Kelly Clarkson’s emotional breaking point wasn’t just the collapse of her marriage — it was the gut punch of learning her late ex-husband Brandon Blackstock had been in a relationship with her former production assistant, Brittney Marie Jones. Leonardo DiCaprio had his own brush with drama — narrowly avoiding recognition at a Spanish police checkpoint outside an exclusive Ibiza party, much to his relief. Meanwhile, insiders reveal Justin Baldoni’s PR team scrambled to contain a growing backlash after “Blake activated the Taylor Swift fan base.” Rob is joined by the charming Marc Lupo.

Since January, the United States' migrant detention and deportation system, which was already troubled, has become increasingly opaque. Access to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities is restricted, internal oversight agencies have been hollowed out, and credible information about conditions inside is scarce. Yet reports that have emerged, some from those who have recently been deported, tell a troubling story echoing the darkest moments of recent U.S. immigration history. In late July and early August, researchers from WOLA and the Women's Refugee Commission (WRC) set out to pierce this “black box” by visiting cities in Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico that are key deportation hubs. There, they interviewed deported migrants, service providers, advocates, experts, and government officials to learn what they are hearing about conditions in U.S. detention. The findings are disturbing. They point to a resurgence of family separations, cruel treatment, miserable, unhealthy conditions, and deportation processes that violate migrants' rights and dignity. With transparency mechanisms dismantled, these abuses are happening out of public view. In this episode, host Adam Isacson talks with two colleagues from WRC with whom he traveled: Zain Lakhani, WRC's director of Migrant Rights and Justice. Diana Flórez, a consultant to WRC, an attorney and expert on gender, transitional justice, development, and peacebuilding. During their travels, Isacson, Lakhani, and Flórez shared photos and initial findings in four “dispatches” published to our organizations' websites, from Honduras, Guatemala, Tapachula, and Ciudad Juárez. We heard consistent accounts of: Family separations: A larger number than expected of parents deported without U.S. citizen children, often without being given the choice of being removed with them. The crisis is approaching the scale of the “zero tolerance” family separations that shocked the nation in 2018. Inhumane conditions: Overcrowded cells, lack of medical care, and verbal and physical abuse by guards. Threats to the health of pregnant and lactating women and their children: Insufficient and poor-quality food, difficulty in obtaining medical attention, and even being forced to sleep on floors. (The podcast refers to a July 30 report on abuse in detention, especially of pregnant women and children, by the office of Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Georgia).) Targeting of vulnerable populations: Harassment of LGBTQ+ individuals, especially trans individuals who are now detained with the gender to which they were assigned at birth. As Lakhani notes, “Historically… we were able to enter detention centers and visit them and speak with migrants,” but “now we're seeing the deliberate creation of a black box.” We hope that the WOLA–WRC delegation's findings will guide future, more intensive on-the-ground research enabling advocates to refer egregious abuses requiring legal action, build a rigorous archive of known cases, and inform public opinion and policymakers.
Envíame un mensajeEl Padre Prevost ayudó a difundir la historia de la Venerable Nellie Organ, conocida también como "La pequeña Nellie del Santo Dios", una niña irlandesa que mostró una devoción extraordinaria a la Eucaristía antes de morir a la edad de 4 años y medio en 1908. Su santidad y su deseo profundo de recibir la Eucaristía fueron tan notables que el Papa Pío X vio en ella un respaldo celestial a la creciente apertura de la Iglesia hacia la Primera Comunión temprana. En 1910, esto llevó al Papa a promulgar el decreto Quam Singulari, que permitió a los niños recibir la Primera Comunión desde la edad de razón (alrededor de los 7 años). Ellen Organ, es una niña irlandesa venerada por su profunda fe y devoción a la Eucaristía.Support the show YouTube Facebook Telegram Instagram Tik Tok Twitter
For much of America's history, the promise of greater economic opportunities in new places was an intrinsic idea to the country's identity. But in recent decades, it's become increasingly difficult to pack up and chase that American dream. Why? Yoni Appelbaum is a deputy executive editor at The Atlantic and the author of the book, Stuck: How the Privileged and the Propertied Broke the Engine of American Opportunity which explores the significant decline in geographic and economic mobility in the United States over the past 50 years.Yoni and Greg analyze the historical context of mobility trends in America, the role of zoning laws, the influence of homeownership policies, and the changes brought about by millions of moves within American society. They also discuss possible reforms and a generational shift towards embracing growth and community development.