In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover new data showing the exodus of over two million foreigners under President Trump, an FBI shift toward immigration enforcement, reports of police “cooking the books” on crime, fresh Antifa terror threats, a major arrest in California's deadly Palisades fire, and breaking news on New York Attorney General Letitia James's indictment. We'll also look abroad at the Gaza peace deal, China's mineral squeeze, Argentina's bailout, Finland's icebreaker partnership, and research on finding daily hope. Quick hits to set your radar for the weekend.   Trump's Immigration Victory: The Center for Immigration Studies confirmed that 1.65 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. since Trump took office, along with 550,000 legal migrants, totaling 2.2 million fewer foreign residents. That equals roughly 20 to 25 percent of those who entered under Biden, marking faster progress than expected.   FBI Turns to Immigration Enforcement: A quarter of FBI agents are now focused on immigration, with the figure reaching 40 percent in large field offices. Critics call it a misuse of resources, but Bryan argues that with 185,000 Chinese illegal aliens in the U.S., “it stands to reason” the shift is justified.   DC Crime Data Under Investigation: Forty Washington, D.C. officers are cooperating with a DOJ probe into whether city leaders falsified crime statistics. Officers say politicians and senior brass “cooked the books” to hide rising crime.   Antifa Plans ‘Laser Tag' Attacks on ICE Helicopters: The group is urging followers to flood Portland skies with handheld lasers to down federal aircraft. Bryan reminds listeners: “Antifa is not an idea or peaceful — they are terrorists.”   Palisades Fire Suspect Arrested: A 29-year-old Florida man and Biden donor was charged in California's fire that killed 12 people and caused $150 billion in damage. Investigators say his phone data placed him at the scene.   Letitia James Indicted for Mortgage Fraud: New York's Attorney General, who campaigned on prosecuting Trump, faces bank fraud charges for falsifying records on two homes and claiming her father was her husband to secure favorable loans. Bryan quips, “Karma is quite something, isn't it?”   Gaza Peace Advances: Israel's cabinet approved Trump's ceasefire plan, including 2,000 prisoner releases, partial troop withdrawals, and European-Egyptian patrols in Gaza. Trump will visit the region for a signing ceremony.   UAE AI Chip Deal: The U.S. authorized Nvidia sales worth billions to the UAE in exchange for a $1.4 trillion investment pledge. Critics warn of Chinese espionage risks.   China Tightens Rare Earth Exports: Beijing imposed new restrictions on key minerals to pressure Trump before trade talks. Analysts expect new U.S. investments in domestic mining to follow.   U.S. Backs Argentina's Milei: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent bought Argentine pesos to stabilize the economy ahead of Milei's election battle against socialists.   Finland Icebreaker Deal: The U.S. and Finland agreed to co-produce 11 new icebreakers, expanding the Coast Guard's fleet to 13 ships for Arctic defense and trade.   U.S. Sinks More Narco Boats: The Navy destroyed at least five cartel vessels in the Caribbean as Trump halted diplomatic talks with Venezuela.   Study Finds Hope Reduces Stress: Researchers discovered that short daily videos of inspiration reduce anxiety more effectively than meditation. Bryan closes, “The path to happiness and less stress is hope.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Keywords: Trump immigration deportations 2.2 million, FBI agents immigration enforcement, DC crime stats investigation DOJ, Antifa laser attack ICE helicopters, Palisades fire arrest Florida suspect, Letitia James mortgage fraud indictment, Israel Hamas Trump peace plan, UAE Nvidia AI chip deal China risks, China rare earth export limits, Argentina Milei bailout Scott Bessent, Finland icebreaker shipbuilding deal, Venezuela narco boats destroyed, hope inspiration stress study MedicalXpress

