Fr. Mike reflects on the story of Susanna's righteousness in the book of Daniel. While celebrating Susanna's virtue, Daniel's wisdom, and God's faithfulness, Fr. Mike also warns us that, like the corrupt elders in the story, we too can allow our hearts to become perverted by the things we fix our eyes on. The readings are Jeremiah 30, Daniel 12-13, and Proverbs 16:17-20. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Josiah Osgood, author of Lawless Republic, Part One: Marcus Tullius Cicero rises as a "new man" from outside Rome's traditional political elite, building an exceptional reputation in the Roman Forum. His debut felony case defends Sextus Roscius against parricide, exposing a corrupt financial conspiracy and establishing his legendary storytelling style. Cicero then transitions to prosecution to take on Gaius Verres, the deeply connected and highly corrupt governor of Sicily. Verres had systematically plundered Sicilian art and failed to defend Syracuse from pirate raids while living luxuriously. Verres flees into exile mid-trial, cementing Cicero's reputation as a daring reformer. (1)

The Tenpenny Files – Former NOAA scientist Dr. Justin Mabie describes how bureaucracy, funding pressures, data stewardship, peer review, and political influence shape climate science from inside the federal system, raising difficult questions about institutional trust, scientific integrity, and the policies built on environmental research and public data records...

Jen Psaki peels through the layers of a scheme described by a Florida grand jury in which millions of dollars were laundered through charities and ultimately ended up funding political activities. And while the grand jury was not able to identify who to indict in the matter, the people involved, with close ties to outgoing Governor Ron DeSantis, saw their careers advance. Former Rep. David Jolly, Democratic candidate for Florida governor, talks with Jen about the details of the scheme. Iowa State Rep. Josh Turek, Democratic candidate for Iowa's U.S. Senate seat, talks with Jen about a new lobbying scandal in Iowa that has involved his Republican opponent. Max Lederer and Erik Slavin, the fired publisher and editor-in-chief of Stars and Stripes, talk with Jen about their new legal effort to restore their jobs and preserve the newspaper's independence as Pete Hegseth's Pentagon seems intent on turning it into a propaganda outlet. Jen Psaki shares New York Times reporting on how Donald Trump Jr. throws his weight around as the son of a corrupt president to influence the legal circumstances of a company and an industry in which he has a financial interest. David Yaffe-Bellany, New York Times crypto industry reporter, joins to discuss his reporting. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

An enormous scandal is unfolding in Latin America, which says everything about politics in the 21st century. Far-right Argentine election meddling specialist Fernando Cerimedo was arrested in Bolivia after hiring hitmen to try to assassinate his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Nadia Beller. They failed, and she is now revealing the truth. Cerimedo has deep links to the US government and Donald Trump's top allies, such as Marco Rubio. Cerimedo worked for many US-backed right-wing leaders in Latin America, including Argentina's Javier Milei, Bolivia's Rodrigo Paz, Brazil's Bolsonaro family, and Honduras' Nasry "Tito" Asfura. Cerimedo is now also being investigated for drug trafficking. Ben Norton explains this insane scandal, which exposes how powerful US-backed right-wing groups, with funding from rich oligarchs, are manipulating elections and destroying democracy.

Look Forward breaks down Trump escalating his trade war with Canada by signing an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America;" a genuinely bizarre 400 year old naming dispute born entirely out of tariff spite. Meanwhile, Trump's beef import plan is already causing real problems: 30,000 pounds of Argentine beef just got recalled in Texas and Florida, raising real questions about the plan's quality controls even as ranchers and consumers alike push back.Hakeem Jeffries met privately with Jared Kushner weeks before midterms that could make him Speaker of the House, a decision that's drawing serious criticism from the leftwing of the Democratic Party. SCOTUS handed Trump a technically favorable but ultimately inconsequential ruling on mail voting. A Republican midterm convention is shaping up to be an expensive, tone deaf disaster, with House members reportedly paying up to $100,000 to attend.In corruption news: the State Department is trying to sell a Kehinde Wiley painting because it's "too woke," the Trump administration is threatening to demolish The Kennedy Center if it doesn't get its way on renaming it, and Trump's own crypto ventures have left other investors nearly $5 billion underwater while he personally profits. We cover all of it; the pettiness, the corruption, and the genuinely bizarre.Look Forward is a weekly progressive political podcast covering U.S. politics, government policy, Democratic strategy, elections, voting rights, Supreme Court rulings, and political news.

