22:29 — The Vrabel Playbook Platner Borrowed By Mistake27:30 — Barney Frank, Janet Mills and the Democratic Party Distance30:00 — Silda Spitzer Versus the Amy Gertner Standing-By Model33:00 — The High Road Takeaway and Why Platner Is LimpingWe dissect:• Why Reddit was supposed to be Graham Platner's kryptonite, and the one trait that kept disarming every landmine until this one• The Bernie Sanders rally moment when Amy disclosed the texts to political director Genevieve McDonald, the inciting incident the WSJ buried• The Linda Tripp parallel and why the public judges the telling of a scandal as harshly as the act itself• "This is like my 20th take" — the unedited blackfly video Amy posted from a road in Sullivan, Maine, and why the imperfection is the point• The NPR interview that aired right before the WSJ broke, where Platner answered directly on the SS-resembling tattoo and Jake Auchincloss calling him disqualifying• The exact moment Platner called the texts "gossip," blamed the press, and reached for the Mike Vrabel playbook — the worst page in any 2026 crisis manual• Barney Frank criticizing Platner from hospice in Ogunquit, Janet Mills as the party's preferred candidate, and what "same technique, opposite loyalty" actually looks like• Silda Spitzer standing reluctantly behind Eliot versus Amy Gertner standing forward for Graham, with Amy Vrabel's conspicuous absence as the counter-exampleThis is not a recap of the WSJ story. It is a forensic look at why the spouse out-executed the candidate. When a campaign built on "own it, explain it, promise it" suddenly stops owning it, voters notice before pollsters do.What you'll learn:• How to tell the difference between privacy and a cover-up when a campaign says "it's handled"• Why raw, one-take video reads as truth in 2026 and a polished statement reads as guilt• What "someone else's worst" framing signals to voters, and why blaming the press accelerates the collapse• How to read a spouse's presence, posture, and word choice as the first real signal of what is actually trueYou can't blackmail someone who confesses first. The only thing you control is whether you face it before someone else does.Want More Behind the Breakdown?Follow The PR Breakdown with Molly McPherson on Substack (https://open.substack.com/pub/mollymc...) for early access to podcast episodes, private member chats, weekly live sessions, and monthly workshops that go deeper than the mic.

Was Barney Frank a political hero, a lightning rod—or both? Following the death of the trailblazing gay former Congressmember on May 19, Lucia Chappelle explores the triumphs, tensions, and contradictions behind one of the most influential and debated LGBTQ political figures in U.S. history. Included are recollections from Andy Humm, Ann Northrop of GayUSA and journalist Karen Ocamb (Substack: LGBTQ+ Freedom Fighters). Archive audio from This Way Out archives. And in a Rainbow Rewind, Sir Ian McKellen reflects on coming out. This week's NewsWrap on This Way Out reports on a rise in drug-resistant Shigella infections disproportionately affecting queer men, as health experts urge prevention without stigma. Missouri LGBTQ+ advocates celebrate the defeat of dozens of anti-queer bills during the state's legislative session, while activists worldwide mark IDAHOBIT amid both ongoing criminalization and notable legal victories for LGBTQ+ people. In the U.S., a federal judge temporarily blocks the transfer of transgender women to men's prisons, and the House advances a controversial “Don't Say Trans” bill targeting transgender students and schools. We also close with a milestone from Leeds, where newly installed Lord Mayor Stephen Holroyd and his partner Simon Mapals make local LGBTQ+ history.