Zo had gone apartment hunting over the summer. His fortunes had changed and he could, for the second time, move out of his mother's house (and, though she professed love and admiration and was sure to remind him that he could come back home anytime - Zo was sure that she was glad to see him go). Zo looked at a lot of apartments, most of which he could barely afford. One particular apartment , that was well within his budget, was legitimately terrifying. It was definitely haunted. Zo definitely saw ghosts. One in particular was as goofy and cantankerous as he was absolutely horrific. On the several times that he visited the place, that is, weighing the options of affordability while living with a poltergeist, the spooky specter appeared as a giant spider, a giant snake, and a frightening used car salesman. Even with all the different shapes that the spirit would take the thing maintained the same ghoulish drunken clown face. Ultimately, Zo decided against renting that apartment. He supposed that was the goal of the ghost haunting the place: to keep Zo from renting it. The other thing that Zo could remember from these encounters was that he could've sworn that the thing had a name . . . Did someone call it Beetlejuice?   Episode Chapters00:04:45 Opening Credits for Beetlejuice starring Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Michael Keaton00:14:47 Favorite Parts of the 1988 film Beetlejuice00:51:04 Trivia from the horror comedy Beetlejuice00:58:27 Critics' Thoughts on Tim Burton's Beetlejuice#Beetlejuice Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: fanmail@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Maniac Mansion was a sitcom that aired on The Family Channel from 1990 to 1993. The show was created by Eugene Levy and produced by George Lucas's Lucasfilm Television. Loosely based on the cult-favorite 1987 video game of the same name. While the series took its name from the cult video game, the show used little to none of the source material, opting instead for a domestic sitcom laced with surreal, science-fiction twists. The premise centered on Dr. Fred Edison (Joe Flaherty), a well-meaning scientist whose home experiments often created bizarre predicaments for his family. The mix of conventional family humor and absurdist elements gave the show a tone that was equal parts sitcom, parody, and sketch comedy. Critics and audiences received Maniac Mansion with curiosity but mixed feelings. Fans of the video game were surprised by the lighter, kid-friendly direction, while TV reviewers highlighted its eccentric humor and offbeat charm from the show's SCTV roots. Though it never broke through as a mainstream hit, the series gained a modest cult following. Is this this show going to be more Spooky or Dookie with the boys? Listen as they deep dive the show's pilot episode, "The 10th Anniversary Special" and find out.

Scrutiny of the figure of the “trad wife” has hit a fever pitch. These influencers' accounts feature kempt, feminine women embracing hyper-traditional roles in marriage and home-making—and, in doing so, garnering millions of followers. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss standout practitioners of the “trad” life style, including Nara Smith, who makes cereal and toothpaste from scratch, and Hannah Neeleman, who, posting under the handle @ballerinafarm, presents a life caring for eight children in rural Utah as a bucolic fantasy. The hosts also discuss “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” a reality-television show on Hulu about a group of Mormon influencers engulfed in scandal, whose notions of female empowerment read as a quaint reversal of the trad-wife trend. A common defense of a life style that some would call regressive is that it's a personal choice, devoid of political meaning. But this gloss is complicated by societal changes such as the erosion of women's rights in America and skyrocketing child-care costs. “In American society, the way choice works has everything to do with child-care options, financial options,” Schwartz says. “When you talk about the idea of choice, are we just talking about false choices?” This episode originally aired on Sept. 5, 2024. Read, watch, and listen with the critics:@ballerinafarm@gwenthemilkmaid@naraazizasmith“How Lucky Blue and Nara Aziza Smith Made Viral Internet Fame From Scratch,” by Carrie Battan (GQ)“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” (2024–)@esteecwilliams“Mad Men” (2007-15)The Little House on the Prairie series, by Laura Ingalls Wilder“Wilder Women,” by Judith Thurman (The New Yorker)“Meet the Queen of the “Trad Wives” (and Her Eight Children),” by Megan Agnew (The Times of London) New episodes drop every Thursday.

FBI Director Kash Patel recently claimed on X that his agency has delivered on promises of "transparency," but the post was flagged with a Community Note adding context and pushback. The note reminded viewers that many documents tied to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein remain sealed or redacted, and questioned Patel's assertion that court orders were the main barrier to releasing full files. Critics say the claim glosses over this opacity.Patel's broader handling of the Epstein matter has drawn scrutiny from lawmakers, who pressed him on whether all relevant records have been reviewed or disclosed. In recent hearings, he declined to answer some questions — including how often former President Trump appears in the files — and defended the FBI's disclosures by saying they had released all "legally allowed" material.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Perimenopause is REAL and we're talking about it, ABFAB: Holly loves her Google TV Streamer and Jason raves about Philips Hue Gradient Lightstrips, and Taylor Swift responds to critics -- she invites the opinions!

