The Am I Wrong? isn't happy about being summoned a day earlier than usual for their weekly resolutions but Dave still leads us through some opinions on school photos, the Vikings early season schedule, downtown parking and complaining from Ben & Jerry.

Ralph welcomes Ben Cohen (anti-war activist and ice cream entrepreneur) to discuss his new campaign, "Up in Arms," which advocates for a common-sense Pentagon budget. Then, Ralph speaks to Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi about her recent piece: "When will we finally admit: the Gaza death toll is higher than we've been told."Ben Cohen is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and longtime anti-war activist. He is a co-founder of the ice cream company Ben & Jerry's and a prominent supporter of progressive causes. He is co-founder of Up In Arms, a public education and advocacy campaign pushing for a common-sense approach to military budgeting. In May of this year, Ben was arrested by Capitol Police after he interrupted Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s testimony by screaming,”Congress kills poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs and pays for it by kicking kids off Medicaid.”We're up in arms because the government has taken the kindness, the heart, the soul of the American people and essentially replaced it with so many bombs that there's no rational use for them. They've turned us all into mass murderers.Ben CohenYou know, politicians starting from Reagan are fond of saying “a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.” And then they turn around and spend $100 billion a year on a nuclear arsenal that's capable of blowing up the entire world several times over. So they say one thing and they do another. I mean, a nuclear arsenal capable of blowing up the entire world several times over? That's not deterrence. That's delusion.Ben CohenI just go back to the moral issue of our time, which is Gaza—two-thirds of the American people don't support continuing to arm Israel. And we need to make our politicians pay the price for continuing to arm Israel… We have a midterm election coming up. If your guy voted to continue to essentially facilitate the genocide, vote them out.Ben CohenWhen you have more money than is needed, you tend to invite corruption, cost overruns, machinery that doesn't work, and I would advise that you look into why the GAO and the Pentagon auditors are being asked to do fewer audits of the military budget. Because there's almost a direct correlation between throwing money at a government program (especially at that scale) and corruption. And corruption is understandable to everybody. It's the number one political issue all over the world, when the pollsters poll.Ralph NaderArwa Mahdawi is a columnist for the Guardian and author of Strong Female Lead: Lessons from Women in Power. Here is her recent piece on the genocide in Gaza: “When will we finally admit: the Gaza death toll is higher than we've been told” (The Guardian, August 8, 2025)To be fair, the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal have published some pretty devastating reports from their reporters in that area. They've put out some devastating features on what's going on [in Gaza], but it doesn't translate into editorial denunciation by these papers. And it doesn't translate into taking the next step and doing what they would do in other conflicts around the world where there isn't so much prejudice and domestic pressureRalph NaderI'm an opinion writer, but as journalists, you're always supposed to report facts. And the fact is: we have absolutely no idea how many people are dead in the Gaza Strip. But there are plenty of studies (which I reference in the article—one Lancet peer-reviewed study, one letter to the Lancet by a highly-respected scientist, one empirical study by Michael Spagat) which show that the death count is a lot higher. So I truly believe that unless you're saying “the official figure from the Ministry of Health is around 60,000 but studies show it is probably much higher,” then that's just journalistic malpractice.Arwa MahdawiI think there's just this instinct to believe that Palestinians are lying and Israelis are telling the truth. And it also goes back to…this isn't just Israel's war, this is America's war as well. And this desire to see America as the good guys—we're the good guys, the Palestinians are the bad guys. And to have this black-and-white narrative where, obviously, we're the good guys, you know, and so if the Palestinian narrative casts doubt on that, then it must be wrong.Arwa MahdawiI always suggest that people write to the media outlets and say that they want to see more Palestinian narratives, they want the media outlets to voice their concern that foreign reporters are not being let in, that more aid workers are not being let in, that pictures are not coming out.Arwa MahdawiThere are very few pictures coming out of the scale of this destruction in Gaza, but when you see the ones that do come out, it is very, very obvious that there are more than 60,000 people dead.But there seems to be this lack of curiosity with some of my peers. Why aren't they asking, “Why aren't we seeing more pictures?” There should be nonstop outrage that their press freedom is being stifled like this and so many Palestinian journalists are being slaughtered.Arwa MahdawiNews 8/22/25* Last Thursday, during an event in her Masscusetts congressional district, Congresswoman Katherine Clark – who holds the position of House Minority Whip, making her the number two Democrat in the House – called Israel's campaign in Gaza a “genocide,” per Axios. According to Zeteo, this makes Clark the 14th member of Congress to use the “g word.” Lest she be accused of bravery however, Clark quickly walked back her comments. In a statement to the Jewish News Syndicate, Clark said “last week, while attending an event in my district, I repeated the word ‘genocide' in response to a question…I want to be clear that I am not accusing Israel of genocide.” This incident illustrates the cross-cutting pressures facing Democratic Party leaders. This divide will be on the agenda again at the DNC meeting on August 26th, where among other issues, party leaders will vote on competing resolutions to lay out the Democrats' position on Gaza. Allison Minnerly, the progressive DNC delegate sponsoring the resolution to end arms shipments to Israel, is quoted saying “Our voters…are saying that they do not want U.S. dollars to enable further death and starvation anywhere across the world, particularly in Gaza…I don't think it should be a hard decision for us to say that clearly,” per the Intercept.* Even as Democrats wrestle with their position on Gaza, the politics are clearly shifting. The Reject AIPAC coalition has released a new statement saying that among Democrats, AIPAC is now a “toxic pariah.” As evidence of this, Reject AIPAC cites the fact that only 14 House Democrats attended the AIPAC-sponsored Israel trip this year. According to Mondoweiss, “In 2023, the lobbying group brought 24 House Dems to Israel over recess. In 2019, over 40 attended.” Reject AIPAC also cites the fact that Reps. Valerie Foushee and Maxine Dexter, both recipients of millions of AIPAC dollars, voted to block arms to Israel and Foushee is even now rejecting AIPAC money. As these small victories mount, the horizon of possibility for movement within the party grows ever wider.* Last week, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich – a senior department head in Israel's National Cyber Directorate – was arrested in a “multi-agency operation targeting child sex predators,” in Clark County, Nevada according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. According to Reuters, “Alexandrovich faces a felony charge of luring or attempting to lure a child or mentally ill person to commit a sex act ‘with use of computer technology.'” Yet, inexplicably, Alexandrovich was released by U.S. authorities and is back in Israel. This set off a firestorm in the U.S., with many accusing the Trump administration of facilitating Alexandrovich's release. The State Department was forced to issue a statement denying these claims, stating that Alexandrovich "did not claim diplomatic immunity and was released by a state judge…Any claims that the U.S. government intervened are false." The AP adds that the “Israeli Embassy in Washington and the Israeli Prime Minister's Office did not immediately return messages.” Disturbingly, the mainstream media seems to be purposely ignoring this case. While it has been covered by the Guardian, the Times of Israel, and Haaretz, there has been zero coverage in the New York Times or Washington Post, or ABC, NBC, or CBS. This media blackout adds fuel to the speculation that this case is being tamped down by the administration for political reasons.