Here are the 3 Big things you need to know this hour— Number One— The Biden push of a $10 Billion dollar make over of the US postal fleet to become all EV—is a dismal failure— $6 Billion spent—and only 250 vehicles to show for it— Number Two— Military bases in New Jersey and Indiana are among those that will soon become detention centers for illegal aliens that are about to get kicked out of the country—yes, this is what I voted for— Number Three— We will continue to destroy the entire false narrative created at the direction of former President Barack Obama—
Here are the three big things to know this hour— Number One— An off duty ICE officer was shot in the face by a violent illegal alien that should have been removed by the Biden Administration—BUT was instead—released into the country— Number Two— President Trump dropped a massive $10 Billion dollar lawsuit on the WSJ after it published an article claiming they had a birthday note—they claim he wrote to Jeffrey Epstein—let the games begin— Number Three— The Crime of the Century is playing out in front of our eyes—one political crisis after another—and all with one thing in common—they were manufactured by Democrats— who are all trying to upend the nation—in exchange for power and money—
Order Why Trump Won today: https://amazon.com/dp/B0FBS5QF4L.This episode was livestreamed on July 20, 2025.
TALK TO ME, TEXT ITEver feel like you're shouting into the void? That's where I find myself after 866 episodes, questioning whether sharing news stories serves any real purpose or just adds to the endless noise. Today I'm sharing a personal milestone decision—I'll be ending this podcast after reaching 1,000 episodes, giving us exactly 134 more days together before I sign off permanently.The stories I covered today perfectly illustrate why I'm wrestling with content creator fatigue. A man lost his life in a horrific MRI accident because he wore a 20-pound chain necklace with a padlock into the exam room during his wife's appointment. Despite previous conversations with technicians about this unusual "workout accessory," the powerful magnet pulled him in with tragic consequences. Meanwhile, New York has awarded over $600 million in taxpayer dollars to sanctuary groups actively working to undermine federal immigration laws. The Bronx Defenders alone received more than $500 million in city contracts since 2018. And in a story that proves money can't buy fidelity, an HR executive married into the Cabot family (worth an estimated $15.4 billion) was caught cheating in a very public scandal—despite only being divorced from her previous marriage in 2022.Amid these troubling headlines, I asked listeners a simple yet profound question: What instantly makes your day better? For me, it's looking at pictures of my grandson when I can't be with him in person. While prayer certainly ranks high, and disconnecting from social media offers mental relief, those family connections provide the most reliable source of joy. Perhaps that's the lesson we need most—in a world overflowing with concerning news, our simplest connections matter most. What brings you instant joy?

Welcome to the "Saturday Morning Golf Stat" from the Hack it Out Golf Podcast.

Congress is cancelling over $1 billion in pre-approved funding for public broadcasting. The funding cuts threaten local news and educational programming across Pennsylvania. Workers who rely on tips are being advised to pay attention to their taxes this year. A "no tax on tips" provision is part of the federal tax cut and spending bill recently signed into law. Workers who get voluntary tips - not service fees - may benefit from claiming both cash and credit card gratuities on their taxes. Under current law drivers in Pennsylvania are only required to display one license plate, on the rear of their vehicle. But a state lawmaker will soon introduce legislation to change that. The owner of Lancaster County hydro-electric plants at Holtwood and Safe Harbor has agreed to sell Google massive amounts of electricity generated by the Susquehanna River dams to power some Google data centers. The 20-year, $3 billion agreement is between Google and Canadian owners Brookfield Asset Management. Lancaster and Lebanon Counties are in talks for a long-term solution for hazmat services. Much is still unknown about the restoration efforts at the Governor's Residence in Harrisburg, following an April arson attack that severely damaged part of the Front Street mansion. We explore what we know—and don’t know. Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
After an all-night marathon of amendments, the U.S. Senate voted to advance President Donald Trump's $9 billion rescissions package this week. While the country's flagship HIV/AIDS initiative PEPFAR was saved during the process, the package will still claw back nearly $8 billion in previously approved funding for foreign aid. To dig into this story, and others, Senior Editor Rumbi Chakamba sits down with reporters Michael Igoe and Elissa Miolene for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.