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:How America got stuck in a mobility decline16:00: For almost all of American history, when a place was thriving economically, we threw up new housing to accommodate all the new arrivals who would flock toward that opportunity. And then, 50 years ago, we pretty much made it impossible to do that. And so, as a result, when people are in a place today with declining opportunity, they really are kind of stuck—the places that they could move just can't accommodate them.The hidden costs of not building30:09: If you do not build housing that is affordable, if you do not build new luxury housing that rich people move into, thereby letting the older housing stock become available to people on, on more limited incomes, if you are not building, then you are shutting out those people. And so, it is not just the crisis of homelessness, which is a real crisis, it is also that lack of mobility.Why newcomers make communities thrive06:45: Loneliness is good, aloneness is bad, but loneliness is like hunger. It is a spur to action… [07:09] It is that loneliness of the new arrivals in town that has traditionally spurred people to form social relationships. You are much likelier to join something if you are new in town. And then, there is the other part of it too, which is that a community that is full of new arrivals will have a much more vibrant civic life.Geography as a tool for reinvention08:26: Everything that mattered about you was defined at your birth. You inherited your spot in the social hierarchy, your religion, often your father's occupation, your prospects, your identity — all of that — and largely your geographic location, right? You lived on the land your family had lived on for generations and where you expected your grandkids and your great-grandkids to live. You were defined at birth. What America did by allowing people to choose their own communities, by giving a legal right — and this was a bit of a legal revolution — the chance for people to move where they wanted to, we gave people the chance to decide who they wanted to be through their physical geography, through those serial relocations. Because Americans did not just move once, maybe not 40 times, but by moving repeatedly through their lives, Americans were able to continually reinvent themselves and to fashion their own identities. All of these things became matters of choice.Show Links:Recommended Resources:The Opportunity AtlasOkie Jacob RiisGuest Profile:Author Bio at The AtlanticProfessional Profile on XGuest Work:Stuck: How the Privileged and the Propertied Broke the Engine of American Opportunity

Jason and John Mauldin discuss the current state of the housing market, noting at while some areas face a shortage due to regulations and high costs, others have a surplus of homes. They highlight the impact of high mortgage rates relative to housing prices, pushing some into the rental market. Jason mentioned a record number of new apartment deliveries during the COVID-19 period, which is now subsiding, and they discussed the muted performance of the housing market overall, with some markets slightly up and others down. John suggested that sellers in many markets may need to adjust their expectations, describing a "barbell market" with high and low ends but a lack of mid-range options. https://www.mauldineconomics.com/frontlinethoughts #JohnMauldin #HousingMarket #HousingShortage #Tariffs #Homebuilders #MortgageRates #RentalMarket #ApartmentConstruction #InterestRates #Powell #Trump #FederalReserve #Inflation #Deflation #Disinflation #GovernmentDebt #GDPGrowth #Deficits #StockMarket #Dividends #PassiveInvesting #ActiveInvesting #PreciousMetals #Gold #BitcoinSkeptic #FinancialAdvice #AmericanExperiment #FreeMarkets #Crisis #DebtCrisis #AI #Robotics #Longevity #GlobalEnergy #NaturalGas #OilPrices #Protectionism #Globalization #ConsumptionTax #VAT #ThoughtsFromTheFrontLine #MauldinEconomics Key Takeaways: 1:49 Don't be fooled by Bill Gates 2:50 John Mauldin and the housing shortage 9:58 Bitcoin and gold as insurance 11:32 Sponsor: https://www.monetary-metals.com/Hartman/ 13:31 Stock market 15:53 Inflation expectations and the bond market 18:52 The markets and geo-political noise 22:15 The American experiment is alive and well Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Many student loan borrowers are falling behind again, and the impact is more than financial.A recent change in federal law has reshaped student loan repayment, and as collections ramp back up, millions are seeing their credit scores drop. If you're feeling the weight of repayment, you're not alone. Neile Simon joins us today with practical steps to help you regain control.Neile Simon is a Certified Credit Counselor with Christian Credit Counselors (CCC), an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Major Changes in Federal Student Loan RepaymentIn early July, sweeping legislation restructured federal student loan repayment options. Borrowers now face only two choices:Standard Repayment Plan: Lasting 10 to 25 yearsRepayment Assistance Plan (RAP): A 30-year plan with payments based on 1% to 10% of the borrower's income, with a minimum of $10 per monthWhile RAP may seem like a helpful tool, the new law eliminated borrower-friendly plans such as the SAVE plan and many income-driven repayment options. For borrowers who are unemployed or experiencing hardship, this is a significant loss. The end of pandemic-era protections, including deferments, has left many unprepared and falling behind.Adding to the challenge, federal collections resumed on May 5, signaling a firm end to COVID-19 relief. The result? A wave of financial