* Another troubling story regarding minors on the internet comes to us from Mark Zuckerberg's Meta AI. According to Reuters, internal documents from Meta Platforms detail “policies on chatbot behavior…[permitting] the company's artificial intelligence creations to ‘engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,' generate false medical information and help users argue that Black people are ‘dumber than white people.'” Former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan called these reports “disturbing” and cited a legal complaint filed by the FTC to the Justice Department against Snap in January, under her leadership, “charging that [Snap's] AI chatbot was creating risks and harms for young users.” Khan noted that the “DOJ hasn't filed the case or taken any steps to protect these kids,” and demanded that “Any lawmaker concerned about big tech's abuse of kids should ask what is going on.” The administration's lack of action on these issues indicates that despite their rhetorical inveighing against the tech industry, they are treating SIlicon Valley with the same kid gloves they use for the rest of corporate America, even when it affects minors.* In more positive news from abroad, the Washington Post reports that between 2022 and 2024, Mexico lifted a stunning 8.3 million residents out of poverty. This 18% drop in poverty includes a 23% decrease in extreme poverty and a 16% drop in moderate poverty. According to experts, this remarkable achievement is the result of the policies of former President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, or AMLO, and his successor Claudia Sheinbaum, such as tripling the minimum wage and instituting a raft of social programs to aid “senior citizens, unemployed youth, students, farmers and people with disabilities.” President Sheinbaum is now plowing ahead with a new project – producing a “small, 100% electric, accessible [EV],” called the “Olinia,” to be fully manufactured and assembled in Mexico, per Mexico News Daily.* Turning to domestic politics, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik finally showed up in her district on Monday after an extended period of avoiding public appearances. At a ceremony honoring a late Clinton County clerk in Plattsburgh, Stefanik was drowned out by cries of “‘You sold us out!', ‘Shame!', and ‘Unseal the Epstein files!', along with a “steady stream of boos,” according to the Daily Beast. Stefanik “left the podium after speaking for less than a minute,” and when she returned, she was booed again. Stefanik's chronic absence and chilly reception is a bad sign for her gubernatorial aspirations. In the months since she has held a town hall, her constituents held a mock town hall where they addressed an empty chair, per WRGB, and New York Democrats AOC and Paul Tonko held town halls in her district, per the Albany Times-Union.* In more political news from New York, disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo is explicitly seeking to woo New York Republicans in his independent bid for Mayor of New York City. POLITICO reports that at a fundraiser at media mogul Jimmy Finkelstein's Southampton estate, Cuomo told the crowd that he agrees with President Trump that the “goal is to stop Mamdani.” To this end, he is trying to convince Republicans that they would be “wasting [their] vote on [Curtis] Sliwa,” the Republican nominee for Mayor, “because he'll never be a serious candidate.” Cuomo also implied that he is open to an alliance with Trump, telling the crowd “Let's put it this way: I knew the president very well.” Dora Pekec, a spokesperson for the Zohran campaign, is quoted saying “Since he's too afraid to say it to New Yorkers' faces, we'll make it clear: Andrew Cuomo IS Donald Trump's choice for mayor.”* In Texas, state Democrats have returned to the state, ending their attempt to defeat Governor Abbott's mid-decade redistricting scheme by denying the legislature a quorum. In a statement Gene Wu, chairman of the Texas House Democratic Caucus, said "We killed the corrupt special session, withstood unprecedented surveillance and intimidation, and rallied Democrats nationwide to join this existential fight for fair representation — reshaping the entire 2026 landscape," per the BBC. The legislature is now expected to approve the redrawn congressional maps; the state Democrats plan to continue fighting them in the courts. California has vowed to redraw their own maps to compensate for the expected loss of five Democrat-held seats in Texas. New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Maryland are also considering their own redistricting plans. Vice President JD Vance was deployed to Indiana to pressure Republicans in that state to redraw their maps to favor Republicans as well, per the IndyStar. It is a sad state of affairs that American politics has been reduced to such naked power grabbing plots, but here we are.* In local news, the federal occupation of Washington, D.C. continues to deepen. CBS reports the governors of at least six Republican-led states are sending contingents from their National Guards to the capital. These include Mississippi and Louisiana, West Virginia, South Carolina, Ohio and Tennessee. Just what these troops will do in Washington remains unclear. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, who is sending 160 troops, cited “monument security” and “traffic control” among their official responsibilities. The federal agents on the ground, with little to do – the DOJ itself reports as violent crime is at a 30-year low in the District – seem to be mostly just harassing residents. The Daily Beast reports ICE tore down a banner and replaced it with a dildo. A local, Amanda Moore, posted a photo of 15 federal agents calling an ambulance for a drunk girl in Dupont Circle. And, while the Lever reports D.C. corporate lobbyists pushed for the occupation, it is wreaking havoc on local businesses; Rolling Stone reports reservations at D.C. restaurants are down between 25 and 31%, to take just one example. We can only hope that this pointless, destructive farce of quasi-fascistic political theater ends sooner rather than later.* Finally, investigative reporter and Iraq war veteran Seth Harp is out with a new book – The Fort Bragg Cartel: Drug Trafficking and Murder in the Special Forces – which details the double murder of Master Sergeant Billy Lavigne and Chief Warrant Officer Timothy Dumas, along with the “many more unexplained deaths…other murders connected to drug trafficking in elite units, and dozens of fatal overdoses,” at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. Among other remarkable discoveries, Harp “describes a U.S. special forces k9 [unit] that was given titanium dentures and encouraged to feast on human brains in the field,” in the words of publisher and producer Chris Wade. Remember these titanium dentures whenever you hear that there is no money to pay for critical social programs. The money is there. The political will is not.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Guest: Vaughn English   Guest Bio: Vaughn English is a growth-focused sales leader with over 10 years of experience driving revenue across industries including digital marketing, 3D visualization, tourism, and insurance. He has a proven track record of building high-performing outreach strategies, leading cross-functional teams, and closing complex B2B deals. Vaughn specializes in leveraging CRM platforms, marketing automation, and creative campaigns to engage prospects and accelerate the sales cycle. From launching national tourism campaigns to scaling 3D content solutions for enterprise clients, he brings a consultative approach that aligns client goals with actionable solutions. Vaughn thrives at the intersection of strategy, creativity, and execution, consistently turning opportunities into lasting partnerships. ​ Key Points: Background and Path to Sales Started in theater; transitioned to sales due to communication skills and confidence. First job: selling DirecTV inside Costco, a challenging experience that taught resilience. Gradually moved into more prestigious roles, now at Fracture.   Role at Fracture Tasked with building the B2B infrastructure from scratch, including identifying the ideal customer profile (ICP), creating case studies, lookbooks, product menus, and developing marketing and outreach processes.   Finding the Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) Initially targeted hospitality, but realized sales cycles are very long. Exploring design firms and higher education as more promising ICPs. Higher ed (e.g., Boston College) often needs ongoing art installations, recognition plaques, etc., making them strong repeat buyers.   CRM and Sales Technology Strong proponent of using CRMs despite challenges. Believes CRMs are essential for organizing contacts and outreach, launching automated email campaigns, and tracking sales activity.    Sales Outreach Strategy Focuses heavily on cold email campaigns. Personalized and well-researched. Uses intent data (from sources like ZoomInfo, Bombora) to identify companies showing buying signals. Example: campaign to Ben & Jerry's using their "Flavor Graveyard" as a custom subject line. Warm leads via email before calling; cautious about cold calling personal cell phones (though interviewer disagrees).   Team Dynamics and Management Style Small team (essentially 2 people); the other focuses on account management. Balances trust with light micromanagement, uses CRM visibility (e.g., BCCs, task tracking) to monitor activity, steps in when new leads aren't followed up quickly enough. Believes in hiring people he can trust to reduce the need for hovering.   Challenges and Learnings Struggles with ensuring consistent follow-up on new leads while handling large ongoing projects. Building out processes and infrastructure in real-time while scaling the B2B arm. Emphasizes that real ICP identification comes through direct conversations and testing.