Let's talk about something that every coach, creative, and entrepreneur secretly fears: critics and reviews.This episode was inspired by (who else?) Taylor Swift. When The Life of a Showgirl dropped last week, my feed exploded with reviews—some glowing, some downright vicious. And as I was sipping my coffee and scrolling through the noise, I found myself thinking a lot about what it means to show up, be visible, and share your work when you know not everyone's going to like it.Because here's the truth: they won't.I've been dealing with critics since I was ten years old—starting on Broadway, where a single bad review could close a show. Then later as a yoga teacher and studio owner, reading someone's nasty Yelp post about my class being “too alignment-based.” And now as a business and life coach, I see it every day: brilliant entrepreneurs holding themselves back because they're scared of what someone might think.In this episode, I'm sharing:Why the fear of judgment and rejection keeps so many entrepreneurs from growing their businessWhat Taylor Swift and Billy Joel can teach us about resilience, artistry, and creative longevityThe difference between constructive critique and destructive criticism—and why most haters aren't qualified to judge your workHow to build the mindset and self-trust that keep you grounded and confident in your businessWhy you can't and shouldn't be for everyone—and how niching down actually gives you more freedom and fulfillmentThe more passionate you are about your work, the scarier it can feel to put it out there. But this is me reminding you that your business will grow faster when you stop trying to please everyone and focus on the people who are truly for you.If you've ever struggled with visibility, rejection, or the fear of being judged, this episode will help you take a deep breath, stay in your lane, and keep showing up for the clients and community who get it.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

Bob Papa and Carl Banks preview the Giants' upcoming game against the Eagles, highlighting key strategies for victory. They stress the need to stop the run, play mistake-free football, and avoid allowing the Eagles to regain momentum, as they have struggled in their run game. While discussing the Giants' recent performance against the Saints, they note that one big play and offensive turnovers were costly. They also address criticism of Shane Bowen's defensive schemes, acknowledging that while the defense has been solid, there's room for improvement in capitalizing on turnovers. [00:01:23] — Giants vs. Eagles Preview Carl outlines what the Giants need to do against Philadelphia: stopping the run, handling the Eagles' balanced attack, and maintaining focus and mental stamina. [00:08:04] — Not Being the 'Get Right' Game Bob highlights Eagles' statistical struggles in the run game and stresses the Giants can't let this be Philadelphia's turnaround game. [00:11:17] — Giants' History Against the Eagles & Fan Frustration Discussion shifts to the Giants' poor record against Philadelphia when it matters, fan impatience, and why the team needs to earn back respect. [00:15:26] — Special Teams X-Factor Special teams importance: Both hosts talk about Philadelphia's big plays on special teams and why the Giants must play “error-free” in all three phases.

