As New Yorkers know, scaffolding has become a serious scourge on our streets. What began as a safety measure has now done the opposite and helped to breed crime. But thanks to a recent legislative effort by New York City Council Member Keith Powers, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, scaffolding regulations have been reformed for the better, and New Yorkers can expect a lot less in their neighborhoods in the coming years.

We take it for granted that through language and communication we can learn about the experience of others. But it remains unknown whether we can fully know what it is like to be another human being. James Baldwin and Jean-Paul Sartre take radically different approaches. For Sartre, the experience of others is unknown to us. Fundamentally, we are alone with our own subjectivity. While for Baldwin, "to encounter oneself is to encounter the other; and this is love". Summing up his disagreement with Sartre he remarked: "it has always seemed to me that ideas were somewhat more real to him than people.”Was Baldwin right that to be alive is to be socially connected to others? Or is Sartre's insight that the only thing we can know is our own experience more telling? Should we conclude that we cannot understand the experience of another unless we have had the same experience? Or is language capable of bridging the seemingly impossible gap between us?

The Trump administration is making a mockery of a well-designed system the U.S. government has long employed for naming important places for historical figures. The latest example: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's too-clever-by-half move to rename North Carolina's Fort Liberty Army base as Fort Bragg. The name was changed from Bragg to Liberty just […]
Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch podcast, where they break down President Trump's ultimatum to Hamas, the return of Fort Bragg's name in a clever way, and alarming reports of FBI figures allegedly tipping off illegal immigrants about ICE raids.First, President Trump is issuing a stern warning to Hamas, saying that hell will be unleashed if all hostages are not released by Saturday. His ultimatum comes as Hamas pauses its release of hostages, claiming Israel has violated the terms of the ceasefire. Jim believes Trump's anger over the condition of released hostages is evident, and they both think the vague nature of Trump's threat is a smart way to put pressure on the terrorists.Next, Jim and Greg applaud Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's decision to rename Fort Liberty in North Carolina back to Fort Bragg. The name had been familiar to many, and this change not only ends the confusion but also shifts the honor to a different individual named Bragg—a U.S. Army PFC who heroically fought at the Battle of the Bulge, rather than the Confederate general.Finally, they react to disturbing allegations that some FBI figures and other government sources are tipping off illegal immigrants about pending ICE raids aimed at removing criminals and others who are in the U.S. illegally. Jim says anyone who has a problem with the policy needs to resign or ask for a transfer. And anyone who deliberately undermines it should face stiff penalties.Please visit our great sponsors:Oraclehttps://Oracle.com/MARTINICut your current Cloud bill in half if you move to OCI.

Reports of the New Orleans and Las Vegas ‘attacks' have been, as always, convoluted, misrepresented, and inconsistent - from the number of dead to the actual perpetuator or perpetuators. The most outstanding details of these two cases are that the reportedly guilty were both stationed at Fort Bragg, the same military base where the presidential assassin Ryan Routh visited and spent the night, and the same place the Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh was assessed. Couple this with the fact we are watching the 911 playbook unfold again, with Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, the supposed American soldier, being labeled an Islamic extremist who had a Quran in his house with a workbench and prayer rug, and a really conveniently placed ISIS flag on his truck - this is after having been called an illegal immigrant. Turns out his alternative name is Eli or Sham, which is a Jewish name, not an Arab one. Likewise, the reporter Jennie Taer, who was given access to his house, is a Jewish reporter conveniently finding proof to condemn Arabs and Islam to the salivating jaws of the MIC.Once again, Israeli elements encouraging hatred of Islam and poking the American war machine to go to war with the Arab world. The most important detail, however, comes with the reports of how Shem was having dreams that helped inspire him to join ISIS. Were these actual dreams, or were they a result of the Israeli Noveto System “Sound Beaming” technology which puts sounds into your head but not into the heads of others around you. Even older technology of this sort was used for advertisements in Los Angeles via billboards. MITs Dormio project goes even further, allowing for voice prompts to influence dreams so via a sort of inception the dreamer hears and sees what the prompt programs. Perhaps Allah could speak using these systems. -FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKWEBSITEPAYPALCashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