In a historic late-night vote, Senate Republicans passed a $9.4 billion rescissions package at the urging of former President Trump—marking the first rollback of already-approved federal spending since the Clinton administration. The cuts target unspent funds, foreign aid, and public broadcasting, with NPR and USAID in the crosshairs. While critics downplay the move as a drop in the deficit bucket, conservative hosts hail it as a symbolic blow to the deep state and proof of Trump's growing influence within the GOP. The bill faces its next challenge in the House, with more cuts potentially on the way.

This week on the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital, we dive into the biggest CPG story of the year. Kraft Heinz is preparing to break itself up a decade after the infamous merger orchestrated by Warren Buffett and Brazilian private equity firm 3G Capital Partners. The company plans to spin off a large chunk of its grocery business, including many Kraft products, into a new entity valued as much as $20 billion. This would leave a separate company housing faster-growing offerings like Heinz ketchup, Grey Poupon mustard, and hot sauces that align better with consumer preferences.
In this episode of Big Shot, Harley and David sit down with Stephen Ross—real estate titan, Miami Dolphins owner, and the visionary behind Hudson Yards, CityPlace, and more—for a rare look inside his extraordinary life.From growing up in a two-family house in Detroit to transforming New York's Hudson Yards and Miami's CityPlace, Stephen's story is deeply shaped by the Jewish entrepreneurial legacy. Inspired by his grandfather, a Russian immigrant who built the largest independent oil refinery in the Midwest, and his uncle Max Fisher, a renowned businessman and philanthropist, Stephen saw early what was possible through grit, vision, and belief.He shares how getting fired set him on the path to starting his own business, why he's now building infrastructure in Palm Beach County to create South Florida's next “Silicon Valley,” and the stories behind owning the Miami Dolphins and bringing Formula 1 racing to Miami.We discuss the following: • How his grandfather built the largest independent oil refinery in the Midwest• Why getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to him• Why he believes New York is still the best place to start anything• Why he held onto CityPlace through years of losses—and how it finally paid off• His $1.5B asset sale before the 2008 crash• The infrastructure he's bringing to Palm Beach County to build a new “Silicon Valley”• Why he sold 1.5 billion worth of assets before the financial crisis of 2008• The story behind purchasing the Miami Dolphins• Why he turned down a $10B offer for the Dolphins, Hard Rock Stadium, and F1• How daily school drop-offs helped Stephen build a lasting bond with his daughters• His perspective on Jewish excellence in entrepreneurship and philanthropy• His advice for young entrepreneurs • And much more!—In This Episode We Cover:(00:00) Intro(02:47) Stephen's childhood in Detroit (05:15) Lessons and inspiration from his grandfather and uncle (17:00) Stephen's rocky start in Florida and struggles in school(22:35) How Stephen got into the University of Michigan and became a good student (27:13) How getting fired sparked his first business(34:40) Early business goals and the fundraising hurdles that led to bootstrapping(41:10) Stephen's diversification strategy (44:01) How Stephen found great people to work with (47:30) What Stephen loves about the real estate business (49:12) Why the 90s market wasn't ready for CityPlace (54:12) The story behind Hudson Yards and the Olympic stadium that fell through (57:50) Why Stephen says his latest project will be the most impactful (1:04:15) How to maintain momentum while building large projects (1:08:32) What it was like buying the Miami Dolphins (1:17:05) Why he brought F1 to Miami (1:19:25) Stephen's philanthropy and why giving back is important(1:23:40) What drives Jewish excellence in business and giving(1:26:00) How he built and maintained a relationship with his daughters(1:34:00) How he survived a tough time in the 90s (1:35:37) AI's impact on the future(1:37:10) Advice for young entrepreneurs and how he values relationships—Where To Find Big Shot: • Website: https://www.bigshot.show/• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bigshotpodcast • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bigshotshow• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bigshotshow/ • Harley Finkelstein: https://twitter.com/harleyf • David Segal: https://twitter.com/tea_maverick• Production and Marketing: https://penname.co

