In this episode, Jeff returns after a few weeks off — and explains how one press conference in Chicago spiraled into a fabricated international incident with the Mexican government. Representing Ovidio Guzmán (El Chapo's son) became less about legal defense and more about being scapegoated by terrified politicians. In the end, free speech and the truth will always shine through. And the Mexican people? Jeff notes that his respect for them has grown exponentially.Also covered: Hamas' newest PR strategy — letting Gaza starve while hoarding food in tunnels and filming propaganda videos of emaciated kids (whose fat parents are somehow not starving). The lies grow louder, the propaganda slicker, and yet Western liberal and far-right Jew haters just can't stop blaming Israel and taking it out on Jews. All while the next mayor of NYC will be a Hamas cheerleader who wants government-owned supermarkets and to arrest the Prime Minster of Israel. The downward spiral that began in 2008 nears completion.And finally, Jeff goes full collector mode: a breakdown of the baseball card National Show in Chicago. Too many rooms, too many scammers, but one glorious vintage Orioles cabinet card makes the entire hellscape worth it.

London, Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts: Die Gassen sind dunkel, das Gesetz oft machtlos – eine organisierte Polizei gibt es noch nicht, von Scotland Yard keine Spur. Verbrechen sind Alltag, Angst regiert die Stadt. Inmitten dieser Unordnung erhebt sich ein Mann, der vorgibt, für Ordnung zu sorgen – und zugleich das Chaos orchestriert: Jonathan Wild. -- In dieser Folge BRITPOD CRIME rekonstruieren Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling das Leben eines der berüchtigtsten Doppelspieler der britischen Kriminalgeschichte. Wild gibt sich als gesetzestreuer Verbrechensbekämpfer aus – in Wahrheit ist er das Mastermind hinter einem perfekt organisierten Diebesnetzwerk. Er lässt stehlen, fängt die Täter öffentlichkeitswirksam selbst – und kassiert gleich doppelt: an der Beute und am Ruhm. Diese Episode beleuchtet seinen Aufstieg vom Gefängniswärter zum selbsternannten „Thief Taker General“, seine geschickte Manipulation von Presse und Justiz und den wachsenden Einfluss, den er auf das Londoner Verbrechensmilieu ausübt. Auch Jonathan Wilds dramatischer Fall wird detailliert erzählt: von Intrigen, Verrat und der Hinrichtung am Galgen von Tyburn im Jahr 1725 – einem Schauspiel, dem Tausende beiwohnen. Das Doppelleben des "Königs der Unterwelt" inspirierte Schriftsteller wie Bertolt Brecht und Komponisten wie Kurt Weill ("Die Dreigroschenoper") – sein Name steht bis heute für Machtmissbrauch, Inszenierung und moralische Abgründe. Ein Krimineller, der die Regeln schrieb – und gleichzeitig brach.

In part 3, Ariel Castro tightens his grip on control after bringing a third victim into his home. As the dynamic between the captives shifts, so does the level of psychological warfare. Michelle Knight describes how Castro used manipulation, fear, and false promises to dominate their every move. Dr. Phil analyzes the mindset of a sociopath—why predators escalate, how they exploit power, and what drives their need to crush autonomy. Behind locked doors, hope flickers. Then, one mistake cracks the illusion of control—and nothing stays hidden forever.

In Part 2 of Inside the Cleveland Kidnapping, Dr. Phil walks you through how Ariel Castro tortured Michelle Knight with chains, threats, and psychological warfare. Michelle describes how she read his moods, played along, and used her instincts to stay alive. Castro didn't just beat and rape her—he isolated her, starved her, and manipulated her with lies about her son and her fate. Dr. Phil breaks down how Castro played God in his house, demanded total obedience, and escalated his abuse when he felt his power slipping. This episode shows how survivors like Michelle fight not just with strength—but with strategy, clarity, and an unstoppable will to live.

In this podcast Jeff discusses a moment he never dreamed would occur: Iran's nuclear facilities were destroyed by America and Iran is finally punished for its global terror. Every President from Carter through Biden looked the other way or appeased Iran's terrorism — Trump did not. Jeff eats some crow but points out the MAGA leading voices who sided with the Muslim terror state that tried to kill our President. And an update on Jeff's federal fraud sentencing before his fraternity brother. It was a hoot, it was surreal and it brought back a lot of memories.