Suspected assassin Luigi Mangione sat shackled before the New York Supreme Court, his maroon sweater, collared shirt, and orange shoes lending an almost surreal normalcy to the scene. At just 26 years old, Mangione faces accusations that would forever alter the lives of everyone involved. Charged with the December 4 murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the case against Mangione has unraveled into a spectacle of political intrigue, social commentary, and legal complexities—a reflection of a fractured system and the unpredictable nature of public reaction. The courtroom was tense as Mangione leaned toward the microphone, chains clinking faintly against the table, to utter his plea: not guilty. It was a single moment, yet one weighted with significance. For prosecutors, it marked the formal beginning of a case they've described as “a frightening, well-planned, targeted murder”—a crime intended to terrorize. For Mangione's defense, it was a critical pivot in their strategy, one complicated by the unusual dual tracks of state and federal charges. A Crime That Shocked the Nation On a cold December morning, Brian Thompson was walking toward an investor conference in midtown Manhattan, a routine step in his high-powered career. Then came the sound of gunfire. Witnesses reported seeing a man fleeing the scene, leaving behind a chilling clue: bullet casings inscribed with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.” The messages were unmistakable—a direct nod to the controversial practices of the health insurance industry. Police arrived within minutes, but the shooter had vanished into the city. Thompson's murder sent shockwaves through corporate America. His role as CEO of UnitedHealthcare made him a symbol of the very industry criticized for prioritizing profit over people. The crime scene, with its cryptic clues, hinted at a killer with a calculated message. Within hours, law enforcement agencies were working together to track down the suspect. Five days later, Mangione was arrested in a Pennsylvania McDonald's. Police found a gun matching the ballistics from the scene and a fake ID in his possession. Also seized was a notebook expressing deep hostility toward the health insurance industry, particularly its executives. Legal Maze: Dual Prosecutions Mangione now faces parallel prosecutions. In state court, the Manhattan district attorney charged him with multiple counts of murder, including murder as an act of terrorism. At a press conference announcing the charges, DA Alvin Bragg emphasized the calculated nature of the crime, calling it a “killing intended to evoke terror.” The federal charges, on the other hand, include terrorism-related offenses that could lead to the death penalty if Mangione is convicted. Legal experts have noted the rarity of such simultaneous cases, with some criticizing the potential for conflicting strategies. Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Mangione's defense attorney, has not minced words. During a federal hearing, she described the dual prosecutions as “very confusing” and “highly unusual.” The federal charges, she argued, could undermine Mangione's ability to mount a coherent defense in the state trial, which is expected to proceed first. “We're navigating uncharted waters,” she said. A Divided Public Reaction While prosecutors argue Mangione's actions were nothing short of domestic terrorism, public opinion has proven far more divided. Demonstrators gathered outside the courthouse during Mangione's arraignment, clutching signs that ranged from “Justice for Thompson” to “Free Mangione.” The latter group, a vocal minority, has cast Mangione as a vigilante hero, claiming his alleged actions were a dramatic—if extreme—response to perceived corruption in the healthcare industry. Social media has amplified this polarization. Hashtags like #MangioneTheMartyr and #HealthcareJustice have trended alongside condemnations of the crime. Some supporters have even gone so far as to fundraise for Mangione's legal defense. They point to the bullet casings and notebook as evidence of a broader political statement, rather than an act of senseless violence. Not all of Mangione's supporters are focused on his alleged motives. Some have fixated on his appearance, dubbing him the “handsome assassin.” This bizarre twist has only added to the media frenzy surrounding the case, with tabloid headlines oscillating between serious analysis and absurd fascination. The Evidence Piles Up The prosecution's case appears formidable. Ballistics tests have matched the gun found on Mangione to the weapon used in Thompson's murder. The notebook seized during his arrest contains detailed grievances against the health insurance industry, as well as chilling references to “making an example” of wealthy executives. Prosecutors argue these details demonstrate premeditation. DA Bragg has leaned heavily on the terrorism charges, framing the murder as an attack designed to intimidate a broader audience. “This wasn't just about Brian