instability.The Credit Score CrisisThe fallout from these changes has been swift and painful. According to AP News, in the first quarter of this year alone:Over 2.2 million borrowers experienced a credit score drop of more than 100 points.Over 1 million borrowers experienced a decrease of more than 150 points.This sharp decline has made it difficult for individuals to secure new credit. Car loans, mortgages, and even rental approvals are now being denied. With limited disposable income, many are forced to choose between paying rent, student loans, or credit cards.More people are relying on credit cards just to cover essentials like groceries and gas. It's a cycle that only deepens their debt and financial stress.How Credit Counseling Can HelpWhile Christian Credit Counselors doesn't directly manage student loans, they play a vital role for those overwhelmed by mounting credit card balances. Neely explains how nonprofit credit counseling agencies bring clarity and relief:One-on-One Counseling: Certified counselors review your debt, income, and budgetDebt Management Plan (DMP): Unsecured debts are consolidated into a single monthly paymentCreditor Negotiation: Lowered interest rates (often between 1% and 12%), reduced monthly payments, and elimination of late feesCommitment to Repayment: This is not a loan, bankruptcy, or debt settlement. You repay your full debt—just through a simplified plan.It's a way to honor your commitments while regaining control. And once enrolled, your interest rates remain fixed throughout the program.If you're feeling weighed down by debt, don't wait. Take an honest look at your budget, explore your options, and don't hesitate to reach out for help. You may feel stuck, but there are real solutions—and people who care.Christian Credit Counselors is here to walk with you, offering biblical guidance and practical solutions to help you achieve debt freedom.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1120: Today we cover Presidio's latest report showing dealership profitability gaining stable ground. We look at how automakers are shifting from solo efforts to shared platforms in the race for software-defined vehicles. We close with a growing workforce trend as quiet cracking challenges employee wellbeing and productivity.Show Notes with links:Presidio Says the Sugar High's Over, But the Game's Still Strong as the latest Presidio Group report shows that after a volatile couple of years, dealers are finally catching their breath. With stable margins, strong profitability, and M&A picking back up, it's no longer about surviving—it's about playing to win.New-vehicle margins ticked up in Q2 for the first time since 2022, signaling rare pricing stability.Used cars, F&I, and fixed ops are carrying the profit torch, with public group net income up 17.7%.M&A activity matched last year's pace, with 208 transactions in the first half of 2025.72% of dealers expect profits to hold or grow—fueling strategic investments instead of survival tacticsAs the software-defined vehicle era pushes forward, automakers are realizing that trying to own the whole tech stack isn't just hard, it's inefficient. Instead, they're cutting internal software efforts, embracing open-source collaboration, and betting on smarter, shared development models.Ford ended its FNV4 architecture program, VW cut 1,600 Cariad staff, and others have scaled back internal software teams.Despite sounding like a retreat, these moves signal maturity, OEMs are focusing on what matters and outsourcing the rest.Partnerships are growing fast: Foxconn and Elektrobit, BMW and Bosch via Eclipse Foundation, Rivian and VW, all working on shared SDV platforms.Analysts say open-source platforms are now essential to SDV progress. Toyota, Hyundai, GM, and others are already building around Linux-based ecosystemsMove over, quiet quitting. The latest workplace challenge is “quiet cracking,” where employees keep showing up, but they're checked out, stressed, and silently struggling. And in today's uncertain job market, many feel stuck without better options.Quiet cracking is marked by disengagement and burnout, even if employees aren't actively underperforming.Workers are staying in roles due to fear of layoffs or poor hiring prospects, not because they're thriving.Signs include subtle performance dips, increased absenteeism, and Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Mark Monchek, founder and Chief Opportunity Officer of Opportunity Lab. A seasoned author, speaker, and advisor, Mark has guided leaders from top global organizations through times of radical disruption. Drawing from his books Culture of Opportunity and the forthcoming Opportunity Intelligence, Mark shares how to unlock growth through collaboration, mindset shifts, and purpose-driven leadership.The conversation explores how leaders can thrive in chaos by embracing abundance over scarcity, building resilient networks, and identifying leverage points in times of upheaval. Mark recounts powerful stories—from rebuilding Asheville's River Arts District after Hurricane Helene to transforming the Literacy Assistance Center's resources through network mapping—that illustrate his belief in turning disruption into opportunity. The discussion also dives into cultivating generosity, forging unconventional partnerships (even with competitors), and the philosophy behind his upcoming “UnConference” for mid-market CEOs. This episode offers a compelling mix of history, personal resilience, and actionable strategies for