Gaslit Nation has long warned that the test for our democracy is whether Jared and Ivanka will be investigated, and whether they will face any charges. Instead, they follow a long family tradition of using their immense illicit wealth to live above the law. In this week's bonus show, we respond to reports that New York Congressman and House Speaker hopeful Hakeem Jeffries secretly met with Kushner, the president's son-in-law, himself the son of a convicted felon, and the shadow secretary of state traveling the world while representing both the American taxpayer and his own grift. They claim Kushner doesn't have an official White House role, then why is he in the middle of every major geopolitical conflict, meeting with dictators and other kleptocrats? (It's the money!)  News of the Jeffries/Kushner meeting set off a debate in this week's Gaslit Nation Salon over whether Jeffries is the right leader for Democrats in Congress during this dangerous time, who would be better positioned to replace him, and why we must demand accountability if we're ever going to rebuild our democracy.

From lucrative overseas deals to secret "special projects," the Trump sons are pulling in massive paydays—even without traditional jobs.

More To The Story: Ben McKenzie might seem like an unlikely choice to launch an investigation into the complicated world of cryptocurrency. But the television actor known for shows like The O.C. and Gotham did exactly that. His documentary film, Everyone Is Lying to You for Money, is a deep dive into the people and companies at the heart of crypto. The film focuses on McKenzie's journey to discover why people continue to invest in digital currency even while knowing the risks of this highly under-regulated market. On this week's More To The Story, McKenzie shares his concerns for what he calls the cult-like behavior of those investing in digital currency, talks about his interview with disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried just months before his arrest, and discusses the poignant conversations he had with everyday people who trusted the power of digital currency and lost everything—yet are still crypto believers.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Intern: Joni Binder | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonRead:Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud (Abrams Press)Watch:Everyone Is Lying to You for Money (The Forge)Listen:The Secret Story of FTX's Rise and Ruin Part 1 (Reveal)Listen: So You Don't Understand Crypto.