Thompson,” Bragg said. “This was about sending a message.” Yet Mangione's defense team has pushed back, questioning the integrity of the investigation. They have raised concerns about potential bias in the handling of evidence and have hinted at exploring Mangione's mental state as a factor in their defense. Agnifilo has also criticized the public framing of the case, arguing that the media's portrayal of her client has made a fair trial nearly impossible. A Broader Conversation Thompson's murder has reignited scrutiny of the health insurance industry, bringing books like Jay M. Feinman's “Delay, Deny, Defend” back into the public discourse. Feinman's work, which critiques the industry's alleged tactics of avoiding payouts, has been cited as eerily similar to the inscriptions found on the bullet casings. While there is no direct evidence linking Mangione to Feinman's book, the parallels have not gone unnoticed. The case has also prompted discussions about the role of terrorism charges in domestic crimes. Critics argue that labeling Mangione's actions as terrorism risks conflating political dissent with violent extremism. Others counter that the label is appropriate given the calculated nature of the crime and its intent to intimidate. What Comes Next? The state trial is expected to begin within months, with the federal case likely to follow. As the legal process unfolds, the public will be watching closely, not just for the outcome, but for what the case reveals about broader societal tensions. Mangione's fate may hinge on whether the jury views him as a cold-blooded killer or a misguided figure acting out of desperation. Either way, the trial promises to be a defining moment in the intersection of justice, politics, and public perception. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Luigi Mangione, accused of the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has been extradited to New York, where he faces charges of first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism and additional counts of second-degree murder and weapons violations. Arrested on December 9 in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Mangione was transferred to New York on Thursday after waiving extradition earlier this week. Mangione, 26, had been held in solitary confinement at the State Correctional Institution Huntingdon in Pennsylvania, where officials confirmed he had limited interaction and an austere daily routine. He ate meals alone in his cell and only left to shower. Officials did not confirm whether he ever took advantage of outdoor recreation time during his incarceration in Pennsylvania. Since his arrest, his only visitors have been his legal team, including a meeting on December 13 with his New York attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo. Mangione's extradition marks a significant development in the case, which has drawn national attention. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges that Mangione's actions were premeditated and intended to intimidate. On December 4, Mangione is accused of lying in wait for nearly an hour outside a Manhattan hotel before ambushing Thompson as he walked to work. Authorities say Mangione fired a suppressed 9mm handgun, shooting Thompson from behind in what Bragg described as a "calculated act of terrorism." Thompson, who led the largest private health insurance company in the U.S., may have been targeted due to his prominent role in the healthcare industry, according to investigators. Authorities have not ruled out federal charges against Mangione, which could escalate the legal stakes even further. However, sources close to the case have clarified that the state murder charges in New York would remain the primary focus. Friedman Agnifilo has criticized the potential for federal involvement, labeling the pursuit of additional charges as "highly unusual" and raising concerns about double jeopardy. Meanwhile, Mangione's Pennsylvania attorney, Thomas Dickey, stated that Mangione plans to plead not guilty to charges in Pennsylvania, including forgery, tampering with records, and carrying a firearm without a license. During his incarceration in Pennsylvania, Mangione garnered vocal support from some inmates. Shortly after his arrival, detainees disrupted a live NewsNation broadcast outside the prison, shouting phrases like, “Luigi's conditions suck” and “Free Luigi.” New York Governor Kathy Hochul reiterated her commitment to seeking justice following Mangione's arrival in the state, stating, “I'm ready to ensure that justice is served for Brian Thompson and his family.” Mangione was apprehended five days after the murder, identified through security footage released by the FBI and NYPD. If convicted of first-degree murder as an act of terrorism, he faces life imprisonment without parole. A standard second-degree murder conviction could result in 25 years to life. As Mangione prepares for his first court appearance in New York, legal experts anticipate a complex and highly scrutinized trial. His transfer to New York marks the beginning of the next phase of proceedings, with federal prosecutors continuing to evaluate whether additional charges will be filed.

