Challenging the Crooked Establishment in Sicily. Guest Author: Josiah Osgood. The Roman Republic's political landscape was heavily influenced by money, a reality exemplified by the case of Verres. Verres was the governor of Sicily, the vital "breadbasket" of Rome, where he systematically plundered art and embezzled funds. Although Cicero usually preferred defense work to earn favors, he made a strategic decision to prosecute Verres on behalf of the Sicilians. This choice was influenced by a shifting political tide and the support of powerful figures like Pompey, who wanted a symbolic cleanup of government corruption. Verres was a well-connected billionaire and a former follower of the dictator Sulla, making the prosecution a high-risk endeavor for Cicero. Cicero positioned himself as a crusading outsider fighting against a "crooked establishment" to protect the interests of the Roman people. By taking on this case, Cicero aimed to prove that he could challenge the most entrenched members of the Senate. This trial solidified his image as a hero of the law who was willing to confront the wealthy and powerful when he had the necessary political backing. 2CARTHAGE

So Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is out there saying, “Italy and I never beg.” Strong line. Very cinematic. You can almost hear the orchestral music and see the wind machine doing its thing.But then comes the part that makes you tilt your head like a confused newsroom intern: the suggestion that the leader of the United States shows up, and somehow there's resistance to the photo op. With Donald Trump.Now pause right there. Because in today's political ecosystem, Trump could walk into a room, solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded, donate a million dollars to charity, and the headline would still somehow be: “Man With Opinions Causes Mild Atmospheric Disturbance.”So when Meloni says she doesn't understand why the President behaves this way toward allies, and that it's “a pity he doesn't show the same determination with the enemies of the West,” I have questions. Not rhetorical ones. Real ones. The kind that come with raised eyebrows and a slow sip of coffee.First, “behaves this way” is doing a lot of emotional lifting there. That phrase is like a diplomatic suitcase stuffed with assumptions, interpretations, and at least three editorial board meetings.Because what exactly is the behavior?Is it negotiating aggressively? Is it not doing the usual global handshake ballet where everyone agrees on everything in public and contradicts it in private? Or is it simply that Trump doesn't perform the “everyone is my best friend” theater that global politics has quietly standardized?And this is where the irony starts doing gymnastics.We're told constantly that Trump is unpredictable, brash, difficult. Yet somehow he's also the only president who manages to trigger simultaneous confusion and moral disappointment across continents for not behaving like a polite bureaucratic suggestion box.Meanwhile, the idea that leaders might not always be thrilled about photo ops with him gets treated like breaking news. As if international diplomacy is supposed to be a yearbook signing session where everyone writes, “Stay cool, best ally ever.”But let's step back into Meloni's critique: why not show the same determination with the enemies of the West?That's the part that sounds noble until you realize the assumption baked inside it. It assumes everyone agrees on who the enemies are, how you “show determination,” and what counts as effective action versus performative action.Because in modern geopolitics, “determination” can mean anything from sanctions, to speeches, to carefully worded statements that are strong enough to trend on social media but soft enough to survive translation.So here's the quiet question underneath all of it: are we talking about real policy disagreement, or are we talking about style disagreement dressed up as moral clarity?Because style is where things get interesting.Trump operates like a geopolitical highlighter. He doesn't just underline the sentence, he circles it three times and writes “FIX THIS” in the margin. That's not subtle. That's not delicate. But it is unmistakable.And unmistakable is something global politics often pretends it doesn't need, while secretly relying on it when things get messy.Now add the media layer, and the whole thing becomes a hall of mirrors with press passes.One leader says something. Another reacts. A third interprets the reaction. Then analysts interpret the interpretation. And somewhere in there, the original sentence has evolved into something that barely resembles its birth certificate.So when headlines suggest tension, disagreement, or “pity,” what I hear is something simpler: different expectations colliding in a very public room with very expensive lighting.And let's be honest, photo politics matters more than people admit. A picture with a world leader is no longer just a picture. It's a signal. It's a caption waiting to be written by someone who already knows the ending they want.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I start this episode with two brutal murder cases that shook the West. Henry Nowak, a young British man, was stabbed multiple times by a Sikh attacker and tragically died in handcuffs after being falsely accused of racism, while Austin Metcalf, a promising athlete, was stabbed to death at a track meet by an entitled peer. Both cases highlight the failures of justice, soft sentencing, and the dangerous exploitation of racial accusations. I reflect on how these crimes expose societal vulnerabilities and the broader decay in law and order.Then I dive into political scandals and criticism, focusing on Joe and Jill Biden, the ongoing E. Jean Carroll saga, and the media's handling of Trump. I discuss the four-year coverup of Biden's cognitive decline, Jill Biden's role, and the DOJ's investigation of Carroll's lawsuit funding. I call out media figures like Kristen Welker and Scott Pelley as biased or incompetent, while touching on election irregularities, global communism, and the weaponization of lawfare in the U.S.Finally, I cover sports updates (NBA Finals, NFL controversies), money & investment insights, life in Medellín, Colombia, gender roles & dating trends, and so much more.
Trump clashes with Kristen Welker in a stormy Wisconsin sit‑down, rips NBC over “rigged” elections, then abruptly walks off Meet the Press after calling the network “crooked” in a heated exchange.
Howie Kurtz on Democratic candidate Graham Platner calling the laundry list of personal criticisms all 'politically motivated', President Trump storming out of 'Meet the Press' interview, and HHS Sec.

