Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
One month after 18-year-old Anna Kepner was found dead on the Carnival Horizon, the case has exploded into public view — not because the FBI has announced charges, but because her own family is now exposing details that paint an increasingly disturbing picture of what happened inside that cabin. In a December 5th custody hearing in Brevard County, Anna's older stepbrother testified under oath that their stepfather, Christopher Kepner, once put him in a chokehold during a custody dispute — the same type of bar hold that killed Anna. That testimony, delivered while the FBI is investigating a homicide involving the identical technique, immediately raised questions about where a 16-year-old could have learned a neck restraint that takes minutes to execute. This episode breaks down everything emerging from court: the skipped psychiatric medications in the days before Anna's death, the suspect's hospitalization after the ship docked, the parents moving him to an undisclosed location because they feared he was too dangerous to be around other children, and the family fracturing into public accusations. The grandmother says security footage shows only the stepbrother entering and exiting the cabin. Anna's father told People magazine he wants his stepson to “face the consequences.” Then retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to dissect the behavioral complexity surrounding concealment — Anna hidden under a bed, wrapped and placed out of sight. Robin explains why concealment by juveniles doesn't automatically equal malice; panic, dissociation, and shock can drive catastrophic decisions. We look at shifting statements, trauma responses, family chaos, and what investigators prioritize next: timelines, nonverbal cues, consistency, and the autopsy. No one has been charged. But the family has drawn its own conclusions — loudly and publicly. More testimony comes December 17th. We'll stay on it. #AnnaKepner #CarnivalCruise #CruiseShipInvestigation #TrueCrimeNews #RobinDreeke #BehavioralAnalysis #JuvenileCases #FamilyDynamics #CrimeInvestigation #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this special Lipps Service episode, Scott Lipps sits down with Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy for an in-depth conversation before the band's show at the Silver Lining Lounge in NYC. Travie takes listeners on a journey through his roots in Geneva, NY, his earliest musical memories, and the hardcore scene that shaped him. He opens up about everything from the formation of Gym Class Heroes and their early DIY days to their breakout Fueled By Ramen era, the creation of Papercut Chronicles, and hits like “Cupid's Chokehold” and “Clothes Off!”. The discussion dives into collaborations, genre-blending, and the highs and lows of his career, including dark periods, reinvention, and working with icons like T-Pain, Bruno Mars, and Benny Blanco. Travie also gives insight into his new record and his artistic life beyond music. A candid and inspiring conversation you won't want to miss.
You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 11, 2025. 0:30 Today we take a look at yet another glaring example of two-tier justice in America — after a federal grand jury in Virginia declined, for the second time, to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on mortgage fraud allegations. We walk through how James built her entire political brand on accusing Donald Trump and his family of fraud, running explicitly on the promise to “get Trump.” But when she herself is accused of misrepresenting property information to secure financial benefits, the legal system suddenly hesitates. Standards soften. Intent becomes “unclear.” Evidence is “open to interpretation.” 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Bureau of Labor Statistics release a report this week saying that for the fifth straight month, increases in wages have outpaced inflation. The House of Representatives passed the Defense Authorization Act. The court fight over Illegal alien and alleged human trafficker Kilmar Abrego-Garcia continues. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Meta is now claiming its “enforcement mistakes” have dropped by 90% — a number the hosts say tells you everything you need to know about what was really happening before. After scrapping third-party fact checkers and the COVID-era censorship apparatus, Meta suddenly says it’s doing better. But were these simple “mistakes" or intentional acts of censorship, carried out under pressure from the Biden administration, where true information was labeled misinformation and users were silenced on purpose? Call it enforcement if you want — just don’t call it accidental. 