Trump's trip in the Middle East continues. Yesterday, he departed from Saudi Arabia after securing around $1 trillion in deals, only to arrive in Qatar and strike another $1.2 trillion deal. Now, Trump has arrived in the UAE and is once again receiving the royal treatment: closed mosques, a tour of the city, and even an award. The news is calling him the “president of the world.” Next up, just because Trump isn't in the United States right now doesn't mean things aren't getting fiery in our government. Today, the Supreme Court will rule on Trump's ending of birthright citizenship, and Tulsi Gabbard just fired several deep state heads from the NIC. Finally, we've got loads to react to, from Ben & Jerry's ice cream co-founder getting kicked out of an HHS budget hearing to an attempted kidnapping. We'll be talking about all this and more on today's Untamed.  

Which of these Ben & Jerry's flavors is A. Fake, B. Causes you to protest an unrelated Bobby Kennedy Senate hearing? Steve and John with Pointe Pest Control are here to weigh in!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- While testifying before the Senate's Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was interrupted by protesters. Five protesters were ultimately removed from the hearing—including Ben & Jerry's ice cream co-founder Ben Cohen! 6:20pm- Dan McLaughlin—Senior Writer at National Review & a Fellow at National Review Institute—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article, “Put Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame—But Not Shoeless Joe.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/put-pete-rose-in-the-hall-of-fame-but-not-shoeless-joe/. 6:40pm- During Wednesday's House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) got into a heated exchange over the deportation of illegal migrant—and accused MS-13 gang member—Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/14/2025): 3:05pm- Newsom Flip-Flop: California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) is now calling for fiscal responsibility—and is advocating to curtail healthcare benefits offered to undocumented migrants residing in the Golden State. His proposal will freeze enrollment and will charge those who currently are enrolled a monthly fee. For years, Newsom has advocated for free universal healthcare for all. So, what changed? Rich notes that Newsom is preparing for a 2028 presidential run and is trying to distance himself from failed, unpopular policies—but don't believe his sudden shift towards political moderation is genuine. 3:30pm- Michael Whatley—Chairman of the Republican National Committee—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the “one big, beautiful bill” being negotiated in the House and Senate which would make Trump's 2017 tax cuts permanent. Chairman Whatley also weighs in on the New Jersey gubernatorial election, explaining: “this is a very winnable race.” 3:50pm- During his visit to Qatar on Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced that Qatar Airways will be purchasing 210 airplanes from the U.S. manufacturer Boeing. The deal is reportedly worth $200 billion. 3:55pm- While promoting his new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” CNN's Jake Tapper revealed that a White House physician informed then-President Joe Biden's aides that he might require the assistance of a wheelchair in his second term if he were to continue falling. While Tapper is reporting on these stories now, why wasn't he doing so prior to Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election? 4:05pm- While speaking from Riyadh, President Donald Trump announced that Saudi Arabia will be investing $600 billion in the United States economy—focusing on technology development and including a $142 billion defense sales agreement. During one address, Trump stated of previous administration policies regarding the Middle East: "In the end, the so-called nation-builders wrecked far more nations than they built. And the interventionists were intervening in complex societies that they didn't understand themselves." 4:15pm- During an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, President Donald Trump implored Iran to abandon their quest to develop nuclear weapons—noting that during his first administration, strict sanctions on Iran prevented them from funding terror efforts throughout the Middle East. 4:20pm- Should President Trump accept a $400 million plane from Qatar? According to reports, it would replace the current Air Force One—which is nearly 40 years old—and would eventually be gifted to the Trump Presidential Library after Trump leaves office in 2029. Appearing on Fox News, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said accepting the gift would be a violation of the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution and is not worth even “the appearance of impropriety.” 4:40pm- Should Rich let Mama Zeoli produce one segment of the show every Friday—where she'll get to select topics? Plus, is Phil Murphy the worst governor in modern New Jersey history. And Rich keeps missing his break times…turns out his clock is broken. 5:00pm- On Friday, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka alongside Congressmembers Bonnie Watson-Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez visited the Delaney Hall Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in New Jersey—at one point trespassing which led to a confrontation with ICE officials and the eventual arrest of Mayor Baraka. ICE has released bodycam footage of the altercation which shows Rep. McIver attempting to physically shove past ICE agents. Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez threatened Republicans with retaliation if Democrat lawmakers are charged with crimes for their involvement in the Delaney Hall incident. 5:20pm- During Wednesday's House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Departmen ...