[00:36:21] — Defensive Execution & Interception Opportunities Emphasis on opportunities missed (dropped interceptions), defending the game plan's effectiveness, and how execution failed more than scheme. [00:42:50] — Who Steps Up for the Giants Offense? Conversation pivots to the offense: How Vic Fangio may counter the Giants' tight ends, and who needs to step up to make contested plays. [00:44:28] — Growth & Mistakes of Young Players Analysis of rookie mistakes, evolution of young Giants defenders, and the importance of incremental improvement.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover violent new attacks on ICE agents in Chicago and Portland, Trump's plan to federalize National Guard units, the shutdown of apps used to track ICE officers, a cash offer to illegal immigrants, a shocking Virginia political scandal, and global updates from Greenland to Ukraine, the UK, Gaza, and Africa. Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America and the world.   Violent Weekend on the Immigration Front: Radical activists in Chicago used phone apps to track ICE agents, boxed them in with ten cars, and rammed a federal vehicle. When the lead agitator, Marimar Martínez, brandished a gun, ICE agents fired back, lightly injuring her. Chicago police refused to assist, with supervisors citing sanctuary city laws. Trump responded by federalizing 300 Illinois National Guardsmen, saying, “If the governor won't protect federal officers, I will.”   Portland Judge Blocks Federal Guard Deployment: After months of violence and arson targeting federal buildings, Oregon's Judge Karin Immergut refused to let Trump deploy 200 Oregon Guardsmen. The White House will instead send California troops. City council member Angelita Morillo, an admitted Marxist, has been helping activists buy burner phones to coordinate attacks.   Apple and Google Drop Anti-ICE Apps: Following a Trump DOJ order, Apple and Google removed apps used to crowdsource ICE agent locations. Developers and activists called the move authoritarian, but DHS pointed to the weekend's attempted murder of ICE officers as proof the apps “facilitate organized violence, not free speech.”   Trump Expands “Pay to Leave” Immigration Program: Migrants aged 14 to 17 who entered illegally will now be offered $2,500 and a plane ticket home. Critics say the policy “coerces” children, but Trump argues it's cheaper and safer than detaining or deporting them. Reuters reports Guatemalan parents still refuse to take their kids back, preferring they keep working in the U.S.   Virginia Democrat Calls for Murder of GOP Speaker and Children: Attorney General candidate Jay Jones faces backlash for texting that Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his two young children “should be shot.” Fellow Democrat Abigail Spanberger defended him, saying, “Let those without sin cast the first stone.” Bryan warns, “The Left is openly dehumanizing children now — what happens when words become policy?”   Greenland's Rare Earth Deal with the U.S.: The Trump administration is negotiating an investment partnership with Greenland's Critical Metals Corp to secure rare earth minerals and limit Chinese control. Bryan calls it “the front line of America's Mineral Wars.”   China Feeding Intel to Russia in Ukraine: Beijing is providing targeting data that includes U.S.-owned facilities, dragging out the conflict to drain American stockpiles.   UK Scandal Over Chinese Spies: British PM Keir Starmer quashed espionage charges against two Chinese-linked researchers by refusing to label China an “enemy.” Bryan warns it's time to “pull the plug on Five Eyes intel sharing” until the UK gets serious about national security.   Trump's Gaza Peace Plan and Netanyahu's Pressure: Envoy Steve Witcoff and Jared Kushner head to Cairo to finalize a deal requiring Hamas to disarm or face “complete obliteration.” Netanyahu faces backlash from his coalition, which could collapse if Hamas keeps any political power.   Nigeria's Christian Genocide Expands: Islamist militants from Boko Haram and ISIS killed hundreds in northern Nigeria, driving thousands into Cameroon. Bryan warns Biden's CIA may be indirectly aiding jihadists to attack Russian and Chinese targets.   Medical News — Parkinson's and Back Pain Relief: South Korean researchers linked tooth bacteria to Parkinson's risk, while a German cannabis extract eased chronic back pain. Bryan reminds listeners, “Keep brushing and walking — the mind and body are more connected than we realize.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Chicago ICE attack Marimar Martínez, Trump federalizes Illinois National Guard, Chicago police sanctuary policy, Portland Judge Karin Immergut National Guard, Angelita Morillo Marxist burner phones, Apple Google anti-ICE apps removed, Trump migrant cash offer $2,500, Jay Jones Virginia AG murder text, Abigail Spanberger rage fuel comments, Greenland rare earth minerals Critical Metals Corp, China intel to Russia Ukraine war, Keir Starmer Chinese spies case UK, Trump Gaza peace plan Hamas disarmament, Nigeria Christian genocide Boko Haram ISIS, Parkinson's oral bacteria South Korea, German cannabis chronic back pain

Jean-Luc Brunel, the French modeling agent and longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead in his La Santé prison cell in Paris on February 19, 2022, in what authorities immediately labeled a suicide by hanging. Brunel had been under investigation for rape, sexual harassment, and the trafficking of minors, accused by several women—including Virginia Giuffre—of grooming and supplying underage models to Epstein and other powerful men. His death occurred before his case could reach trial, instantly reigniting suspicions about how another key figure in the Epstein network could die under eerily similar circumstances to Epstein himself. Victims expressed outrage, saying Brunel's death robbed them of justice and silenced a potential witness who might have revealed more about the structure and reach of Epstein's global operation.The official narrative—that Brunel's death was a suicide—sparked widespread skepticism and frustration across France and beyond. Reports emerged that Brunel had been on suicide watch previously, prompting questions about prison oversight, security lapses, and whether his death was preventable—or possibly convenient. Critics drew parallels to Epstein's own jailhouse death in 2019, arguing that both men's sudden “suicides” effectively closed critical avenues of investigation into elite sex-trafficking networks. French prosecutors confirmed no foul play was “immediately suspected,” but they acknowledged the timing and circumstances raised understandable public concern. To this day, Brunel's death remains shrouded in doubt, a haunting echo of a global scandal that continues to expose the failures of institutions to deliver full accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