Governor Josh Shapiro says he wants to be sure Pennsylvania plays a key role in developing artificial intelligence, as well as providing the energy needed to support it. Speaking at an energy and A-I summit in Pittsburgh this week, Shapiro said the state's skilled workforce and natural gas reserves helped attract a $20 billion dollar investment in new data centers recently pledged by Amazon. A number of large-scale data center projects were announced across the state including a $15 billion project planned for the Carlisle area, a $6 billion project in the Lancaster area and a $5 billion project planned for York County. A nonprofit group that helps unemployed people stay in their homes is calling for state property reassessment laws to be updated. The lawsuit could affect property owners across the state. Another attempt is being made to eliminate local property taxes in Pennsylvania: This latest effort, in the form of an amendment to the state Constitution, is co-sponsored by state Senator Doug Mastriano of Franklin County. It would prohibit school districts from collecting property taxes beginning July first, 2029 and require the General Assembly to come up with another funding method for public schools. Some state lawmakers are taking another shot at legalizing adult cannabis use in Pennsylvania. Senators Daniel Laughlin and Sharif Street, as well as Representatives Emily Kinkead and Abby Major introduced bipartisan recreational cannabis bills just four days apart. Both bills incentivize minority, women and veteran-owned small businesses to open dispensaries across the state. Pennsylvania is one of 49 states sharing in a 20 million dollar settlement with drug maker Gilead Sciences. It stems from a lawsuit which accused Gilead of illegally providing financial and other incentives to medical personnel in exchange for promoting and prescribing its HIV medications. Danville-based Geisinger is eliminating nearly 100 Geisinger Health Plan positions as part of an "operational restructuring" amid financial challenges that include a $231 million operating loss last year. Four independent voters in Pennsylvania are asking the state Supreme Court to rule that the closed primary system violates the state constitution. They filed a lawsuit arguing that keeping independents out of primaries effectively denies them the right to vote in many districts where primaries determine the outcome.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- In a post to Truth Social, President Donald Trump wrote: “The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 ‘Intelligence' Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden's bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton's big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at - It's all they have - They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates. Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue. Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,' hook, line, and sinker. They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years. I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country's history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats' work, don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don't want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” 3:30pm- - Sen. Dave McCormick—United States Senator from Pennsylvania—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap yesterday's successful Energy & Innovation Summit where CEOs from some of the biggest tech companies in the country pledged to invest $92 billion in Pennsylvania, much of which will go towards energy infrastructure allowing for the domestic development of artificial intelligence. 3:45pm- While speaking to the press on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said that people claiming his administration is preventing the release of Jeffrey Epstein files are being “foolish.”

In this episode of the Govcon Giants Podcast, I sat down with none other than Frank Kendall – former Secretary of the Air Force and Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition. Y'all, this man has managed $215 BILLION budgets, launched strategic missile programs under Reagan, and shaped the future of Air and Space Forces through his modernization and AI initiatives. But what really had me leaning in? His unfiltered insights on the brand-new Golden Dome initiative, projected to cost up to $500 BILLION — and why it might already be doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. Frank dropped serious knowledge on the cycles of waste in defense acquisition, the shrinking industrial base, the risks of consolidating too many primes, and how small businesses can still break into the game by aligning with the Air Force's new operational and technical innovation offices. He didn't sugarcoat it either – calling out "acquisition magic" as a myth and warning us that political influence and rushed timelines might be driving government contracting off a cliff. If you're in the GovCon space and not listening to this, you're already behind.

In this explosive episode of the Mike Drop Podcast, former Chief Patrol Agent Chris Clem pulls no punches as he dissects the sweeping "One Big Beautiful Bill", a $170 billion border security package signed by President Trump on July 4, 2025. From Trump's campaign rally cries and hats to finalizing the funding of $46 billion for the wall, $6 billion for border technology, $4 billion for CBP agents, and billions more — Clem lays out why this isn't just a slogan anymore. It's a full-scale national security strategy aimed at repairing what he says was gutted by the Biden administration on day one. But be warned: funding ≠ fix. Chris unpacks the massive challenges ahead — building miles of border barriers, roads, and sensor networks; hiring thousands of agents; and confronting migrant surges of 15,000+ at a time — and why even this bill might be too little, too late. If you want the unfiltered truth from inside Border Patrol, the political games behind the bill, and why America's next border crisis could lead to total collapse, you can't miss this episode.