This week Jeff opens with the long-awaited Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear infrastructure, a dazzling military operation years in the making. But instead of support for Israel, Jeff is stunned by the response: hatred not only from the far left but now pouring out of MAGA's biggest names. Yes, the Trump-right has joined Hamas and the progressive left in their obsessive Jew hatred, and Jeff is seething.Trump, meanwhile, couldn't resist taking credit for the Israeli success after the fact, even though he reportedly tried to block the strike for months. And if he actually helped, why didn't he greenlight American B-52s to finish the job on the underground nuke sites? Why is he trying to make a huge deal when the world's biggest sponsor of terror is on its knees?Also this week: a tale of how a young lawyer buying his first suits comes full circle 30 years later, this time as a man paying cash with 44 tailored suits under his belt. Plus, Jeff faces a federal judge he went to college with and admits, despite all of his own accomplishments, the judge is the better man.As always, Jeff pulls no punches. Not for MAGA. Not for Trump. Not for the far left. And certainly not for anyone siding with the world's worst terror regime.

From a town mourning its unlikely mascot to Nancy’s candid reflections on personal tragedy, the conversation explores how loss, both individual and shared, shapes the pursuit of justice.

Today Nancy Grace and Sheryl McCollum dissect the incredible testimony of Cassie Ventura in the case of Sean Diddy Combs. The duo take listeners inside the courtroom, explaining how victim testimony works and why it’s so hard for prosecutors to prove abuse - especially when power, money, and influence are at play. Sheryl explains why Cassie Ventura’s hotel video is a “money tree” for the case - legal gold when it comes to proving the power dynamics and abuse. They explain what happens when a victim has to live under the intense control of an abusive partner - and how that control becomes a tumultuous abuse cycle. Nancy shares her own experience of this power play in the legal system to give the example of how a person in the situation of a power play has to weigh the choices of exposure. Last but not least, Nancy celebrates a proud parenting moment - her twins becoming Eagle Scouts. Show Notes: (0:00) Welcome!

Jimmy Townsend ////// 838Part 1 of 1 www.TrueCrimeGarage.comIf there ever was a boy who was a living legend in his neck of the woods, well for West Monroe, Louisiana in the early 1980's it was Jimmy Townsend. Jimmy was smart, talented, good looking, and liked by all. He was known in West Monroe for his athleticism and the ability to carry his youth sports teams to success. It was thought that Jimmy would most certainly someday take his talents to the Majors. Jimmy as it seemed was destined for big things. Jimmy and a group of friends were confronted and attacked by a group of older boys at the annual Ark-La-Miss fair. Jimmy was beaten to death by those boys. The reports vary but it could have been as many as 7 older boys that surrounded and beat Jimmy Townsend to death. The murder of 13 year old Jimmy Townsend is still unsolved. If you have any information about this crime, please call the Monroe Police Department at 1-318-329-2600.

Hate American Made ////// The Soldier Part 5 of 6 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com Timothy James McVeigh was a decorated American Soldier who served during Operation Desert Storm. After the war McVeigh had difficulties finding a new path for himself. Ultimately, he became enraged against the government that his soldier duties once served. He believed and told others that the U.S. government was in the process of taking away the freedoms of its citizens. Then Ruby Ridge happened and when the Waco standoff was in its early stages he was present, even giving an interview to a local reporter. These events were “proof” to McVeigh that he was right. All of his fears were coming true. Timothy McVeigh became America's worst homegrown terrorist when he blew up the Alfred P. Murrah building in downtown Oklahoma City. What meaning did the Oklahoma City Bombing hold for Timothy McVeigh and beyond? Was it revenge? Was it the first act of a revolution? Was it a going away present for Richard Snell?

Nancy Grace and Sheryl McCollum discuss the latest on Rex Heuermann and Lori Vallow’s Cases. Sheryl gives a live check-in from the Hamptons, where she describes the quiet tension in a neighborhood trying to move on. She talks about Rex Heuermann’s house, now partially hidden as the family packs up and prepares to leave. Nancy and Sheryl question what this means, if it’s the first step toward tearing the house down, and why that could be a big problem for the trial. They stress how important it is for jurors to see the space where the crimes happened to fully understand the case. Nancy shifts to the latest on Lori Vallow. Representing herself, Lori is facing charges for the murders of her children and her former husband. Nancy and Sheryl walk through the case and how Lori’s strange behavior and beliefs played a role in the crimes.