RUNDOWN   Broadcasting from London while trying—and failing—to escape Mariners frustration, Mitch and Hotshot Scott bounce between Seattle baseball misery, European travel mishaps, London culture shock, soccer ticket disasters, and Mitch's realization that even crossing the street becomes dangerous when everything operates backward. They also hit Churchill history, Wembley dreams gone sideways, tourist adventures, and the strange reality that no amount of distance from Seattle seems capable of keeping Mariners disappointment from finding Mitch overseas. With Mitch away, Brady and Joe take an unfiltered look at a Mariners team that suddenly feels flat, frustrating, and increasingly difficult for fans to embrace. They dig into defensive problems, strikeouts, inconsistent offense, lineup decisions, clubhouse energy, and whether Seattle's identity has become too predictable and too dependent on home runs. Mitch and Puck wrestle with one of the biggest frustrations surrounding the Mariners right now: when questionable decisions happen during games, who actually owns them? The conversation centers on Dan Wilson, Jerry Dipoto, analytics influence, bullpen management, lineup choices, and whether modern baseball has created too many voices in the room. They also hit on Bryce Miller's interrupted no-hit bid, the controversial piggyback pitching approach, and the growing feeling that Seattle's biggest problem might not be talent. Mitch and Danny dive into growing frustration around the Mariners' decision-making, debating whether Dan Wilson is truly managing instinctively or operating under organizational marching orders from above. The conversation turns into a bigger argument about modern baseball philosophy, bullpen usage, lineup management, and whether Seattle is overthinking itself out of wins.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Jason Puckett | KJ-Aren'ts / Puck Drop Danny O'Neil | Host, The Dang Apostrophe   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch Flees the Country, Mariners Follow Him Anyway 20:59 | Mariners No-Table: Are the Mariners Becoming Unlikable?

  Dave and Doug Shaw cover the Georgia primary runoff matchups, Trump's primary influence and failed coattails, police brutality in South Carolina, and the deaths of Kyle Bush and Barney Frank. Georgia Primary Runoffs: Governor and Senate Burt Jones will face Rick Jackson in the Republican gubernatorial runoff — Jones outperformed expectations but Rick Jackson has momentum. Jackson runs the risk of over-indexing on Trump endorsement; he needs to build his own coalition. Lance Bottoms's entry into the race as a Democratic candidate alongside incumbent Ossoff might actually help Republicans. Meanwhile, the lieutenant governor's race heads to a runoff between JFK (who benefited from name recognition — people voting for the dead president) and Dolezal, whose campaign was a mess. His Sharia law flyer targeting Dolezal's Muslim name is tactically stupid in Georgia. Paulding County: Robert Lane Defeats Colleen Hampton in District Attorney Race Robert Lane won decisively, 65-35, in the Republican primary for Paulding County District Attorney. Dave had supported the opponent but congratulated Lane afterward. The race was amateur hour on both sides — particularly Hampton's alignment with the "Justice for Heather Turner" group pursuing a 2017 homicide case obsessively, maligning retired Sheriff Gary Gulledge, current Sheriff Ashley Henson, and homicide detective (and Dave's neighbor). Lane has no general-election competition; his challenge now is learning from the race's lessons. Thomas Massie Loses to Trump-Backed Challenger in Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie, perhaps the most constitutionally principled member of Congress, lost to Trump's preferred candidate in a sub-10-point race. Trump won Kentucky by far more, proving his coattails don't stretch to every race. Massie refused to rubber-stamp Trump and maintained separation from the executive branch — the role Congress is supposed to play. His loss signals the GOP increasingly favors loyalty tests over constitutional governance. Rumors suggest Massie may explore a 2028 presidential run; he'd get crushed, but his standing in principle has never wavered. Kyle Bush Dies at 41: NASCAR Legend's Illness and Legacy NASCAR driver Kyle Bush, 41, died shortly after testing a new racing simulator in Concord, North Carolina. He'd been coughing up blood and experiencing shortness of breath; reports suggest the infection may trace back to a ceramic stool incident four months prior that required 24 stitches in his calf. Bush was NASCAR's winningest driver across all racing tiers, owned a truck team, and mentored young drivers. He was set to race in the Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte and the Truck Series race this weekend. Robert Busbee, Ogeechee Judicial District Attorney, Dies of Heart Attack Ogeechee Judicial Circuit District Attorney Robert Busbee, 44, suffered an apparent heart attack at a local gym. Busbee replaced Daphne Totten, who notoriously jailed a domestic-violence survivor for killing her abuser (conviction later overturned). Busbee restored integrity to the office.  Police Chokehold on White Teenager at South Carolina Baseball Game A resource officer in South Carolina placed a white teenager in a chokehold and tased him after the teen's mother questioned a call at a private high school baseball game. The kid stepped on the officer's foot; the cop hit him in the head with a taser.  Kevin Warsh Becomes New Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh, 56, replaced Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair. Warsh looks younger than his age and came from Ohio. Powell remains on the board. Trump praised Warsh in a press conference — then immediately praised President Xi Jinping using the same language, revealing the praise was boilerplate. Interest rate drops expected when the Federal Reserve meets; Connie's new vehicle purchase timing may depend on rate movement. Georgia School Board Election: Paulding County Votes to Rein In District Paulding County voters approved a referendum capping property assessment increases at the inflation rate, forcing the school board to actually vote on millage increases instead of pocketing stealth tax hikes via rising home values. The ballot wording was confusing, but after county Republican leadership posted clarification, it passed. This is a meaningful check on property-tax expansion. Memorial Day Remembrances and Atlanta Radio History Dave honored Will Zapp, a fellow service member and purple heart recipient who died of brain cancer likely caused by Iraq service.