Terror in Midtown: Luigi Mangione Indicted for UnitedHealthcare CEO's Murder Two days before Luigi Mangione was arrested in Pennsylvania, his mother, Kathleen Mangione, made a chilling statement to investigators, saying she "could see him" committing the crime. Her comments were revealed as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced an indictment charging Mangione with first-degree murder for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, which prosecutors described as an act of terrorism. Thompson, 50, was walking through Midtown Manhattan on Dec. 4 when he was gunned down in what authorities believe was a targeted attack. Police allege that Mangione, 26, approached Thompson from behind, fired multiple shots, and fled the scene, leaving shell casings with cryptic inscriptions and other evidence behind. In early December, investigators received a tip from San Francisco police linking Mangione to the crime. Surveillance footage from a hostel showed a man resembling Mangione, prompting New York police to contact his mother. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny recounted their conversation: “She didn't confirm it was her son in the photo, but she did state that it was something she could see him doing.” Kathleen Mangione had filed a missing person report for her son in November, months after he had gone out of contact with his family and friends. The day before Luigi Mangione was arrested, her statement about his potential involvement was being prepared for follow-up by detectives, but his capture in Pennsylvania preempted further inquiries. Mangione was arrested on Dec. 9 at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pa., after an observant customer recognized him and alerted staff. He was found in possession of a 9 mm ghost gun, a suppressor, and several fake IDs. Police say Mangione left behind a trail of evidence linking him to the murder, including fingerprints on shell casings, a water bottle, and a granola bar at the scene. The shell casings bore words like “deny,” “depose,” and “delay,” reflecting common criticisms of health insurance practices. Investigators also recovered a three-page manifesto in Mangione's possession, where he condemned the health insurance industry and referred to its employees as “parasites.” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg described the attack as an act of terrorism designed to instill fear. “Midtown Manhattan is the heart of New York City. This crime, committed at the start of a busy day among commuters and tourists, was intended to spread terror,” he said. Mangione, an Ivy League graduate from a prominent Maryland family, had been estranged from his loved ones for six months before his arrest. He is currently being held without bail in Pennsylvania on weapons and forgery charges while fighting extradition to New York. First-degree murder charges in New York require specific aggravating factors, such as acts of terrorism. Bragg argued that Mangione's actions meet the legal definition, citing his alleged intent to coerce a civilian population through violence. Online activity linked to Mangione suggests deep-seated grievances with the healthcare system. A Reddit account believed to belong to him described chronic health issues, including a misaligned spine and irritable bowel syndrome, and frustrations with navigating insurance claims. Efforts to contact Mangione's attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, and his cousin, Maryland politician Nino Mangione, were unsuccessful. Mangione is set to appear in court again on Dec. 19, as prosecutors continue building their case against him. #TrueCrime #NYC #Healthcare #MurderCase #Terrorism #BrianThompson #Justice Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Terror in Midtown: Luigi Mangione Indicted for UnitedHealthcare CEO's Murder Two days before Luigi Mangione was arrested in Pennsylvania, his mother, Kathleen Mangione, made a chilling statement to investigators, saying she "could see him" committing the crime. Her comments were revealed as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced an indictment charging Mangione with first-degree murder for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, which prosecutors described as an act of terrorism. Thompson, 50, was walking through Midtown Manhattan on Dec. 4 when he was gunned down in what authorities believe was a targeted attack. Police allege that Mangione, 26, approached Thompson from behind, fired multiple shots, and fled the scene, leaving shell casings with cryptic inscriptions and other evidence behind. In early December, investigators received a tip from San Francisco police linking Mangione to the crime. Surveillance footage from a hostel showed a man resembling Mangione, prompting New York police to contact his mother. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny recounted their conversation: “She didn't confirm it was her son in the photo, but she did state that it was something she could see him doing.” Kathleen Mangione had filed a missing person report for her son in November, months after he had gone out of contact with his family and friends.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they breathe a sigh of relief over the Daniel Penny verdict, condemn Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's disastrous impact on public safety, and unpack the shocking story of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's alleged killer.First, they applaud the New York City jury for acquitting Daniel Penny of criminally negligent homicide after he restrained a threatening subway passenger. Jim and Greg argue that Penny, who acted as a Good Samaritan, should never have faced charges and are relieved he won't face imprisonment for protecting others.First, they're very glad to see a New York City jury acquit Daniel Penny on a charge of criminally negligent homicide after restraining a man on the subway who had been threatening and menacing numerous passengers. Penny should never have faced charges and should have been commended for his actions, but at least he won't be incarcerated for being a Good Samaritan.Next, they criticize media outlets for badly misrepresenting the facts of the Penny case and spotlight the head of Black Lives Matter in New York City for calling for black vigilantes. Despite Penny's acquittal, they warn that Alvin Bragg's actions as district attorney discourage people from intervening to protect their neighbors, leaving New Yorkers less safe.Finally, they react to the arrest of Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League graduate accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. They discuss how the details of the case contradict widespread assumptions and condemn commentators who justify or celebrate the murder due to grievances with health insurance practices.Please visit our great sponsors:Lumenhttps://lumen.me/3MLVisit Lumen.me/3ML for 15% off your purchase.NetSuitehttps://NetSuite.com/MARTINIDownload your FREE CFO's Guide to AI and Machine Learning at NetSuite.com/MARTINIOmaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comSave 50% off sitewide during the Christmas gift buying season and be sure to use promo codeTHREE ML for an extra $30 off.