Do you ever find yourself reaching for food out of habit rather than hunger? Maybe you're out running errands, and that Dairy Queen calls your name, or after a long, exhausting day, you hear the Ben & Jerry's in your freezer beckoning. These foods may offer comfort in the moment, but they aren't solving the real problem. In this episode, Dara Tomasson, professional quilter turned life coach, explores why breaking up with food is so difficult. She shares insights into the neuroscience behind cravings, why our brains are wired to seek food for comfort, and how we can start rewiring those patterns for lasting change. Dara also discusses how patterns of emotional eating develop, how they impact our health, and what we can do to create healthier habits. She highlights a client's inspiring journey—at 63, she has lost 70 pounds and is continuing her transformation by shifting her mindset and reducing self-shame. If you've ever wondered why it's so hard to break free from food cravings, this episode is for you. Key Topics Covered: The emotional connection to food and why certain foods seem irresistible How our brain's “motivational triad” influences eating habits (seeking pleasure, conserving energy, avoiding pain) Why food cravings are often about comfort, not hunger How refined sugars and processed foods create a cycle of dependency Real-life client success story: overcoming emotional eating and losing weight sustainably Understanding how habits are formed and why willpower alone isn't enough The importance of rewiring subconscious patterns to create lasting change Resources & Free Worksheets: Dara has created a helpful worksheet to guide you through breaking free from emotional eating.

On episode 235, we welcome Jaz Brisack to discuss unionizing efforts for Starbucks workers and Project Germinal, how unions form and why workers may fear them, the popular ideas of unions and how they're misrepresented by corporate media, Jaz's experiences in the Starbucks union and “salting,” whether corporate managers act in good faith, anti-union tactics and why they should be considered psychological warfare, and how workers can sustain a sense of hope in the face of their significant and persistent professional struggles. Jaz Brisack is a union organizer and cofounder of the Inside Organizer School, which trains workers to unionize. After spending one year at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, they got a job as a barista at the Elmwood Starbucks in Buffalo, New York, becoming a founding member of Starbucks Workers United and helping organize the first unionized Starbucks in the United States.

In the latest episode of The Food Professor Podcast, we dive into a wide range of topics, from international trade tensions to the evolving role of social media in the culinary world. We kick off the episode with the announcement that Canada will be the country of honour at the SIAL Food Innovation Show, reflecting on the importance of celebrating Canadian food and innovation during shifting global dynamics.We then turn our attention to the pork industry in Canada, discussing recent geopolitical issues that have led to uncertainty, including tensions with China and auto tariffs from the United States. Sylvain shares insights from his recent talk at the Ontario Pork Convention, where industry stakeholders expressed concerns over market volatility and the potential impact of reduced Chinese pork imports. He discusses how pork producers hope to leverage domestic barbecue season to boost sales, given the rising costs of beef and poultry.Michael and Sylvain also reflect on the political landscape in Canada as an election approaches, discussing how the changing dynamics between the Liberals and Conservatives could impact the agriculture and food sectors. They touch on recent poll swings and analyze the political strategies shaping the campaigns, particularly how geopolitical leadership and dealing with major global players like Trump and China have become central issues.The conversation shifts to business strategy as they discuss Unilever's management challenges with the Ben & Jerry brand, examining how corporate culture clashes between activism and profitability affect the company's public image. The hosts debate whether it was ever a good idea for Unilever to acquire such a distinctively activist brand and speculate on how the unfolding lawsuits might play out.We also discuss the Loblaw body cam pilot project, aimed at enhancing security amid rising organized retail crime. Michael explains the strategic reasons behind implementing body cams, emphasizing the dual purpose of evidence collection and deterrence. Sylvain shares his perspective on the ethical considerations and how other retailers might respond if the initiative proves successful.Finally, the episode's highlight features a captivating interview with Chef Tuệ Nguyễn, celebrated chef, cultural storyteller, and viral content creator. Tuệ, the visionary behind ĐiĐi in Los Angeles and the cookbook Ði Ăn, shares her journey from Vietnam to LA, building her culinary brand and amassing over 1.3 million followers.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (03/20/2025): 3:05pm- The far-left continues to vandalize Tesla electric vehicles—citing their hatred for the CEO, and Trump Administration advisor, Elon Musk. In a video that has gone viral on social media, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) told a crowd in Wisconsin that he enjoys watching Tesla's stock go down. 3:30pm- Last week, President Donald Trump issued orders to deport roughly 250 dangerous gang members who entered the U.S. unlawfully—sending them to El Salvador where they will be held at the country's “terrorism confinement center.” Judge James E. Boasberg, of the U.S. District Court for D.C., ordered the Trump Administration to have the planes reverse course and return the detainees to the United States. However, due to the late timing of the order, the Trump Administration followed through with the deportation as planned. The administration contends the removals were lawful and within the established powers of the executive branch, specifically citing the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. According to a new report from The Daily Wire, Judge Boasberg—an Obama appointee—has a history of halting President Trump's immigration policies and also offered a lenient sentence with no jail time for an FBI official largely responsible for the Trump/Russia collusion hoax. 4:05pm- The far-left continues to vandalize Tesla electric vehicles—citing their hatred for the CEO, and Trump Administration advisor, Elon Musk.