When TRON: Legacy hit theaters in December 2010, Disney wasn't just reviving an old IP—they were resurrecting one of the strangest, most ambitious sci-fi concepts ever made. The original TRON from 1982 was a groundbreaking attempt to visualize the inside of a computer at a time when most people hadn't even touched one. It imagined programs as people, code as architecture, and morality as circuitry. It was visionary—and it bombed.By the 2000s, though, culture had caught up. The Matrix had turned cyberpunk into mainstream mythology, and the neon-noir look of Blade Runner had become visual shorthand for the future. Enter Joseph Kosinski—a former architect with a designer's precision—who re-engineered TRON not as a hacker fantasy, but as a digital myth about creation, perfection, and control.Garrett Hedlund plays Sam Flynn, son of Kevin Flynn, the hero from the first film, who vanished decades earlier. Sam follows a mysterious signal and is pulled into the Grid—his father's virtual world, now ruled by CLU, a digital clone obsessed with “perfection.” Within minutes, we're deep in a story that mirrors Star Wars: the fallen apprentice turned tyrant, the exiled master, the reluctant heir, and a world that must be remade. Kevin Flynn is both Obi-Wan and Yoda—haunted and withdrawn. CLU is his Darth Vader, a creation corrupted by its maker's arrogance.But the movie also borrows Matrix DNA. The Grid works like a virtual prison where sentient programs fight and dream of freedom. Quorra, played by Olivia Wilde, is the last of the “isomorphic algorithms,” lifeforms that evolved on their own—straight out of Ghost in the Shell's questions about digital souls. The film isn't about coding; it's about consciousness.Kosinski builds this world like a cathedral. Production designer Darren Gilford fills it with clean geometry and luminous voids. The suits by Michael Wilkinson and Christine Bieselin Clark refine Syd Mead's 1982 designs into sculpted futurism. And Daft Punk's score—half orchestra, half circuitry—turns the film into an electronic symphony. Even those who forgot the plot still remember that sound.Critics complained it was cold, that the script sounded like it was written by people who'd never heard of Google. My son Jonas nailed it: “This sounds like nobody who wrote it had heard of the internet.” And he's right. The film imagines computers as isolated kingdoms, not the networked web we actually live in. It's a pre-internet vision dressed in post-Matrix clothing.Yet that's what makes it fascinating. TRON: Legacy isn't really about technology—it's about fathers, sons, and the danger of mistaking perfection for love. Kevin Flynn's failure isn't technical; it's paternal. He built a world in his image and abandoned it. CLU inherited his father's obsession with order, and Sam inherited his resentment. The conflict isn't between man and machine—it's between generations.Kosinski would revisit that theme in Oblivion and Top Gun: Maverick: the architect of the system confronting the cost of control. TRON: Legacy is the prototype—a meditation on beauty, regret, and the limits of design.Fifteen years later, it feels almost prophetic. CLU's dream of a flawless system sounds uncomfortably close to the rhetoric of Silicon Valley. The movie's warning—that perfection becomes tyranny—lands harder in an age of algorithms, A.I., and curated identities. Its message is simple: imperfection is the only thing that makes us human.So tonight, as we gear up for TRON: Ares, we're putting Legacy on trial—not as a sequel that glitched, but as a digital myth that might've been too early for its own time. It's Star Wars rewritten by a coder, The Matrix without the leather, and Ghost in the Shell with a heartbeat.Load the disc. Power up the light cycles. Let's head back to the Grid.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Prince Andrew has struggled to adapt to civilian life since his disgrace, with biographers and commentators suggesting he was never equipped for it. His entire adult identity was shaped by status, ceremonial duty, and military association, leaving him ill-prepared to navigate a life without privilege. The biography Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York paints him as adrift, without the motivation or skills to pursue meaningful work outside the royal framework. Reports describe his days as mostly empty, filled with golf, television, and private routines that underscore a lack of purpose or direction.Critics emphasize that Andrew's sense of identity remains tied to the royal status he lost, making civilian reinvention especially difficult. Sources close to him say he is frustrated and resentful over being permanently stripped of his titles and public duties, with some observers noting he appears “spent” without a formal role. His diminished finances, shrinking public relevance, and tense family dynamics compound the problem, reinforcing the image of a man unable to carve out a path beyond the privileges of monarchy.