John welcomes back Politico's Jonathan Martin to discuss the Texas Senate race: how scandal-soaked Attorney General Ken Paxton thrashed incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the GOP primary run-off; Democratic nominee James Talarico's “race against time” to define himself before Paxton's effort to cast him as a weak, weird, ultra-woke vegan sinks in with voters; and whether Democrats are once again chasing fool's gold in Texas or the race is a genuine toss-up. JMart also unpacks the latest episode of his “On The Road” YouTube series, featuring Pennsylvania governor and likely 2028 presidential candidate Josh Shapiro.

But what people may not know is that Dragon Quest, a Japanese game, was heavily influenced by Wizardry - Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, an American role-playing game released in 1981, and I played this, too, as a kid, which makes me old, and I'm still angry about that. So make me happy already, and pitch me an American video game, movie, book or TV show that would be massively improved by a Japanese take on it. Tell me what would be changed and why it would be better, and preferably, without being racist at all. Because that will make me REALLY angry. Best pitch wins and gets two episode points.

Does political violence ever help a social cause? Zayd Ayers Dohrn, playwright and host of Crooked's "Mother Country Radicals," joins Offline to discuss the complicated legacy of radical activism in America. In his new book, Dangerous, Dirty, Violent, and Young, Zayd dives even deeper into the morally ambiguous decisions made by his parents...two founding members of the notorious Weather Underground. He and Jon contemplate what activist actions lead to mass alienation vs. adoption of ideals, why a generation of Americans gravitated towards political violence in the 1970s...and why it's happening again today.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

What happens when everything you've built… disappears overnight?In this powerful episode of Dancing in the Discomfort Zone, Anne Bonney sits down with Lisa Pagotto, founder of Crooked Compass (https://www.crooked-compass.com/) to talk about resilience, reinvention, and the courage to lead when there is absolutely no clear path forward.When the pandemic shut down global travel, Lisa's entire business came to a halt for nearly three years. No revenue. No team. No roadmap. Most people would have waited it out.Lisa? She learned how to fly… and accidentally built a second business that saved the first.This conversation is packed with real-world lessons on: Leading before there's proof (and why waiting is a trap) The truth about resilience (hint: it's NOT “just push harder”) How to recognize burnout before it breaks you Why discomfort, travel, and uncertainty make you stronger The mindset shift that turns crisis into opportunityAnd here's the truth most people don't want to hear:

Republican U.S. Senate candidates Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron make last‑minute campaign stops across Kentucky as the primary approaches, Louisville city leaders detail plans for nearly $1 billion in new state funding, a longtime member of the Kentucky General Assembly passes away, and a Laurel County neighborhood devastated by last year's deadly tornado continues its path toward recovery.
The South Carolina Supreme Court didn't split on this. All five justices agreed — Becky Hill's comments to the jury during Alex Murdaugh's murder trial were improper enough to reverse the conviction. The court found Hill told jurors not to be fooled by defense evidence, to watch Murdaugh's body language, and that deliberations shouldn't take long. Her motive, according to the ruling: a book deal that needed a guilty verdict to sell. Hill pled guilty to perjury in December 2025 for lying about her actions under oath.The justices also took apart former Chief Justice Jean Toal's handling of the new trial motion. Toal applied the wrong legal standard, putting the burden on Murdaugh instead of requiring the State to prove the comments couldn't have influenced the verdict. The court said the State failed that test. Toal also improperly questioned individual jurors about whether the Clerk's statements changed their votes — a direct violation of jury deliberation protections.The ruling sets boundaries for retrial. Prosecutors spent twelve-plus hours on financial crimes evidence the first time around. The court called it excessive and ordered any future trial to limit that material to evidence directly tied to the motive theory. AG Alan Wilson says the State will retry. Murdaugh remains incarcerated on his financial convictions.At the same time, our ongoing interview with Blanca Simpson — the Murdaugh family's housekeeper for fifteen years — continues to surface details the first investigation apparently had no interest in pursuing. An unidentified truck at the property. A tractor with a digging bucket heading toward the fields. Alex asking Blanca to confirm a shirt she knew he wasn't wearing. And SLED allegedly telling her to get professional help when she tried to share what she saw.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In honor of May, Our Lady's Month, Joe and Gretalyn each bring a favorite Marian poem by G.K. Chesterton to share with the other—without any advance coordination. Gretalyn reads "Images," a meditation on six titles from the Litany of Loreto drawn from Chesterton's 1926 collection Queen of the Seven Swords, while Joe shares "Crooked," a lesser-known 1933 poem from GK's Weekly that captures a more introspective, mature side of his Marian devotion. Together they explore what these poems reveal about Chesterton's lifelong love for Our Lady, the apologetics of Marian devotion, and the paradox at the heart of his faith: that the world only looks right when you learn to see it through her. In This Episode: How Chesterton's "Images" weaves six titles from the Litany of Loreto—Mirror of Justice, Tower of David, House of Gold, Tower of Ivory, Ark of the Covenant, and Seat of Wisdom—into richly layered verse Why 1926, the year Frances Chesterton entered the Church, gives "Images" a deeper biographical resonance What it means when Marian devotion troubles someone, and why Joe and Gretalyn suggest that reaction is worth examining carefully Chesterton's Marian apologetics in Lepanto—and the single line that cuts to the heart of the controversy What "Crooked" reveals about a quieter, more subdued Chesterton in 1933, writing in the shadow of a world beginning to come apart Chapters: 00:00: Introduction & May as Our Lady's Month 02:36: Gretalyn Reads "Images" 07:06: Unpacking the Litany of Loreto 11:03: Chesterton's Lifelong Marian Devotion 14:38: Mary as a Touchpoint for Converts 21:16: Mary in Scripture: Luke and the Magnificat 23:59: Lepanto and the Defense of Mary 27:51: Joe Reads "Crooked" 28:17: Discussion of "Crooked" 33:16: Chesterton's Mature Mariology Resources Mentioned: I Also Had My Hour: An Alternative Autobiography of G.K.