Rich notes that Republicans simply avoid buying Ben & Jerry's ice cream, for example. However, no one is destroying their product or attacking consumers. 4:30pm- From the White House, President Donald Trump signed an executive order designed to effectively dismantle the Department of Education. Last week, the department announced it was eliminating 1,950 staff positions and today's order is expected to further reduce the size and authority of the agency. During the signing ceremony, President Trump emphasized that Title I programs and IDEA will still be federally funded and will not be touched. The programs provide funding for students in high-poverty areas as well as students with disabilities. President Trump emphatically stated: “we are going to bring education back to the states where it belongs” and emphasized that teachers—whether they are in unions or not in unions—are some of the most important people in the country, vowing to make sure they are taken care of. In order to completely do away with the department, Congress will need to pass legislation explicitly authorizing its removal. 4:45pm- Rich notes of President Donald Trump's dismantling of the Department of Education, this is a historical day—as the executive branch is relinquishing power and returning it back to the states. 4:50pm- While appearing on MSNBC, President of the American Federation of Teachers Randi Weingarten reacted to news that the Trump Administration will dismantle the Department of Education: “I'm spitting mad about this!” 5:00pm- The far-left continues to vandalize Tesla electric vehicles—citing their hatred for the CEO, and Trump Administration advisor, Elon Musk.

During a recent monologue, late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel joked about crimes against Tesla vehicles and their owners. Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said of the attacks: the Trump Administration “will ensure that the harshest penalties are pursued for those engaging in this vicious violence that we have seen targeted at this American company.” Rich emphasizes overly violent acts used to effectuate political change is, by definition, terrorism. 5:20pm- While appearing on The Vince Coglianese Show, Vice Pre ...

¡Amantes del riesgo financiero, abrochaos los cinturones! El 2025 se presenta como un torbellino en los mercados, y la monotonía, créeme, no figura en el menú. ¿Harto de la placidez bursátil? Nosotros, desde luego, sí. Volatilidad desatada: Se habló de volatilidad... ¡y volatilidad tenemos! El S&P 500 y el Nasdaq se han desplomado, cual castillo de naipes. Nuestras carteras, incluso las más prudentes, acusan el golpe. Y, por supuesto, Tesla se corona como reina del drama. La cripto-montaña rusa, sin frenos: ¿Bitcoin ha tocado techo o nos aguarda un nuevo récord? El enigma persiste... aunque un "cruce de la muerte" en el dólar podría deparar sorpresas. ¡Resistid, cripto-adeptos! Compañías en la palestra: entre dramas y oportunidades. Adobe: La Inteligencia Artificial, de momento, no deslumbra. ¿Es momento de una retirada estratégica? Dollar General: Una posible resurrección. ¿Infravalorada y lista para el despegue? Dick's Sporting Goods: Resultados decentes, pero, ¿será suficiente para convencer al mercado? El sector tecnológico, en caída libre: ¡2,7 billones de dólares esfumados! ¿Guerras comerciales, recesión a la vista...? El pánico, ciertamente, se ha adueñado de la escena. Tesla, Lego, Ferrari, Porsche... Un desfile de ganadores y perdedores en un mercado en constante ebullición. D-Wave Quantum: ¿Supremacía cuántica o, simplemente, fuegos artificiales? ¿Burbuja? La pregunta del millón. Bank of America ya lo anticipó... ¿Nos encontramos al borde del abismo? Valoraciones, expectativas, inflación... Un cóctel, sin duda, explosivo. Diversificación frente a Concentración: el debate de nunca acabar. ¿La estrategia ideal para ti, inversor de a pie? Permíteme guiarte. El helado se derrite, literalmente: Unilever se despide de Magnum y Ben & Jerry's. ¿El ocaso de un imperio? Y, por supuesto, mucho más: Inflación, tiendas de conveniencia en horas bajas, smartphones plegables... Un torbellino de noticias que, como mínimo, te mantendrá despierto. La semana próxima... ¡La Fed toma la palabra (o no)! Jerome Powell en el estrado. ¿Nos concederá un alivio o nos empujará al abismo? ¡La expectación es máxima! En definitiva: Un episodio repleto de análisis, acción y, por supuesto, nuestra característica ironía sutil. Si pretendes sobrevivir a este mercado, este podcast, créeme, es tu salvavidas.