Ralph Friedman is the most decorated detective in NYPD history — with 2,000 on-duty arrests, 5,000 additional assists, and 219 awards — and in this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he finally tells the complete truth about what policing in New York City's most dangerous precincts really looked like from the inside during the most violent and most lawless era available. Stationed at the South Bronx's notorious 41st Precinct — known as Fort Apache — he served during one of New York City's most dire periods, recording 2,000 on-duty arrests, 5,000 additional assists, and 15 shootings — four of them fatal — before a rookie in a radio patrol car T-boned his passenger door at high speed on August 1, 1983, leaving him with 23 broken bones including a pelvis broken in four places and a shattered hip that forced him into medical retirement at 34. He shares what the Bronx streets in the 70s and 80s really required of the officers working them, what criminals putting hits on him actually involved, the worst things he ever saw on the job, and what the stories from a career that produced the most decorated record in NYPD history actually sound like from the detective who lived every one of them. _____________________________________________ #NYPD #cops #truecrimestories #police _____________________________________________ Thank you to AG1 & HUNGRYROOT for sponsoring this episode: AG1: For a limited time, save 20% on your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro at https://drinkag1.com/lockedin _____________________________________________ Hungryroot: Explore my Hungryroot Digital Cookbook "The Commissary Upgrade" at https://hungryroot.com/LOCKEDIN _____________________________________________  Connect with Ralph Friedman: https://www.bronxstreetwarrior.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/  _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to Detective Ralph Friedman 00:22 Reflections on a Legendary Career 01:08 How He Became a Cop 03:25 First Day in the Bronx 04:34 An Officer's Gear in the 1970s 06:16 The Mental Toll of Policing 07:47 Public Respect and Deterrence 10:00 Case: Stopping a Justifiable Homicide 12:53 Public Sentiment Today vs. Back Then 15:08 First Arrest and Early Impressions 17:04 Specialization and the Black Liberation Army 19:34 Daily Danger and Chaos 22:40 Corruption and the Knapp Commission 24:16 A Rookie's Brush with Corruption 27:43 Changing Views on Women in Policing 29:57 Path to Detective 33:05 Plainclothes Work and Tactics 35:31 Shootout in the South Bronx 41:17 Aftermath of a Shooting 43:31 Close Calls and Street Survival Tips 47:20 Quirky Emergency Service Stories 51:03 Old School vs. Modern Training 53:52 Detective Work and Arrests 58:40 A Typical Day as a Detective 01:02:32 Taking Down a Gun and Grenade Cache 01:05:05 Reputation and Informants 01:07:55 Riding with Friends and a Street Crew 01:12:40 The Worst Call of His Career 01:14:40 When the System Fails 01:16:51 Fitting In with the Squad 01:18:04 Off-Duty Life and Arrests 01:21:28 The Attempt on His Life 01:27:07 A Date with an Assassin 01:29:25 The Trap Unfortunately Foiled 01:30:42 The Emotional Weight of Taking Lives 01:32:28 Respect eroding in Society 01:35:10 Detective Ranks Explained 01:38:41 Handling Bosses and Paperwork 01:40:41 The Frances Tavern Case That Haunts Him 01:45:40 Fighting Layoffs 01:48:41 The Accident That Ended It All 01:53:20 Recovery and the Next Chapter 01:58:40 Life Advice from a Legend 02:00:00 Final Thoughts and Thanks _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Bishop Fulton Sheen's 1974 diagnosis of a “crisis in Christendom” say this coming: family breakdown, media shaped by anti-Christian assumptions, and a society that slowly adjusts to decline like a frog in warming water. We start with Nick Shirley's reporting on alleged adult daycare fraud and the uncomfortable question it raises: when taxpayer money disappears into “programs,” who benefits, and who gets protected when the spotlight turns on? We talk through why certain leaders go silent, why whistleblowers get attacked, and how following the money can reveal the incentives that drive political corruption.From there, we zoom out into the moral and spiritual roots beneath the headlines. We share two simple tests we use to judge whether a public leader is oriented toward the common good: do they defend innocent human life, especially the unborn, and do they defend marriage and the family as the core structure that forms stable citizens? When those pillars collapse, everything else follows: dishonesty becomes normal, vulnerable people get manipulated, and ideologies step in to replace conscience.If you feel the urgency, join us on a practical path: The Claymore Battle PlanSubscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with the one moment that challenged you most.Support the show

Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Aug 20, 2026

Look Forward breaks down Trump threatening Oman over the Strait of Hormuz, having backed himself into a corner with no diplomatic exit. Trump's tabloid style "not-mistress" saga gets a new chapter as his rumored companion lands in the spotlight thanks to John Ossoff. Meanwhile, the administration quietly signals a scale-back of joint military exercises with South Korea, raising fears of history repeating itself in the region. Republicans, once skeptical of data centers, suddenly need voters to love them ahead of the midterms; we break down the political reversal and why this is a horrible move for them and a great win for Democrats.In corruption news: the Lakers may be heading to be owned by a Kushner, conveniently easing federal pressure on the team's current owner. Trump Media's latest earnings report shows the company floundering just as badly as the rest of Trump's business ventures. In a stunning court admission, the Trump administration confirmed it's been withholding federal dollars from blue states specifically because they didn't vote for him. Setting off a disastrous precedent that could have far reaching implications long after the nightmare of the Trump era is over.Plus: A sitting US Senator admits on video she's "not that informed on national security." All the chaos, corruption, and unintentional comedy.Look Forward is a weekly progressive political podcast covering U.S. politics, government policy, Democratic strategy, elections, voting rights, Supreme Court rulings, and political news.