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico was a sprawling 10,000-acre compound in Santa Fe County that became one of the most infamous properties linked to his alleged sex-trafficking network. A portion of the land—roughly 1,200 acres—was not privately owned but leased from the New Mexico State Land Office through Epstein's shell company, Cypress Inc., under an agricultural land-use contract. State officials later revealed that the lease had been maintained for decades without oversight or genuine agricultural activity, effectively allowing Epstein to use public land as a privacy buffer for his secluded estate. After Epstein's 2019 arrest and death, the New Mexico State Land Office canceled the lease, citing violations of public trust and misuse of state property. Investigations showed that Epstein's lease terms, which were intended for grazing, were instead used to create restricted access zones around the compound, preventing entry onto land that technically belonged to the people of New Mexico.Epstein also took advantage of New Mexico's age of consent laws, which set the legal threshold at 17 years old, to minimize his legal exposure in the state. When he moved operations to Zorro Ranch after his 2008 conviction in Florida, New Mexico officials determined that because his victim in that case had been 17, he did not meet the criteria to register as a sex offender under their state laws. This legal loophole allowed him to reside and travel freely in New Mexico without the stigma or restrictions of public registration. Critics later called the decision “deeply troubling,” noting that Epstein's influence, wealth, and legal resources enabled him to exploit state-level legal distinctions to shield himself from scrutiny. The combination of public land privilege and lenient age statutes made Zorro Ranch a legal gray zone—one that Epstein used to his advantage until the state finally revoked his land rights years after his death.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jean-Luc Brunel, the French modeling agent and longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead in his La Santé prison cell in Paris on February 19, 2022, in what authorities immediately labeled a suicide by hanging. Brunel had been under investigation for rape, sexual harassment, and the trafficking of minors, accused by several women—including Virginia Giuffre—of grooming and supplying underage models to Epstein and other powerful men. His death occurred before his case could reach trial, instantly reigniting suspicions about how another key figure in the Epstein network could die under eerily similar circumstances to Epstein himself. Victims expressed outrage, saying Brunel's death robbed them of justice and silenced a potential witness who might have revealed more about the structure and reach of Epstein's global operation.The official narrative—that Brunel's death was a suicide—sparked widespread skepticism and frustration across France and beyond. Reports emerged that Brunel had been on suicide watch previously, prompting questions about prison oversight, security lapses, and whether his death was preventable—or possibly convenient. Critics drew parallels to Epstein's own jailhouse death in 2019, arguing that both men's sudden “suicides” effectively closed critical avenues of investigation into elite sex-trafficking networks. French prosecutors confirmed no foul play was “immediately suspected,” but they acknowledged the timing and circumstances raised understandable public concern. To this day, Brunel's death remains shrouded in doubt, a haunting echo of a global scandal that continues to expose the failures of institutions to deliver full accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Red tape delays permit issuance, possibly benefiting real estate speculators, including foreign buyers. There is concern that political leaders are pushing to reshape these communities by moving in tall, low-cost housing. 915-930 Economic Slowdown Evident in Local Consumer Spending and Housing Guest Name: Jim McTague Summary:Despite lower gas prices in Lancaster County, a ripple effect from declining Asian imports is expected. Consumer caution remains high, with "English" shoppers buying essentials and avoiding expensive electronics. Local diners show less vibrancy, suggesting the economy has lost "some spring in its step." High-end real estate sales have also notably "dried up." 930-945 HEADLINE: Trump's War on Cartels and Venezuela Intervention; Supreme Court Takes Up Federal Reserve Governor Firing Case GUEST NAME: Richard Epstein SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Richard Epstein about President Trump's "war" against drug cartels and potential Venezuela intervention, which Epstein deems unlawful executive overreach due to congressional inertia.