Terrestrial radio is dying; nobody listens anymore. Barney Frank Dies: 2008 Financial Crisis Architect Congressman Barney Frank died this week. Frank co-authored the Dodd-Frank legislation that enabled the subprime mortgage crisis and the 2008 financial collapse. He packaged bad mortgages together and sold them, leaving borrowers in perpetual uncertainty about who held their loans. Frank was famously disorganized in appearance despite being gay (contrary to stereotype) and ran a gay prostitution ring out of his Washington townhouse. His departure from the Senate improved the institution. Closing Thought: Primary Fatigue Dave is experiencing voter fatigue as Georgia heads into runoff season.

It's Friday, May 22nd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Muslim man abducts and marries 14-year-old Christian girl A married Pakistani Muslim, 41-year-old Arshad Habib, who already had three wives, abducted a 14-year-old Christian girl on May 12th. He forcibly converted her to Islam and married her, exploiting her epilepsy and mental health vulnerabilities to sexually abuse her, reports Morning Star News. The girl's father, Abbas Masih, a daily wage laborer and member of a local Brethren church in Lahore, the Pakistani capital, said his daughter, Nisha, disappeared on May 12th while working as a domestic helper at a Muslim household. Police showed the father documents claiming Nisha had converted to Islam on February 15 and married Habib three days later.