Martin Luther's outrage over a corrupt church selling indulgences helped ignite the Reformation, but the beliefs that grew out of that upheaval still shape Christianity centuries later. Zach, Al, John Luke, and Christian trace Luther's struggle with righteousness through Romans, his controversial problem with the book of James, and the tension between faith and works that Christians still wrestle with today. The guys confront the limits of human understanding, exploring whether our obsession with certainty leads us to argue over mysteries we were never equipped to solve. In this episode: Romans 1:16-17, 20; Romans 3; Romans 4; Romans 6-8; Romans 10; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; James 2; Hebrews 11 Today's conversation is about Lesson 7 of Theology 101: The Western Theological Tradition taught by various Hillsdale Professors. Take the course with us at no cost to you!  More about Theology 101: Examine the great questions of Western theology from the ancient Hebrews through today. The gift of speech, or reason, given by God to man, enables us to think about God and to worship Him.  This free online course pursues this purpose by examining the nature of God as revealed in the Bible, exploring the great theological questions and controversies of the early Christian church, studying the history of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, and much more.  We invite you to join us and explore the nature of the relationship between God and man, and how a proper understanding of this relationship can lead to a free and happy life.

This summer the state of New Mexico sued the Justice department for access to unredacted files related to Jeffrey Epstein. On this week's On the Media, an Epstein beat reporter shares her ongoing quest for accountability. Plus, an investigation into Tulsi Gabbard's mysterious relationship with a guru, and how it may have shaped her politics.  [01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone speaks with  Julie K. Brown, an investigative journalist at the Miami Herald, whose reporting in 2018 led to Jeffrey Epstein's arrest. They discuss how the Epstein files that have been released reveal how prosecutors failed to bring the sex trafficker to justice for years. This conversation first aired earlier this year. [19:08] Brooke sits down with Jon Swaine, a reporter at the Washington Post, to talk about his masterful long-form reporting on ex-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. He investigates Gabbard's mysterious relationship with her guru, and how it could account for Gabbard's shapeshifting from Democrat to Bernie Sanders ally to top MAGA staffer. [36:50] Brooke continues her conversation with Jon Swaine, and they dig into the nuts and bolts of his investigation into Tulsi Gabbard's relationship with her guru Chris Butler.   Further reading: The Epstein Files by Julie K.

Friends of Israel and enemies of Israel both commit the same mistake when they assume that, in American colleges and universities, the faculty hired to teach Jewish subjects are, in their own way, supportive of the Jewish state. The assumption is a reasonable one, and each side's error mirrors the other. The friends of Israel naturally suppose that academic scholars of Jewish history, Jewish thought, the history of Israel, and the arts and letters of Hebrew are there to offer context and support and are both capable of and inclined to explain Israel's case on campus. That doesn't mean that they would be expected to support any particular Israeli policy or Israeli politician or each and every maneuver of the Israeli military, but that they support Zionism in some fundamental sense. And Israel's enemies think that same thing, but of course from the opposite point of view, seeing in the entire enterprise of Jewish studies and all of its related fields and disciplines a vehicle for propaganda. It turns out that both are wrong. There's a good chance that an average member of a faculty of Jewish studies, Israel studies, Hebrew studies, or Holocaust studies holds a documented public position against Israel. Nearly four in ten of the professors specifically teaching Jewish civilization on American campuses are on the record as being hostile to Israel. Those data come from newly released findings of the largest audit yet undertaken of the views of professors of Jewish civilization in America, published recently by the Ronn Torossian Foundation and a publication called The Olam. The audit's own headline number is higher still—better than half, and past 70 percent at the Ivies—but that figure blends named professors together with institutional listings and petition tallies. The number above is the most important: faculty individually identified as teaching these subjects, and what they've put on the public record. To think through what this means, Jonathan Silver, the editor of Mosaic and host of the Tikvah podcast, is joined by Rachel Fish. Fish is a scholar of modern Israel, Zionist thought, and contemporary anti-Semitism, and the incoming CEO of the Israel Institute. They discuss not just these numbers, but how a discipline built to study Jewish civilization on serious scholarly terms ends up, in a meaningful share of cases, working against that civilization's national survival. We talk about what it means for the pipeline that produces the next generation of professors: graduate admissions, dissertation topics, and the hiring committees that decide who gets to teach. And I ask her about what a Jewish family sending a child to campus in the coming weeks needs to understand before that student walks into the classroom.