To hear more, visit zeteo.comDonald Trump hasn't even been in office for a month, and already, his administration is dismantling key agencies of the federal government, including USAID. Much of this work is being done by shadow president Elon Musk, whose so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been wreaking havoc on key systems at the Treasury, the Department of Education, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.If DOGE really plans on cutting $2 trillion from the federal budget, there's one place progressives say he can start: the Pentagon's whopping $850 billion budget.“If you're going to say that you're going to deal with government waste and you're not going to be dealing with the Pentagon, you're just one big hypocrite,” Ben Cohen, progressive activist and co-founder of the ice cream brand Ben & Jerry's, tells Mehdi.“If the Pentagon were a publicly held company, the executives would be in jail today,” Cohen says.For Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist who served in Trump's first-term State Department, DOGE's efforts to destroy USAID are a big concern.“I'm all for reforms, but you would be naive not to recognize the miracle work they do each and every day around the world,” Bartlett says.Cohen points out that defunding USAID not only takes food out of the mouths of people who are starving; it results in “essentially killing newborn babies by getting rid of HIV/AIDS treatment for their moms.”In recent days, Trump has touted his plan to “take over” Gaza and said in a Fox interview that Palestinians won't have the right to return to the territory. It's a move Bartlett says “is more than problematic.”“For a lasting peace to ever be a notion in this world, the Palestinians need to have sovereignty,” Bartlett tells Mehdi. “They need to have their homeland returned to them.”If you are a paid subscriber, you can watch the full panel discussion with Ben Cohen and Matthew Bartlett above to hear Mehdi question the latter about why and how he served in Trump's first administration, and to hear Cohen's response to whether Trump's plan for Gaza amounts to ethnic cleansing and why parent company Unilever is trying to suppress Ben & Jerry's stance on Palestine.Free subscribers can watch a 4-minute preview.

WOKE ice cream company Ben & Jerry's reveals INSURRECTION plot to STOP Trump!

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit thetwelfthhouse.substack.comHi! The doors to The North Node are open until Monday, January 6th. If you want to learn more about what we do in there, you can read more here. Friends, Romans, chronically online countrypeople — it's 2024 and your girl has spent two years marinating in what I'm calling The Void™ (patent pending, merchandise coming never). After being forced to abandon my most reliable personality trait — working at the speed of light and launching products faster than Zara changes aesthetics — I've emerged with some thoughts about business, creativity, and why sometimes doing absolutely nothing is actually... everything?Picture it: Sicily, 1922. Just kidding. Picture it: me, a non-linear brain with one setting — VERY FAST — being forced by the universe to... slow... down. The audacity. The horror. The absolute violation of my Aries midheaven rights! Key revelations from my extended stay in The Void (or: what happens when an ADHD entrepreneur is forced to practice patience)… There are THREE flavors of void-states (like spiritual Ben & Jerry's, but with fewer calories and more existential crises):

Is “corporate ethics” an oxymoron? Do you have to be a jerk to be a successful CEO? Is exploitation the only path to profit?The good news is that many companies, big and small, in the food economy are blazing a different path through Wall Street's jungle of greed, demonstrating that money and morality can be compatible. Texas supermarket chain HEB, for example, has drawn an intensely loyal customer base by (1) investing in good wages and benefits for employees, (2) showing up in such emergencies as pandemics, hurricanes, freezes, etc. to give essential supplies and hands-on help, and (3) being an involved and supportive neighbor to the hundreds of unique communities it serves.Also, Maine Grains is “relocalizing” the business of milling grain by working with local farmers who'd been abandoned by global grain marketers like Ardent and Gold Medal. They're producing nutrient-rich flours from heritage grains, boosting the local economy in the process. Then there's Bob's Red Mill, which also artfully mills its products from diverse, natural grains–and it's 100% employee-owned.These are part of a rising business alternative to the selfish, profiteering ethic of Fortune 500 titans. Called certified B Corporations, they definitely exist to make a profit, but they are equally focused on having a positive social impact, prioritizing fair wages, environmental protections, and healthy communities as core elements of their missions, even making those goals legal requirements of their corporate charter.Ben & Jerry's, Amy's Kitchen, King Arthur Baking, and New Belgium Brewery are just a few more of some 3,800 other businesses now organized as B Corps. Though not pretending to be perfect, they're at least striving to be more than money grubbers, instead trying to contribute to the Common Good.

"The One Where... Grant's Mom Finally Visits" - Season Finale After countless mentions, one infamous phone call attempt to shame Jay, and years of anticipation, we finally welcome Grant's Mom into the studio for our season finale. But first, a word of caution: while we're known for finding humor in the darkest corners of mental health, this episode tackles some heavy subjects including depression, anxiety, loneliness, suicide, and molestation. Don't worry though – our dynamic duo still manages to navigate these waters with their trademark blend of sensitivity and wit. In what can only be described as a masterclass in elderly interviewing (yes, you read that right), Jason shocks everyone by trading his Angry Ginger persona for that of a surprisingly skilled interviewer. Who knew he could be professional? Certainly not Grant! The episode peels back the layers of Grant's childhood, revealing the complexities of growing up in a home where Dad's presence was measured in weeks away rather than time present. We learn how the family eventually needed therapy just to reintegrate him back into their daily lives – both as a father and husband. Grant's Mom opens up about the challenges of essentially solo-parenting two boys while instilling the values that would shape Grant into the ice-cream-binging, anxiety-managing, deeply empathetic human we know today. In an unexpected turn, a discussion about a recently deceased family friend evolves into a powerful moment when Grant confronts the disconnect between his parents' memories and his own traumatic experiences with this person. It's a stark reminder that sometimes, even our own parents, can forget about our most touching moments. The conversation shifts to parenting tactics, exploring what we inherit from our parents and – in true grandparent fashion – how all those carefully crafted rules go straight out the window once grandkids enter the picture. Because apparently, "What happens at Grandma's stays at Grandma's" is now a legally binding contract. We wrap up with Mom sharing her favorite memories of Grant, proving that even our most sensitive moments can lead Jay to an unexpected tugging on the wrong kind of heart strings of conversation – though Jay's contribution to this touching maternal moment certainly had Grant wishing his mom had packed some extra absorption for the emotional overflow. This season finale serves as a powerful reminder that understanding our mental health often means looking back at where we came from, even if that journey requires a few laughs to get through the years and years of tears. Thank you for joining us on this wild ride through the landscape of mental health, family dynamics, and the occasional inappropriate joke that somehow made it past the editing room. See you next season, where we'll continue our mission to make mental health discussions a little less heavy and a lot more human – one questionably appropriate conversation at a time. Feel like you've found your people? We'd love to hear from you! Shoot us an email at OnHiatus@MonkeyPooStudios.com – your story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear (and might temporarily distract Grant from his ongoing love affair with Ben & Jerry's).