Jeff Bezos: We don't have a tax problem. We have a spending problem. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, gave CNBC co-anchor Andrew Sorkin a reality check on how ludicrous the Left's tax-the-rich scheme really is when measured up against the data during the May 20th edition of Squawk Box, reports NewsBusters.org. Sorkin tried cornering Bezos on the bevy of headlines in the media excoriating billionaires, decrying their wealth accumulation, and vilifying them for supposedly not paying their fair share in taxes. Bezos was not fazed. BEZOS: “I think what's going on is that it's kind of a tale of two economies. So, you have a bunch of people in this country who are doing really well. But you also have a bunch of people in this country who are struggling -- rent, groceries.  “A nurse in Queens, who makes $75,000 a year, pays more than $12,000 a year in taxes. Does that really make sense? How about we start by having the nurse in Queens not pay taxes at all.  “The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. The top 1% of taxpayers pay 40% of all the tax revenue. We don't have a revenue problem in this country. We actually have a spending problem.” Jeff Bezos gave an example of how spending more money is not necessarily an iron-clad guarantee of fixing a problem. BEZOS: “The New York City school system: They spend $44,000 per student. That's 30% more per student than other big cities like Chicago, L.A., and Boston. And it's three times more than Miami and Houston. By the way, New York City doesn't get better outcomes.  “If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, your packages would take six weeks to arrive, we'd have to charge you a $100 delivery fee, and then, when the package did finally arrive, it'd have the wrong item in it anyway.” Homosexual former Congressman Barney Frank died Former Democratic Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts, a self-avowed homosexual, died May 19th at the age of 86 after entering hospice care at his home in Maine last month due to congestive heart failure, reports The Western Journal. According to The New York Times, he came out of the sexual perversion closet publicly in an interview with The Boston Globe in the spring of 1987, saying, "If you ask the direct question: 'Are you gay?' the answer is: 'Yes. So what?' " He was the first open homosexual in Congress and the first one to be faux married in July 2012. Frank met his faux “husband,” Jim Ready, 30 years his junior, at a homosexual political fundraiser in Maine.   Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press in March 2015, Congressman Frank was asked this question by Chuck Todd. TODD:  “You're trying to answer this conundrum. Gay rights were once reviled publicly and Congress was revered. Now, those attitudes have flipped. How did that happen?” FRANK: “Our reality, as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people, beat the prejudice. The essential mechanism is there, that we stopped hiding. And it turned out we weren't what the stereotype was.  “There was a point when the notion that I could get married to Jim [Ready] while I was still in Congress, would have been the most bizarre possibility. And by the time I got married, someone said, ‘Well, was it controversial that you get married while you were still in Congress?' And the answer was, ‘Yes, it was. A lot of my colleagues were mad that they didn't get invited.'” TODD: (laughs) In an attempt to deflect from the importance of legislating morality on social issues, like homosexual faux marriage and abortion, Congressman Frank said, “The issue is not that morals be applied to public policy. It's that conservatives bring public policy to spheres of our lives where it should not enter.” But Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.” Barney Frank retired from Congress in 2013 and went on to serve as a political commentator, writer, and public figure. Colorado teacher prohibited 7th grader from reading pro-life poem in class And finally, a Colorado teacher at Drake Middle School refused to allow a seventh-grade student to present her pro-life poem in class because it was deemed “offensive,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. GIRL: “My teacher assigned an assignment in class to write a slam poem about a conflict in the world that we are passionate about. I chose life. I chose this topic because it's important to me and my family. In my poem, I met all of the criteria. I got reputable resources. And I included everything that I needed in my poem.” The opening of the 13-year-old's poem said, “A life is a life, no matter how small. Seventy-three million people have been killed in one year when they are completely innocent humans. They never get to see the light of day before they are cast away.  They did nothing wrong except exist and were dismissed. People say women need health care but never think how unfair. They kill baby for simply being there! The Word of God says [in Psalm 139:13], ‘You knit me together in my mother's womb.'  How come we never listen to this and try to send them to the tomb?” The teacher reportedly tried to kick the girl out of class during other students' presentations which slammed the Second Amendment and championed sexual perversion.  The girl's mother said her own mother became pregnant at age 14 and chose life, resulting in strong pro-life convictions in her own family.

President Trump scored a major victory in last night's Republican primaries, defeating opponents like John Cornyn, Bill Cassidy, and Thomas Massie, none of whom received his endorsement and have recently distanced themselves from him. The candidates Trump backed came out on top, highlighting his continued influence on the GOP. On foreign policy, President Trump commented on rising tensions with Iran. He indicated the U.S. is giving Iran a little more time to de-escalate, but warned that another round of military conflict is becoming increasingly likely. In response, Iranian officials threatened to target Gulf countries and oil facilities if the U.S. launches attacks against Iran, raising concerns about broader regional instability. Meanwhile, Democrats have been effective in recent congressional hearings, particularly in scrutinizing President Trump's proposed $1.8 billion fund, which critics argue could benefit his allies and friends.

The candidates Trump backed came out on top, highlighting his continued influence on the GOP. On foreign policy, President Trump commented on rising tensions with Iran.