leaders who want to create lasting impact in their organizations and communities.TakeawaysRadical disruptions impact all sectors simultaneously today, making adaptability more critical than ever.Leveraging networks can unlock hidden resources—often far more than organizations realize.Scarcity mindset limits growth; abundance mindset fosters collaboration and innovation.Crisis moments often accelerate trust, generosity, and community-building.Major innovations often emerge during economic downturns or crises.Partnerships—even with competitors—can expand capacity without adding overhead.Resilient leadership starts with finding a “place to stand” before taking action.Leaders should cultivate anti-fragility: emerging stronger after adversity.Most significant personal and professional growth comes from responding to challenges, not avoiding them.The UnConference model emphasizes peer-to-peer learning and authentic relationship-building.Storytelling and shared vision drive cooperation and collective success.Aligning business goals with a higher purpose strengthens resilience and motivation.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Mark Monchek's background in business, art, and psychology03:35 Defining radical disruption and why today's challenges are different05:24 Rebuilding Asheville's River Arts District after Hurricane Helene09:18 Finding leverage points in crisis and innovation during downturns13:31 Case study: Unlocking hidden resources at the Literacy Assistance Center19:53 Generosity, abundance mindset, and building collaborative networks24:12 The UnConference model for authentic leadership connections34:19 Partnerships, resilience, and balancing priorities40:09 Lessons in resilience from family history and adversity46:29 Why the UnConference exists and the outcomes it aims to create53:31 Closing advice: Lead with purpose and embrace collaborationMark Monchek's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/markmonchek/Mark Monchek's Website:https://opplab.com/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

Most of us think of scams as random or isolated or something that just happens to unlucky people. But what if the truth is far more organized, far more disturbing? Behind many of today's scams is a global web of criminal enterprises, structured like corporations and fueled by technology, data, and billions of stolen dollars. In this episode, we sit down with Ken Westbrook. Ken spent over three decades in the CIA before retiring, only to return to the fight after his own mother was targeted and lost most of her life savings to a tech support scam. That moment changed everything. He founded Stop Scams Alliance, a nonprofit on a mission to stop scams before they ever reach our devices. His approach? Building bridges between tech companies, banks, telecom, government, and consumer advocates to cut these criminal operations off at the source. Ken brings a rare blend of intel experience and personal urgency to this issue. He breaks down what's really going on behind the scenes, why the U.S. is falling behind in this fight, and how other countries are pushing back effectively. If you think this can't happen to you or someone you love, think again. This conversation is a wake-up call. Show Notes: [00:58] Ken is the founder and CEO of Stop Scams Alliance, a non-profit dedicated to reducing scams in the United States. [01:21] They are focused on the left of the boom or before the scam happens. [01:43] Ken served for 33 years in the CIA. [02:28] We learn how Ken's mother was scammed on Valentine's Day of 2023. He started looking into these scams, and he was horrified. [03:19] As a nation, we need to do better to defend ourselves. Ken came out of retirement to do just that. [03:32] His board of directors has a lot of government officials who decided to join the fight. We are literally under attack by foreign organized crime, and we're not doing enough to protect ourselves. [04:03] 21 million Americans are scammed each year. [04:45] The number of scam and fraud victims are increasing. [05:15] It's become a business, and the scammers are getting better at what they do. [06:36] How Chinese criminal gangs shifted from casinos to scamming operations. People join voluntarily or are sometimes kidnapped. [07:24] It's also expanding around the world. [10:12] The British government actually has a scam czar. So does Australia. They have a strategy and a fraud policy. [12:08] You think you're talking to the IRS or your bank, but you're not. [13:45] Having a whitelist for financial advertising. Other countries are finding value in authenticating, maybe the United States should pay attention. [15:36] Scammers love to get people on the telephone. In many countries, telecom companies will block spoofing calls from other countries. [16:47] We need authenticated text messages in the US. [17:42] We have more companies and free enterprise, so it's more complicated in the US. [19:35] We need somebody in charge. It's an economic war with transnational organized crime. [22:34] Fake investment scams are the number one scam when it comes to losses. [27:46] Ken shares what happened in his mom's case. It was a tech support scam. His mom clicked on an obituary site and scareware popped up. [30:08] The whole point is to get you to call a fake 1-800 number that you think is Microsoft. [30:51] The Phantom hacker was able to look up where she banked by using her phone number. Then they put her in touch with the fake fraud department at the bank. [32:11] Then they sent her to Home Depot to buy gift cards and then cashier's checks. [33:55] Fortunately the banks intervened, but she still lost a lot of money. [36:38] We need to realize that we're being attacked by Chinese cyber criminals. [39:38] People under the age of 50 are falling victim to scams more than the elderly people. [41:31] The average loss last year of an older person was $83,000. Older people are being targeted because of their demographic. [43:31] Criminals micro-target just like advertisers. [44:04] We all need to be aware of the threats out there. If you get a call that you're not expecting, always assume it's not legitimate. [45:21] Be wary of links. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