Ben & Jerry's wollte sich im Nahostkonflikt politisch positionieren und kritisierte die israelische Besatzung des Westjordanlands. Der Mutterkonzern Unilever pfiff das Unternehmen daraufhin zurück. Nun liegt eine Klage auf dem Tisch.

Hour 4: Andy Bloom—President of Andy Bloom Communications & former Communications Director for Rep. Michael R. Turner (R-OH)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Tuesday's presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Plus, should JD Vance debate Tim Walz? Or will the debate moderators gang up on him in an attempt to help the Harris-Walz campaign? PLUS, Ben & Jerry's has announced a new ice cream flavor inspired by Vice President Kamala Harris: Kamala's Coconut Jubilee.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin present their post post debate analysis and yes, they will be endorsing Kamala Harris for president! They aren't the only ones.  Liz Cheney, and her father — DICK! are favoring Harris, along with former AG and White House Counsel, Alberto Gonzales — DICK! On the other hand, Kamala has support from Taylor Swift and Linda Ronstadt (No word yet on the coveted Rex Smith vote) There's also a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor. Yep, looks like Kamala might have this popular vote thing locked up. Meanwhile, Haitians stealing ducks is the new Blacks stealing chickens, a trope that hasn't really evolved much over the last couple of hundred years, has it? And why should it? Plenty of potential voters yearn for that good old-fashioned anti-American bigoted conspiratorial propaganda. It isn't that Donald Trump no longer knows how to talk to anyone outside his base… it is that he doesn't need to. Trump wasn't joking, he just wants to find those 11,780 votes. Why waste his time and hundreds of millions of dollars trying to influence tens of millions of TikTok zombies, when only a few million bucks of rural doorknockers can move a few thousand nonvoters into an electoral victory? Stephen Miller makes a lot more sense now (relatively speaking), as well as Laura Loomer, who rightfully horrifies Marjorie Taylor Greene as Marge is guaranteed to be the first up against the wall once the new regime commences. And yet we few remaining TV watchers pray that the fact-checkers and undecided voter panels get the job done... C'mon Swifties!

Lola came up with a new idea for an episode, her and Ryan interview each other with surprise questions for the other. Neither of us knew the questions ahead of time, so the conversations they spark are a mix of informative and silly. Enjoy as we talk about piercing techniques, our least favorite things, and the days of piercing past. Oh, and Lola would like you to know that she came up with an ice cream flavor that Ben + Jerry's can name after her, Pierce-stacchio. Ryan has a new video showcasing two navel variations, one is a forward facing navel, and one is a floating navel. Watch it on-demand along with dozens of other piercing videos at www.patreon.com/ryanpba.

Plus, testing ramps up for a potentially deadly mosquito-borne virus, a new COVID booster vaccine will soon be available in Vermont, the Ben & Jerry's Foundation says it mistakenly donated money to an anti-abortion group, a Vermont-based think tank describes its plans to dramatically increase the state population over the next 11 years, and the Department of Corrections pilots a new strategy to increase court attendance and reduce recidivism. And we bring back--in a slightly altered form--the sports report.