15:30 American Mamas Teri Nettervile and Kimberly Burelson tackle a question that hits a cultural nerve: should a woman ever propose to a man — especially if he hasn’t done it himself? Using a viral video of a woman proposing after 14 years of dating as the jumping-off point, the conversation turns blunt, emotional, and unapologetically traditional. Their take is clear: if a man hasn’t proposed after years together, it’s not hesitation — it’s a decision. They argue that public proposals by women often flip natural dynamics, leaving the woman looking desperate and the man embarrassed, and point out that nearly every example online shows visible discomfort rather than romance. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 22:30 AOC brands herself as the champion of the working class — railing against capitalism, wealth, and privilege — but new campaign spending tells a different story. Records show tens of thousands of donor dollars spent in Puerto Rico on luxury venues and high-end accommodations, all framed as “social justice.” 26:00 We break down the strategic showdown unfolding in the Caribbean — and it’s not an invasion, it’s pressure. Despite media speculation about war with Venezuela, Trump is doing the opposite of Iraq-style nation-building, opting instead for maximum force short of boots on the ground. From drug boats being seized and destroyed on the high seas to a sanctioned Venezuelan oil tanker taken by U.S. forces, this is a deliberate chokehold on Maduro’s funding streams. Drug trafficking, illegal oil shipments, shadow fleets — all of it bankrolls a corrupt regime propped up by repression and bribes. Cut the money, and the regime collapses from the inside. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We revisit a once-dominant figure in late-night television and argue that David Letterman’s legacy has curdled with age. Wewalk through his cultural importance — the post-Carson era, the Letterman-Leno wars, and how an entire generation grew up on his humor — before contrasting that version of Letterman with the man who recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel. 35:30 We zeroe in on Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s Senate run in Texas and what we see as a self-inflicted implosion. Wewith her on-air claim that Democrats don’t incite violence — daring anyone to find clips proving otherwise — and argue she dramatically underestimated how easy that challenge would be. Enter the RNC, which responds with a rapid-fire montage of prominent Democrats using explicitly violent rhetoric, from calls for unrest in the streets to threats of physical harm. It's a brutal receipts moment, made worse when the compilation turns back on Crockett herself, highlighting multiple clips of her talking about punching opponents, knocking people out, and “beating you down.” 39:30 Gavin Newsom released an AI-generated video depicting President Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and senior White House official Stephen Miller in handcuffs under the caption “It’s cuffing season.” This isn’t satire or clever political mockery — it’s outright disrespect from a sitting governor toward the commander in chief, with no explanation of what crime is supposedly being implied. And we're saying, "Whoa." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
One month after 18-year-old Anna Kepner was found dead on the Carnival Horizon cruise ship, her family is tearing itself apart in court — and the details emerging are devastating. Anna died from a bar hold. An arm across the throat. Two bruises on her neck. A technique that takes minutes to execute. So where does a 16-year-old learn something like that? In a December 5th custody hearing in Brevard County, Florida, we may have gotten the answer. Andrew Hudson — the 18-year-old older brother of the suspect — took the witness stand and testified that his stepfather Christopher Kepner once put him in a chokehold during a custody dispute. Held him against the car seat when he tried to leave. That's sworn testimony. Under oath. In a courthouse where the FBI is investigating a homicide committed by the same method. This video breaks down everything that came out of