In this episode of The Passing Judgment Podcast, host Jessica Levinson unpacks President Trump's decision to deploy federal troops—including the National Guard and Marines—to Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. Jessica explains the current California v. Trump trial, which centers on whether the administration violated the Posse Comitatus Act—a law barring the military from acting as domestic law enforcement unless certain exceptions apply. She discusses the difference between supporting federal agencies and directly enforcing laws, and outlines legal exceptions like the Insurrection Act. Jessica also details the president's authority over the D.C. National Guard and the special rules for taking over the District's police under the Home Rule Act.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:The Posse Comitatus Act at Center Stage: The ongoing bench trial (California v. Trump) challenges whether deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles crossed the legal line into direct law enforcement, potentially violating the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act.Presidential Authority—A Legal Balancing Act: While the president (any president!) can federalize the National Guard, there are boundaries—like the Insurrection Act—that determine what those troops can actually do once deployed. This nuance will shape legal precedents nationwide.D.C. vs. State Jurisdictions: The president has much more direct control over deploying and directing the National Guard in D.C., versus states like California. Taking control of local police, however, requires navigating additional legal steps under the Home Rule Act.Mentioned In The Episode: National Guard in Los Angeles: Decoding the Law Behind the StandoffThe Legal Battle Over Federalizing California's National Guard: What You Need to KnowFollow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica
Today, Hunter was joined once again the Texas Indigent Defense Commission Executive Director, Scott Ehlers. This time, Scott and Hunter explore a slow moving crisis in Texas Public Defense: an absolute lack of attorneys in rural parts of the state. As with so many states with large rural areas, attorneys are retiring faster than they can be replaced. Scott and his team at TIDC tried to get more funding from the legislature, but as it stands now, the legislature does not seem to be taking this issue as seriously as they should. So what will happen to public defense in rural Texas?

What does it truly mean to live well as we approach the end of life? In this powerful episode of the Good Death Podcast, we explore what it truly means to live well as we approach the end of life. Inspired by personal stories—from a grandmother's courageous final months to families navigating the emotional toll of dementia—we confront the hard truths about caregiving, medical overreach, and the need for compassionate planning. With over 54 million caregivers in the U.S. often left unsupported, this episode emphasizes the importance of community, education, and tools like the dementia advanced directive. We also spotlight transformative choices like VSED (Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking) and the vital role of end-of-life doulas in restoring dignity and humanity to our final chapter. This is not just a conversation about death—it's an invitation to live more consciously, with purpose, empathy, and courage.

The video game labor market is in crisis, and few understand it better than Amir Satvat. In this episode, host Alexandra Takei, Director at Ruckus Games, sits down with Amir, Tencent BD Director and founder of the world's largest grassroots games career community, to break down the structural shifts reshaping the industry. From layoffs and shrinking remote roles to the rise of low-cost development geographies, the duo discusses a data-backed look into the forces pressuring both employers and workers. The two explore how job supply is increasingly mismatched with demand, particularly at the junior and late-career ends, and how industry preferences are shifting toward mid-career veterans. They discuss Amir's job board (which tracks 3,000+ studios), his army of 2,500 volunteer coaches, and what it takes to future-proof a career in games today. Amir shares why he runs his community for free, why branding and portfolio-building matter more than ever, and why companies must invest in early-career talent if they want a future workforce. With over 130,000 LinkedIn followers and partnerships with GDC, Gamescom, and Overwolf, Amir isn't just observing the market — he's actively reshaping how people find work within it. This episode is essential listening for anyone navigating the uncertainty of employment in the games industry today.