Its path brings it within about 20 million miles of Mars, but it is currently blocked by the sun. NASA and European teams are attempting to get data using Mars orbiters and rovers, though the resolution may not match Webb's spectroscopy. Europe is also considering re-aiming the Juice mission. 1045-1100 Webb Telescope Challenges Cosmology Theories with 'Little Red Dots' Guest Name: Bob Zimmerman Summary:The Webb Space Telescope is finding mysterious "little red dots" in the very early universe, observed via infrared due to redshift. Astronomers speculate these might be supermassive black holes, which shouldn't exist so early, challenging the Big Bang theory itself. About 30% of these dots do not appear compact when viewed in ultraviolet light, resembling galaxies instead.

Many think that science has disproven God, or at least shown that He is superfluous. Nothing could be further from the case. I show how science cannot, even in principle, disprove God's existence. I also examine whether science has truly been able to explain the things God has typically been invoked to explain such as the origin of the universe, the origin of life, and the diversity of life. In the process, I talk about why Darwinian evolution fails and why theists are not committing the God of the gaps fallacy. Web: ThinkingtoBelieve.comEmail: ThinkingToBelieve@gmail.comFacebook: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieveTwitter & Gettr: @thinking2believTruth: @ThinkingToBelieveParler: @thinkingtobelieve

October 3, 2025, turned into another reminder that Jeffrey Epstein's ghost still looms large over politics, culture, and public life. On the National Mall, a guerrilla statue of Donald Trump and Epstein holding hands was reinstalled, sparking outrage, laughter, and confusion from passersby while reigniting conversations about Epstein's ties to the powerful. Across the Atlantic, Hartlepool Council voted unanimously to strip Lord Peter Mandelson of his “Freedom of the Borough” honor, citing his associations with Epstein as incompatible with the town's values—a stinging rebuke for the former Labour heavyweight in his old political stronghold. Both stories underscored the theme that proximity to Epstein remains a toxic liability, even years after his death.Meanwhile, in Washington, Rep. Jimmy Gomez added a dose of satirical flair with a parody movie poster titled “Forgetting Jeffrey Epstein,” a direct jab at Trump that spread rapidly across social media. Critics dismissed it as childish, while supporters praised it as a cultural weapon that keeps the scandal in circulation. Taken together, the statue, the borough vote, and the meme illustrate how Epstein's legacy refuses to fade, resurfacing in art, politics, and public ridicule. The powerful may beg for the world to “move on,” but cultural memory—and a heavy dose of sarcasm—keeps dragging Epstein's shadow back into the spotlight.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

On this episode the editors dive deep into our fall AT issue with dramaturg/journalist Dezi Tibbs, then dig into Latin American representation with playwright-performer John Leguizamo.

The story begins with a shadowy figure using the alias “Patrick Kessler,” who contacted high-profile lawyers claiming he had access to an encrypted archive of Epstein's surveillance footage — including videos allegedly implicating powerful individuals. Kessler persuaded respected attorneys like David Boies and John Pottinger to engage with him, proposing schemes in which those incriminated would pay large private settlements (some proceeds earmarked for victims) to keep the footage hidden. The lawyers—even while representing Epstein's accusers—were accused of attempting to profit by holding this “evidence” hostage. Over months of negotiations, The New York Times was brought in as a possible media outlet to pressure the men on the so-called “hot list.” But none of the promised videos ever materialized, and Kessler later claimed his servers were destroyed in a fire, forcing him to flee.Critics argue that Boies's deep involvement in the Kessler scheme blurred ethical lines: a lawyer advocating for victims who also appeared poised to monetize secret evidence placed him in a conflicted position. The Times, meanwhile, has been faulted for its handling of the story—reporting Kessler's claims without sufficiently flagging how unverified they were, or how they played into an opportunistic playbook of legal maneuvering over actual justice. Some see the Kessler-Boies-Times saga as illustrative of how even institutions considered pillars of integrity can become complicit in obfuscation, leveraging sensational claims for influence rather than holding the powerful accountable.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Vicky Ward has also spoken about how her reporting on Jeffrey Epstein was later pitched to The New Yorker, but the magazine ultimately declined to pursue the story in depth. Ward has suggested that despite the seriousness of the allegations she uncovered, the piece never gained traction within that outlet, reflecting the same pattern she faced at Vanity Fair—powerful figures like Epstein being shielded by editorial caution and institutional hesitance. For Ward, it was another instance where the truth about Epstein was sidelined, leaving his predatory behavior hidden behind layers of influence and reputation management.The failure of The New Yorker to move forward with her material has since drawn scrutiny, especially as Epstein's crimes became undeniable years later. Critics argue that such editorial decisions allowed Epstein to continue exploiting victims while the media, knowingly or not, became complicit in protecting his image. Ward herself has characterized these experiences as emblematic of the broader problem: wealthy, well-connected men could lean on their power to keep journalists and publications from exposing them. In hindsight, the missed opportunity by The New Yorker is seen as part of a troubling media pattern that delayed accountability and enabled Epstein's longevity.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Sal and BT argue that Yankees manager Aaron Boone receives an unfair and overblown amount of criticism, especially after a playoff series win. While acknowledging the pressure of managing the Yankees without a championship, Sal defends Boone's temperament as perfect for New York and insists the critique that Boone lacks independent baseball thinking is "ludicrous" and disrespectful to a three-generation baseball lifer. They suggest that the team's roster has been inferior to previous Yankee championship teams, and Boone's management is often unfairly judged only by results, not by his actual talent for the job. Sal notes that while he was likely safe after the win, a loss would have likely led to his unfair firing.