that hearing: the chokehold testimony, the suspect's psychiatric medication he skipped for two days before Anna's death, his immediate hospitalization after the ship docked, and why his own parents moved him to an undisclosed location because they decided he was too dangerous to live with the other children. Anna's father Christopher Kepner has now spoken publicly, telling People magazine he wants his stepson to "face the consequences." The grandmother confirmed security footage shows the stepbrother was the only one seen entering and exiting the cabin. And the older brother's testimony puts a pattern of physical violence in that household on the official record. The FBI hasn't charged anyone. But the family has already made their judgments clear. New court date: December 17th. More testimony expected. I'll stay on this. #AnnaKepner #CarnivalCruise #CarnivalHorizon #TrueCrime #CruiseShipDeath #FBIInvestigation #BreakingNews #TrueCrimeNews #JusticeForAnna #CruiseShipMurder Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this video, we explore how China's dominance in rare earth elements has become a powerful geopolitical tool—and why the United States is struggling to catch up. From the Mountain Pass mine in California to Apple's $500 million recycling push, we unpack the strategic importance of rare earths in everything from electric vehicles and smartphones to fiber optics and missile systems.We also look at the recent Trump–Xi summit, the temporary truce on export controls, and the deeper tensions that remain unresolved. Why are rare earths so hard to substitute? How does China's export licensing regime work? And what happens if the U.S. gets cut off?Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle
1. 稀土提煉的地理考量與中國的產業鏈優勢* 稀土礦藏在世界各地都有,但提煉鮮有人做。* 提煉稀土的過程需要使用極具腐蝕性的酸性溶解劑,對環境影響大,難以處理。因此,中國將這個重污染的工業集中在人口密度較低的內蒙包頭(靠近蒙古),而非杭州或深圳等大城市。* 中國在組裝生產上擁有優勢,其整個供應鏈整合得非常好,這也是中國成為世界工廠的原因之一。2. 稀土的經濟價值並非如外界想像般高昂* 儘管媒體常說稀土非常重要(用於手機等電子產品),但在經濟學角度來看,稀土的價格並不昂貴。* 例如,用於製造強力磁石(如釹鐵硼磁鐵)的主要稀土元素釹(Neodymium),每公斤僅售80美元。* 稀土價格低廉,一個主要原因是需求量並非巨大,日常器具和微型機械對稀土元素的需求並非海量。* 美國在2024年進口的稀土總值僅為1.7億美元,而同年進口牛油果的貨值是稀土的20倍。3. 中國對稀土供應的控制在於「短期不可替代性」* 稀土在地緣政治上的關鍵性,不在於它不能夠替代,而在於不能短期替代。悲觀估計,找到替代方案至少需要十年時間。* 最難找到替代品的是兩種重稀土:鏑(Dysprosium)和鋱(Terbium) 。這兩種元素主要用於製造耐熱磁石,應用於電動車和導彈導航系統,如陀螺儀(Gyroscope)。4. 西方國家已在尋求替代方案與提高稀土價格* 美國過去曾是稀土生產大國(1980年代前),但因環境污染問題(如酸性溶解液洩漏)導致加州的 Mountain Pass 礦場公司停止營運。* 面對中國的控制,美國國防部給予MP公司4億美元的10年合約,要求其重新開始供應。* 七大工業國(G7)正在討論對稀土採購設定最低價格,目的是鼓勵投資以提高生產動機,解決稀土價格太低的問題。* 在技術層面,日本在2010年因釣魚臺(尖閣群島)爭議被限制出口後,開始研發不需稀土的高性能磁石,現在日本的電動車在一定程度上已不依賴稀土。歐洲的BMW等公司也有不需稀土的高性能摩打新設計。5. 中國的「掐喉策略」(Chokehold)更像是經濟與政治的「擠牙膏式供應」* 中國的策略目標是抓住你的脖子,而不是抓爆你。如果「抓得太大力」,會加速被抓者的反抗,即加快替代產品的開發。* 一旦替代產品成功開發並大規模生產,其邊際成本(marginal cost)會很低,容易導致價格競爭,屆時稀土將不再是「掐喉」的工具。* 中國更有可能採取擠牙膏式行銷或飢餓式行銷的供應模式。這種有時鬆有時緊的供應,會讓外國無法全程投入開發替代技術,同時也可能透過出口許可證制度(licensing regime)衍生官僚程序,讓中間人或制度內的既得利益者獲利,達成政治和經濟上的一箭雙鵰。 This is a public episode.

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice preview our upcoming 2025 autumn mainstage Munk Debate on the Two-State Solution taking place on December 3rd in Toronto. What can we expect from the team of Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni, who believe Israel's future depends on pursuing two states for two peoples? Can the team of Ayelet Shaked and Micheal Oren make a compelling case that it is in Israel's best interest not to pursue this path? Rudyard explains how and why we landed on this debate and these speakers. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn to Chinese-American relations following Trump's trade meeting this week with Xi Jinping. The US backed down on a range of tariff threats and most importantly on high tech exports to China. Why did Trump agree to this? There is a codependency between these two superpowers that will only break when either China is able to manufacture advanced AI chips or the US breaks China's monopoly on critical rare earth minerals. Does Trump have the patience and resolve to stay the course? And how should Canada pursue its own trade relationship with China in order to protect our interests and specifically the struggling auto sector? To support the Friday Focus podcast consider becoming a donor to the Munk Debates for as little as $25 annually, or $.50 per episode. Canadian donors receive a charitable tax receipt. This podcast is a project of the Munk Debates, a Canadian charitable organization dedicated to fostering civil and substantive public dialogue. More information at www.munkdebates.com.
This week on One Decision, hosts Christina Ruffini and former MI6 Chief Sir Richard Dearlove are joined by Liza Tobin, former China Director at the National Security Council under both the Biden and Trump administrations. They discuss China's takeover of the rare earth mineral market and whether America and its allies are too far behind when it comes to reducing reliance on Beijing's critical resources. They also examine the impact of the West's influence on semiconductor production and what the upcoming meeting between President Donald Trump and Xi Jinping could mean for the U.S.'s dependence on Chinese rare earth elements Episode produced by Situation Room Studios.

As Trump's tariffs kick in, the Republican party is suddenly spouting anti-consumerist rhetoric that would make the Lorax smile. Should we cheer on this accidental experiment in economic shrinkage, or will this ham-fisted set of trade policies cause a backlash against the proponents of degrowth? As political confusion reigns, we offer eco-localism as the no-regrets way to build community resilience in the face of unprecedented ineptitude that probably won't go away anytime soon.

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade.

The Trumpian inversion of reality was threaded into so many areas of the law and active litigation this week. Slate senior writer Mark Joseph Stern joins Dahlia Lithwick to discuss the apparent evaporation of judicial patience for Trump lawyers simultaneously claiming that a signal chat was not classified or subject to record preservation rules, AND the flights to El Salvador that were filmed for posterity on arrival at a prison were in fact state secrets. Together, they also think through the likelihood of the Supreme Court stepping into the Alien Enemies Act case at this early stage by just taking the Trump administration at its word that those summary renditions were totally legal and constitutionally correct. Next, Dahlia Lithwick talks to Wendy Weiser, vice president for democracy at the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law School, about another Trumpian inversion of reality: his executive order titled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections”, which in fact is not about election integrity, but instead an extension of the Big Lie election theory that could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters.

Who is your neighbor, and what does it really mean to love them? Guest speaker JT Riley from Local Point Church in North Carolina unpacks Luke 10:25-37, where Jesus challenges us to move beyond self-preservation and take real action. Loving others means putting them first, showing mercy, being hospitable, and living generously. So, who is the Holy Spirit putting on your heart right now? Will you obey, or will you walk away? And what's your next step in receiving the love of Jesus?

In this episode of the FBU Podcast, Vince sits down with Dr. Wood, founder of the Inspired Performance Institute, to discuss how unresolved trauma impacts performance, business success, and overall well-being. Dr. Wood explains how trauma—both major and minor emotional concussions—creates inflammation, disrupts the nervous system, and holds people back from reaching their true potential. He shares groundbreaking insights on how rewiring the brain can help business owners, athletes, and high performers break through self-imposed limitations. Using real-life case studies, including professional athletes and entrepreneurs, Dr. Wood demonstrates how his methods have led to record-breaking performances and financial success. Top 5 Key Points Discussed:The Hidden Impact of Trauma on PerformanceTrauma, even in subtle forms like childhood criticism or self-doubt, keeps the brain in a fight-or-flight state. This unresolved stress affects decision-making, business success, and physical health.Brainwave Optimization for High PerformanceDr. Wood explains the four brainwave states—Beta (high stress), Alpha (relaxed focus), Theta (processing state), and Delta (deep recovery). Rewiring the brain to operate in Alpha can unlock peak performance in business and athletics.The Mind-Body Connection in Business and FitnessMany gym owners and personal trainers unknowingly mask their own trauma through physical training. Dr. Wood emphasizes how trauma resolution can lead to better business decisions, improved client results, and personal breakthroughs.Real-Life Transformations Through Trauma WorkStories include a marathon runner breaking world records post-treatment, a high-level banker overcoming financial self-sabotage, and Dr. Wood's own daughter eliminating autoimmune diseases after addressing childhood trauma.Breaking Limiting Beliefs to Unlock the Next Level of SuccessEntrepreneurs often hit ceilings due to deep-seated fears and limiting beliefs from past experiences. Addressing these mental roadblocks allows for business growth, financial success, and personal fulfillment.