Jen Psaki looks at the terrible performance of some of the candidates endorsed by Donald Trump, and the lack of help struggling Republicans candidates are getting from Trump, who may be too unpopular to help them even if he was inclined to do so. Maggie Haberman, White House correspondent for The New York Times and co-author of "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump," and Dan Pfeiffer, co-host of Pod Save America, join to discuss Donald Trump's waning influence in the Republican Party and his fixation on vanity projects instead of midterm elections, as well as new MS NOW reporting on questions about Trump aide Natalie Harp's security clearance. Jen Psaki shares highlights from a weird, newly released reality-style show from Donald Trump's transportation secretary, former reality show performer and Fox host, Sean Duffy, featuring Duffy's family and products from the corporations that paid for the production. Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost discusses his objections to a new crypto bill supported by Donald Trump.

Vladimir Putin promised Russia a "dictatorship of law" when he took office in 2000. He delivered the dictatorship -- but not the law. This week, Russia expert, human rights lawyer, and founder of Russia's first independent foreign law firm Jamison Firestone joins journalist Rosanna Lockwood and former head of MI6 Sir Richard Dearlove to discuss his new book, Rule of Lies: My Wild Ride Through Chaos, Corruption, and Murder in Putin's Russia. Firestone lived through the upheaval of the early 1990s and worked alongside Sergei Magnitsky, who was murdered after exposing a Russian state built to loot itself. Firestone explains why Russia may now be close to a historical tipping point, how $300 billion in frozen Russian assets could be legally transferred to Ukraine to fund Kyiv;s war effort, and the ways in which Donald Trump has emulated Putin and Yeltsin. Plus, in Brief: changes coming to Germany's BND, the legacy of former Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji, Iceland's referendum on restarting EU membership talks, and the latest in the Iran War.

A new CBS poll showing Democrats favor socialism over capitalism by a wide margin, and the definitions people keep collapsing into each other. Todd Blanche spoke at a political rally on Long Island Friday and appeared to endorse Bruce Blakeman. Attorneys general do not do this. The reaction was immediate and bipartisan, from Mark Elias and Chuck Todd to Joe Walsh, John Harwood, Greg Nunziata, and Ron Filipkowski. Then Sunday, Kristen Welker opened Meet the Press by asking Blanche to pledge the Justice Department would act independently of the White House. He declined, and said no attorney general should make that pledge. Every one of his predecessors has. Hawk's rebuttal to the follow up is on the record: Trump publicly directed Pam Bondi to prosecute James Comey and Letitia James, and she tried. Jamie Raskin joined Anderson Cooper on the reported sale of early access to Trump's Truth Social posts, pitched around advance knowledge of market moving information. Ten companies have reportedly signed.

August 17, 2026, 5pm; Democrat lawmakers say Trump 2.0 is more focused on getting rich and prosecuting perceived enemies than helping the American people, and the American people have had enough. But rather than stop the corruption or make the American people feel better about what their government is doing, this administration is leaning in.