Today on The Shawn Bolz Show we're tackling two stories that could shape the future of nations and freedoms around the world.

Zo remembers that time when he spent time in Los Angeles back in the 80's and he had the most peculiar experience. It was a nice hot day even though it was around Halloween, so he thought he'd stop for a delicious treat at a nearby ice cream truck that happened to be nearby. The operator of the truck was relaxing in the passenger seat with the door open just chillin' out apparently. As Zo walked up to the chap he noticed how pale he was and that he wore all black clothes. Zo asked for an ice cream sandwich and the guy cheerfully got up and walked on over to the storage compartment at the side of the truck. He opened the compartment and handed over the sandwich and Zo handed over his change. Zo remarked on the older boy's appearance; he appeared to be a high school senior, asking him if he was getting an early start for Halloween dressed as a vampire. The guy freaked out hissing and screamed "I'M NOT WEARING A COSTUME!" Zo walked away worried about the man's mental health, but at least the ice cream was good. Episode Segments00:03:26 Opening Credits for Once Bitten starring Lauren Hutton, Jim Carrey, and Karen Kopins00:12:44 Favorite Parts of the 1985 film: Once Bitten01:08:45 Trivia from the horror teen romcom: Once Bitten01:18:29 Critics' Thoughts on Howard Storm's Once Bitten Once Bitten Dance Scene -  https://youtu.be/MyPc-1QdzSE?si=U5PpLotJI80krZOt #OnceBitten #JimCarrey Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: fanmail@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Over the course of his three-decade career, the director Paul Thomas Anderson has dramatized the nineteen-seventies porn industry (“Boogie Nights”), the Californian oil boom (“There Will Be Blood”), and a mid-century London fashion house (“Phantom Thread”). Now he's trained his gaze on present-day America. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss Anderson's latest: the sprawling, surprisingly political blockbuster “One Battle After Another.” They contextualize the new work within his œuvre—and debate what his portrayal of militant left-wing activists and the white-supremacist right has to say about the state of the nation. “I think our present reality has far outstripped most depictions of it,” Schwartz says. “Slipping it into this kind of caper—is that delivering us to somewhere that gets people to think or to look or to feel?”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“One Battle After Another” (2025)“Vineland,” by Thomas Pynchon“Inherent Vice” (2014)“Boogie Nights” (1997)“The Master” (2012)“Punch-Drunk Love” (2002)“There Will Be Blood” (2007)“Phantom Thread” (2017)“ ‘Eddington' and the American Berserk” (The New Yorker)Gil Scott-Heron's “The Revolution Will Not be Televised”New episodes drop every Thursday.

Critics argue that the Epstein–Maxwell–Prince Andrew saga showcased the two-tier justice system in stark relief. Epstein's infamous 2008 Florida plea deal, which let him plead guilty to lesser state charges and avoid sweeping federal prosecution, has been described as the clearest example of justice bending for the powerful. Critics note that any ordinary defendant facing similar charges would likely have received decades in federal prison rather than a lenient sentence that allowed Epstein day release and minimal oversight.In contrast, Maxwell became the only major figure from Epstein's circle to face a lengthy prison term, while many alleged co-conspirators avoided charges altogether. Prince Andrew, despite being accused in a civil suit brought by Virginia Giuffre, evaded criminal liability entirely and settled quietly out of court without admitting wrongdoing. To survivors and legal critics, the contrast makes clear that elite figures with wealth, influence, and royal status have means to shield themselves from consequences that others would inevitably face.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A federal grand jury has indicted former FBI Director James Comey on charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice, a move sought by Trump's newly appointed prosecutor. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Comey repeatedly lied to Congress about leaks and surveillance of Trump's campaign, citing FISA abuses, the Russia probe, and the targeting of Michael Flynn through an illegal wiretap.  Critics including Lindsey Graham contend Comey withheld exculpatory evidence about the Clinton campaign's role in fabricating Russiagate, undermining the rule of law. Jimmy frames the indictment as overdue accountability for Comey, while also warning that political prosecutions reflect deeper corruption in the U.S. justice system. Plus segments on Google's recent admission that the company caved to Biden administration demands to censor COVID related content and the recent embrace by U.S. government figures of former Al Qaeda leader and current Syria president Ahmed al-Sharaa. Also featuring Mike MacRae, John Kiriakou & Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Kamala Supporter!