Not a lot of lawyers can say that they helped create a whole new legal field, but William Shernoff can. On this week's episode, Ralph welcomes trailblazing attorney William Shernoff to discuss predatory insurance practices, and how consumers can protect themselves. This special episode was co-presented by The American Museum of Tort Law, and was recorded in front of a live virtual audience.William Shernoff is the founding partner of Shernoff Bidart Echeverria, a law firm specializing in insurance bad faith litigation. A longtime consumer advocate, he has made a career of representing insurance consumers in their cases against insurance companies. Often called the “father” of bad faith insurance law, in 1979, Mr. Shernoff persuaded the California Supreme Court to establish new case law that permits plaintiffs to sue insurance companies for bad faith seeking both compensatory and punitive damages when they unreasonably handle a policyholder's claim (Egan v. Mutual of Omaha).A frequent lecturer and writer, Mr. Shernoff co-authored the legal textbook, Insurance Bad Faith Litigation, which has become the field's definitive treatise, as well as How to Make Insurance Companies Pay Your Claims . . . . And What To Do If They Don't, Fight Back and Win – And How To Make Your HMO Pay Up, and Payment Refused. Under bad faith law in California and in most states, you not only could get the benefits you deserve under the insurance policy—whether it be life insurance or disability insurance or health insurance. But you can also get damages over and above the policy limits, which are emotional distress damages…Not only can you get the emotional distress damages, but any aggravation of your medical condition. And then punitive damages are on top of that. And attorney's fees are on top of that. So all of these damages are coming from insurance bad faith if the insurance bad faith law applies. And punitive damages are designed to punish the insurance company so that they correct their wrongful conduct in the future, and deter them from unfair claims practices. William ShernoffMost people, if they get a letter from an insurance company—which they consider to be an authoritative source— and the insurance company says, “Your claim is denied because…” and then they cite all kinds of fine print in the insurance policy, most people accept that and don't do anything. They don't see a lawyer. They just accept what their insurance company told them because it sounded quite official to them.William ShernoffInsurance regulation is state-controlled. The federal government has been blocked for decades and the Congress has imposed itself on the federal Federal Trade Commission and said that they can't even investigate the insurance companies without being allowed to by a committee in the House or the Senate that has jurisdiction over such matters. So the privileges of the insurance lobby are quite extraordinary even by comparison with other corporate lobbies.Ralph Nader More people should know about bad-faith cases rights—and use them. And not take whatever is dealt to them by insurance companies—denials, rescission of insurance policies, refusing to renew, other delays, or other crazy obstructions. Learn about your rights.Ralph Nader In Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 3/27/241. CNN reports the United Nations Security Council has passed a Gaza ceasefire resolution. The resolution itself is imperfect, calling only for a ceasefire during the month of Ramadan, but this watered down language paved the way for the United States to allow the resolution to pass. The U.S. has vetoed every previous ceasefire resolution before the Security Council and disputes the extent to which this resolution is legally binding. For its part, Israel's Foreign Minister stated unequivocally that Israel “will not cease fire,” per CNN.2. Following the passage of the Security Council resolution, Prime Minister Netanyahu canceled a planned high-level Israeli delegation visit to Washington, per CNBC. The planned visit, which would have included an address to Congress, was staring down scathing criticism from Congressional Progressives. Axios reports Representative Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian member of Congress and the most outspoken on the Israeli campaign of terror, said “[Netanyahu] shouldn't come to Congress, he should be sent to the Hague.”3. In another sign of the rift between the Biden Administration and Netanyahu, Haaretz reports that Congressional Democrats are sending formal warnings to the administration stating that Israel is not in compliance with U.S. laws governing the dispensation of military aid.  Joaquin Castro, a Democrat from Texas, said “Congress and [the] White House need to make clear to Israel that we will enforce US law to protect Palestinian children from starvation in Gaza.”4. Professor Jana Silverman, co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America International Committee, reports “After a totally last-minute, ad-hoc, no-budget campaign, 13.2% of voters in the Democrats Abroad primary said no to genocide in Gaza and voted Uncommitted!” This impressive performance signals that the Uncommitted electoral protest movement isn't going anywhere. The next major test for the movement will be Pennsylvania, where Uncommitted PA is aiming for at least 40,000 votes in the state's April primary, per Lancaster Online.5. In an open letter, over 100 prominent American Jews condemned AIPAC. The letter reads “We are Jewish Americans who have…come together to highlight and oppose the unprecedented and damaging role of AIPAC…in U.S. elections, especially within Democratic Party primaries. We recognize the purpose of AIPAC's interventions in electoral politics is to defeat any critics of Israeli Government policy and to support candidates who vow unwavering loyalty to Israel, thereby ensuring the United States' continuing support for all that Israel does, regardless of its violence and illegality.” Signatories include the Ralph Nader Radio Hour's own Alan Minsky, celebrated academic Judith Butler, Postal Workers Union president Mark Dimondstein, Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's, and the actor Wallace Shawn among many others. The full letter is available at USJewsOpposingAipac.org.6. Oscar winning director Jonathan Glazer continues to be the target of phony outrage by pro-Israel groups like the Anti-Defamation League. Coming to the defense of the filmmaker however are other prominent Jewish organizations, like Jewish Voice for Peace and the Auschwitz Memorial, whose director said “In his Oscar acceptance speech, Jonathan Glazer issued a universal moral warning against dehumanization,” per the Guardian. Decorated Jewish playwright Tony Kushner, a signatory on the anti-AIPAC letter, told Haaretz “There's been a concerted attempt by right wing American Jews to sort of sell the idea that American college campuses are awash with virulent antisemites – professors and students and so on. And the Jewish students are walking these campuses in terror for their lives. I think this is nonsense. I see no evidence of it.”7. Both the Gannett and McClatchy newspaper companies have announced they will no longer use AP journalism in their publications, AP reports. This is yet another indication of the dire financial straits the news business finds itself in. The AP notes “Gannett's workforce shrank 47% between 2020 and 2023 because of layoffs and attrition…The company also hasn't earned a full-year profit since 2018… Since then, it has lost $1.03 billion.”8. In Honduras, the Intercept reports “an almost-impossible-to-believe scenario: A group of libertarian investors teamed up with a former Honduran government — which was tied at the hip with narco-traffickers and came to power after a U.S.-backed military coup — in order to implement the world's most radical libertarian policy, which turned over significant portions of the country to those investors through so-called special economic zones. The Honduran public, in a backlash, ousted the narco-backed regime, and the new government repealed the libertarian legislation. The crypto investors are now using the World Bank to force Honduras to honor the narco-government's policies.” While this story has certain unique angles – crypto and narco-trafficking chief among them – the key element is actually quite familiar: international ‘free trade' regimes superseding sovereign governments. We offer Honduras solidarity against these contemporary crypto-filibusters.9. On March 11th, Congressmen Jimmy Gomez and Joaquin Castro sent a letter to the heads of the CIA and FBI demanding disclosures of surveillance efforts on Latino civil rights leaders during the 1960s and ‘70s, citing the well-documented pattern of surveillance on Black civil rights leaders during that period and the wealth of circumstantial evidence indicating that these organs of national security did the same toward prominent Latino figures such as Cesar Chavez. The following day, in a hearing before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Rep. Castro pressed CIA Director Bill Burns on the matter, and Burns committed to working with his office to bring these activities to light. We hope that further transparency will beget further transparency and that some day the complete account of the CIA and FBI's domestic surveillance programs will be a matter of public record.10. Finally, in Mississippi, CBS reports that authorities have successfully convicted all six members of a police gang calling themselves the “Goon Squad.” These six white officers plead guilty to “breaking into a home without a warrant and torturing two Black men…The assault involved beatings, the repeated use of stun guns and assaults with a sex toy before one of the victims was shot in the mouth in a mock execution.” Lawyers representing the criminal cops allege that “their clients became ensnared in a culture of corruption that was not only permitted, but encouraged by leaders within the sheriff's office.” If true, then a federal investigation – and likely more than a few exonerations of individuals victimized by this “Goon Squad” – are in order. Justice demands it.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe
