If the congressional oversight committee into Jeffrey Epstein is serious about finding the truth, then Les Wexner needs to be subpoenaed and put under oath—no excuses, no polite letters, no “he's cooperating privately” nonsense. Wexner wasn't some bystander who accidentally bumped into Epstein at a fundraiser—he bankrolled him, empowered him, and gave him access to obscene wealth and influence. For years, Epstein wasn't just Wexner's “financial adviser”—he had full power of attorney over the billionaire's empire, access to his private jets, mansions, and inner circle. Epstein even lived in one of Wexner's homes for free, the same mansion in New York where some victims later said they were assaulted. If this committee can call low-level bureaucrats and media figures, but can't drag in the man who gave Epstein the keys to his financial kingdom, then it's not a real investigation—it's a stage play.Wexner's fingerprints are all over Epstein's rise, and yet he's managed to slither through every official inquiry untouched. He has never been forced to answer, under oath, how much he knew about Epstein's activities, how much money flowed between them, and why Epstein continued to represent himself as part of the “Wexner Foundation” years after their supposed split. Multiple victims have alleged sexual encounters or trafficking ties linked to Wexner's properties. And still, the so-called oversight committee tiptoes around him like he's untouchable. If Congress is truly about justice, it's time to stop pretending the architect of Epstein's legitimacy was just another “duped billionaire.” Drag him in, swear him in, and make him answer. Anything less is another cover-up.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Missouri is one of several states where state officials are working quickly to redraw voting maps to benefit the Trump administration and congressional Republicans before the next election. Those efforts have hit multiple legal obstacles in the Show Me State, including lawsuits and a looming referendum. How these legal battles end could decide the political future of Missouri, and even the country. Erica Slater, Nannette Baker and Michael Wolff analyze those possibilities for this month's Legal Roundtable. The panel also dives into the latest developments in a lawsuit against Bayer, a new lawsuit from a victim of the 2022 CVPA school shooting against BJC Healthcare, and more.

Welcome back to Tinfoil Tales! On this episode I am joined by my guest, John Gertz. John was once the director of SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and was one of the leading people in the science community trying to discover life outside of our planet.As public interest in UFOs (or UAPs) surges, from NASA reports to Congressional hearings, the phenomena is at a boiling point. As board chair of the SETI Institute, Gertz is uniquely positioned to cut through the noise. With his forthcoming book Reinventing SETI: New Directions in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (Oxford University Press; August 2025), Gertz is challenging the scientific establishment and confronting the pop culture mythmaking that's clouding our view of what real contact could, and should, look like. It might not be what we think.https://www.amazon.com/Reinventing-SETI-Directions-Extraterrestrial-Intelligence/dp/0197800416/ref=sr_1_1?crid=MJCP0ALNUVWO&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.91i9WAfLHWqO4VgrLtbFd5qEgxwIX0TMLf8g2vyVZHWlR6wOlndw_-iisJ-osrtN5zZUEoZV-e5SXW2_LlAFy-i5HHgRuJRb58CQLDW0o0mHDaA4LEmwyfI2gcHSGpDx55FwmvDWMsaf9CAWkggPPSUoC7ziNP-AdUgxr7iC-DqGCJkM9d9NZEnK8bKd3yjFjQ2jhtswfjX1oMwoOy4wkDKGCBplDVaBKKjql-Pwejk.5WWwdt5u9Ljctx3t_VB-IjkZmjPvqqNTGEDNVnsKpn8&dib_tag=se&keywords=john+gertz&qid=1749069150&sprefix=john+gertz%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-1Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tinfoil-tales--6147818/support.Tinfoil Tales Podcast - Show Notes 

Why is Speaker of the Virginia House Don Scott trying to call a special session of the Virginia General Assembly? The story is that they are going to try and redistrict the Commonwealth's 11 Congressional districts. Small problem, that Constitutional Amendment that was passed in 2020 establishing first a ‘bipartisan redistricting commission' and in the event of that failing (which it did) turning redistricting over to the Virginia Supreme Court to name two special masters that would draw the districts. Virginia Delegate Tom Garret sits down with us to tell us what the long and short term agenda appears to be.

1. Christian Persecution in Nigeria Senator Cruz highlights what he describes as a massive and underreported crisis involving the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Key points include: Over 50,000 Christians killed since 2009. 18,000 churches and 2,000 schools burned, allegedly by extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS in West Africa. Accusations that some Nigerian government officials are complicit or negligent in addressing the violence. Cruz has introduced legislation to designate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” and impose sanctions on individual officials involved in or ignoring the persecution. He criticizes the mainstream media for failing to cover the issue adequately. Public figures like Bill Maher and Van Jones are cited as supporting the claim that this is a planned genocide and that media silence is a moral failure. 2. Christian Persecution in China This section shifts to a similar story: The Chinese Communist Party’s crackdown on Christianity, particularly targeting Pastor Jin Mingri and the Zion Church. Cruz introduced a bipartisan resolution with Senator Chris Coons condemning China’s actions and urging the release of imprisoned pastors. He emphasizes the need for economic and diplomatic pressure, especially with President Trump’s upcoming meeting with President Xi Jinping. The resolution calls for respect for religious freedom and highlights China’s long-standing designation as a “Country of Particular Concern” by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. 3. DOJ Surveillance of Republican Senators Cruz discusses revelations that: The Biden DOJ and Special Counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed phone records of nine Republican senators and one House member in connection with the January 6 investigation. Cruz’s phone records were requested from AT&T, but the company refused to comply, citing constitutional protections under the Speech and Debate Clause. He frames this as political persecution and a dangerous abuse of power, likening it to Watergate. He calls for Congressional hearings and transparency to prevent future surveillance of elected officials. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

A fragile ceasefire in Gaza, the collapse of a UK spy trial, and a damning new report on China's exploitation of U.S. defense research—Chris and Matt unpack a pivotal few weeks in global politics and intelligence. They assess the Trump-brokered truce between Israel and Hamas, the role of Jared Kushner, Qatar, and Tony Blair in the deal, and why Netanyahu's legal troubles could upend it all. In London, they break down how a high-profile Chinese espionage case unraveled, exposing gaps in the Official Secrets Act and Britain's uneasy relationship with Beijing. And in Washington, Matt digs into a new Congressional report on U.S. taxpayer-funded defense research benefiting the PLA—from hypersonics, quantum computing, and AI—and the bipartisan effort to close those loopholes.

In this episode of The Curious Realm, host Christopher Jordan welcomes author and experiencer Reverend Michael JS Carter to discuss the recent fervor and hyped fear within the UFO/UAP communities regarding the arrival of Comet 3i Atlas…the 3rd interstellar object detected by the ATLAS telescope array. How has the slanted media coverage as well as the trove of fake AI generated images adversely affected the public view of the approaching object, and how can this event be used as an opportunity to open a greater conversation of understanding the divisions both political and religious within the UFO/UAP communities-at-large?

Officials confirm remains found in Stark County are those of a man who has been missing since June; Cincinnati's police chief placed on paid leave; state redistricting committee now working on new Congressional maps; Ohio high school athletes can accept payment for their name, image, and likeness.

This November, Californians are being asked to decide whether the state can redraw our congressional districts with Proposition 50.  California Democrats say Prop. 50 is their answer to pressure from President Trump on red states like Texas, which redrew its congressional maps to favor Republicans in next year's midterm elections. Opponents say it tramples on California's independent redistricting process, which voters approved more than a decade ago. This episode originally aired on Aug. 10, 2025.

By this point, the lines have been drawn and it seems as if there may be no end in sight for this government shutdown. That's not only the general consensus, that seems to be the attitude many leaders in Congress are taking as well.

Deutsche Bank's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has become one of the most glaring examples of systemic failure in modern banking oversight. Despite Epstein's 2008 sex-offense conviction and widespread public knowledge of his trafficking network, Deutsche continued to handle his accounts for years—processing millions in transactions that should have triggered Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) under anti–money laundering laws. Regulators later discovered that Epstein moved funds through dozens of entities, wiring large payments to women and alleged co-conspirators described in memo lines as “school payments” or “consulting fees.” Rather than flagging these for review, compliance officers reportedly waved them through. In 2020, the New York Department of Financial Services fined Deutsche Bank $150 million for what it called “significant failures in monitoring Epstein's transactions and relationships.” The investigation showed the bank maintained Epstein's accounts even after multiple internal warnings and public reports about his predatory history.The fallout didn't end there. In 2023, Deutsche Bank agreed to pay $75 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by Epstein's victims, who alleged the bank knowingly profited from his trafficking enterprise. The lawsuit claimed Deutsche facilitated his abuse by allowing financial flows that sustained his network of recruiters, victims, and offshore shell companies. While the bank publicly stated it regretted its “association” with Epstein and pledged to tighten controls, critics argue its conduct went beyond negligence—it was willful blindness. Congressional oversight committees later revealed that Deutsche had processed over $1.5 billion in transactions linked to Epstein and his associates without timely SAR filings. To many observers, the episode epitomized how global banks too often treat the ultra-rich as untouchable, turning compliance into performance rather than protection.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

1. Middle East Peace Agreement & U.S. Foreign Policy The discussion opens with praise for Donald Trump’s foreign policy—his “peace through strength” approach ended a two-year war, freed hostages, and prevented global instability. Trump is decisive and feared by America’s enemies (Iran, Hamas, China, Russia), contrasting with Biden, whom they describe as “weak and appeasing.” Historical examples (ISIS defeat, strikes on Iranian targets, anti-Houthi and anti-Venezuelan actions) are cited as evidence of Trump’s assertive leadership. 2. Government Shutdown The conversation blames Democrats—specifically Senator Chuck Schumer—for the “Schumer Shutdown.” The speakers argue Republicans are trying to reopen the government, while Democrats obstruct funding. They highlight political theater surrounding an upcoming rally (“No King’s Rally”) and accuse Democrats of prioritizing political optics over public service. There’s commentary on Congressional pay during shutdowns, with a contrast drawn between Cruz “refusing his paycheck” and Democrats “continuing to collect theirs.” 3. Charlie Kirk’s Death & Legacy This section memorializes Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, fictionalized here as assassinated and posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Trump. We explore Christian forgiveness, with Kirk’s widow, Erica, forgiving Kirk's killer during the televised service. The narrative blends religious devotion, martyrdom, and political faith, presenting Kirk as a “martyr for truth and freedom,” comparable to figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Lincoln, and Saint Peter. Trump’s and Erica’s differing views on “loving one’s enemies” are discussed as a theological and moral moment. 4. Interview with Eric Trump The final part is a conversation with Eric Trump, discussing: Legal battles faced by the Trump family (naming prosecutors like Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, and Jack Smith). Financial strain (“$400 million defending ourselves against nonsense”). Perceived bias and corruption in the justice system. We then shift to personal reflections on Donald Trump as a father: Emphasis on discipline, hard work, no substance use, and humility despite wealth. Advice for parents: “Keep them poor, make them work early.” The conversation ends on a note of familial pride and loyalty. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Congressional Action Needed for Voting Rights Act Reform Richard Epstein Richard Epstein discusses the Supreme Court arguments concerning the Voting Rights Act of 1965 being used for racial gerrymandering. Epstein argues the issue requires comprehensive legislative reform, not piecemeal court action. He suggests Congress should repeal the 1965 Act and start over with a system that reflects contemporary thinking, although he notes there is no congressional appetite for compromise. 1884 SCOTUS

Steven Robinson, Editor-in-Chief of the Maine Wire, leads New England's fastest-growing digital media outlet focused on exposing political corruption and organized crime across local, state, and regional levels. A native of Dexter, Maine, and Bowdoin College graduate in political philosophy, he previously worked at Regnery Publishing, produced the Howie Carr Show, and handled Barstool Sports' Kirk Minihane Show and true-crime podcast The Case, which spurred murder charges per season. During COVID-19, he quit his job to travel 35,000 miles across North America in a camper van before returning to Maine in November 2022 to revitalize the Maine Wire as an aggressive, independent platform for underreported stories, bold investigations, and commentary. Robinson's groundbreaking "Triad Weed" series, launched in August 2023 after a leaked DHS memo revealed over 270 illicit cannabis operations by Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations in Maine, uncovered a vast Chinese mafia network spanning Maine to southeast China. His reporting exposed racketeering involving black-market cannabis, human and sex trafficking, money laundering, bank fraud, illegal border crossings, neurotoxins poisoning homes, murder, and national security threats—including CCP-linked properties near U.S. Army facilities. He provided exclusive details on the exploitation of U.S. Treasury–subsidized loans that allowed foreign nationals to purchase over 70 properties.. Cited in Congressional reports and featured on CBS, Fox News, the Daily Mail, OANN, and more, Robinson's work has led to over 60 articles, property raids, arrests, Sen. Susan Collins' interrogations of intel agencies, and the documentary Triad Weed: How Chinese Mafia Infiltrated Maine. Local police praise it as a field manual, though Maine media avoids the story.