Episode 381: DJ CUTSO "The DNA of the Bay — From Banning Hyphy to DJ Mustard Adopting the Sound" The legendary @Cutso joins the ROAD Podcast to break down the DNA of the Bay Area scene, the evolution of turntablism, and the reality of balancing a high-level DJ career with a corporate tech job. We dive into his viral "ROAD Talk" interview from NAMM 2026 (2:55), where he addresses the entitlement of new DJs and a social media culture that causes artists to focus on the wrong metrics. Cutso reflects on the "Relationship Economy" and why you cannot get booked without being in the room, while tracing his roots back to the 90s, and the "quick mixing" style that defined the Bay (8:23). He recounts the early influence of MC Hammer and the reverence for D-Styles mixtapes, comparing them to baseball trading cards for the Hip Hop community (13:55). The conversation shifts to the rise and fall of turntablism, exploring how the genre moved from MTV back to the underground before social media re-ignited interest in technical skills (19:42), alongside the divide between Jiggy and Backpack Hip Hop. We tackle the "Great Heist" of the Bay Area sound, debating how the "Mustard Era" effectively mainstreamed a signature NorCal aesthetic (40:35), and explore the @FrandalayBay connection that brought Hyphy to Vegas while it was still banned in Bay Area clubs (24:20). Cutso shares stories of being kicked out of booths for playing "Burn Rubber" (28:26) and provides a candid look at San Jose, from the "Crypto-House" scene to the economic crisis and tech layoffs impacting local venues. After discussing Hollywood's disconnect from LA culture, and Crooked's infamous night at Club Wet (50:05), Cutso opens up about the "Dual Life" of juggling a corporate career with DJing (1:09:15), finding discipline through Kung Fu (1:19:01), and why open format DJs are built to survive shifting musical trends (1:48:24).

Episode 380: DJ HABIBEATS: "The Palestinian Pioneer of Arabic Club Music" In this episode of the ROAD podcast, the crew welcomes @DJHabibeats for a deep dive into his meteoric rise and the evolution of the global Arab club scene. The conversation begins with a recap of his recent milestones (1:45) and a look at his expanding international tour schedule, including his highly anticipated set at the @Coachella @TheDoLab. Habibeats addresses his infectious energy behind the decks and explains how he utilizes his open format roots to represent Arabic house music by drawing from a rich, worldwide musical heritage (13:50). As the market for Arab music parties grows, he discusses the healthy competition in the scene, the logistical challenges of touring, and the importance of prioritizing health and team building while on the road (21:01). The dialogue shifts toward the business of music as Habibeats talks about signing with a new agency and his creative process for tracks like "Hayati", while Crooked draws parallels between the sub-genres of Latin and Arabic music (32:20). The DJs get technical about their preference for playing tracks at +4 pitch, leading to a discussion on how music acts as a bridge between cultures in a divided world (37:15). Habibeats shares his philosophy on dealing with openers and how the "third culture" experience shaped the entire crew's upbringing (48:24). Later, they tackle "front row red flags" and the need for audiences to be present rather than just filming (55:01), before exploring the broken state of music distribution and how Gen Z interacts with new releases (1:00:01). The episode concludes with a look at his favorite producers (1:18:01), the value of saying "no" to protect his brand, and a hilarious story about a super-fan in Delhi, ending on a reflective note about using his platform to showcase his unique perspective (1:36:22).
