NEW YORK, NY - In this week's episode of The Rugby Odds, host Matt McCarthy is joined by:

In early 2025, headlines announced that the Trump administration would move to dramatically slash USAID—the United States' flagship development agency. For many, the move was surprising, even self-defeating: why would a president so focused on countering China weaken one of Washington's most effective tools of soft power? At the same time, China's development finance continues to expand, and geopolitical competition over infrastructure intensifies, raising alarm bells across Washington and beyond. To help us make sense of this moment—and the broader politics of foreign aid—we're joined by Jack Taggart, an expert on global governance and development, who discusses what these cuts mean for U.S. strategy, China's rise, and the contested terrain of development and aid in today's world. BIO: Jack Taggart is a Senior Lecturer in International Political Economy at Queen's University Belfast. His research spans international political economy, global governance, and global development, focusing on shifting dynamics in development cooperation, such as the rise of new state and private actors, aid financialization, and development finance transformations. He also examines global governance institutions and the growing role of “multistakeholderism” in areas ranging from economic policy to environmental treaties.

Cybersecurity risks have become more complex and unpredictable than ever, yet many companies struggle to quantify these threats in terms that truly matter. How can CFOs and CISOs effectively communicate about risk, make smart security investments, and navigate the emerging challenges posed by AI? In this episode, CJ interviews Andy Ellis, a renowned cybersecurity leader, former CISO of Akamai, investor, director, advisor, leadership coach, and author of the book 1% Leadership. Andy unpacks why most companies measure risk the wrong way and breaks down his "Pyramid of Pain” framework for categorizing it. He discusses the dynamics between CFOs and CISOs in purchasing security tools, demystifies security budgeting and vendor negotiations, dives into the evolving role of AI in security operations, and explains why the CISO and CIO roles are on a collision course. Andy also reveals insider stories from the frontlines of major breaches, shares a compelling risk analogy inspired by vampires and zombies, and clears up once and for all why the demise of the Death Star was not a failure of risk management.—LINKS:Andy Ellis on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/csoandyAndy Ellis on X: (@CSOAndy) https://x.com/csoandyWebsite: https://www.csoandy.com1% Leadership: https://www.amazon.com/1-Leadership-Master-Improvements-Leaders/dp/0306830817How to CISO: https://www.howtociso.comDuha One: CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: —TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:49) Sponsor – Rillet | Pulley | Brex(07:23) Defining Risk: Technical & Human-Friendly Perspectives(09:20) Actuarial Risk Versus Human-Driven Risk(15:33) Why the Demise of the Death Star Wasn't a Failure of Risk Management(16:58) Sponsor – Aleph | RightRev | Navan(21:22) How the Death Star Metaphor Relates to Real-World Security Breaches(23:20) Why Risk Should Not Be Quantified in Dollar Terms(25:15) The Pyramid of Pain: Risk Severity and Surprise Levels(30:21) How CFOs and CISOs Should Partner on Security Purchases(34:03) Are Security Budgets Over or Under-Spent?(36:22) Balancing Budget for Security Tools and People(39:48) Tips for FP&As on Brokering the Security Budget With Your CISO(44:10) Factoring AI Uncertainty in a Three-Year Security Roadmap(46:38) AI Washing in Security Products and Realistic Impact(48:55) The Limitations of Security Operations(50:53) The Future of CIO and CISO Roles and Organizational Reporting(54:55) Why IT Shouldn't Report to the CFO(57:18) Israeli Unit 8200 and Cybersecurity Innovation(59:50) Startups Versus Public Companies: Differing Risk Models(1:02:52) Wrap—SPONSORS:Rillet is the AI-native ERP modern finance teams are switching to because it's faster, simpler, and 100% built for how teams operate today.

Vernon Oakes interviews Ginger Rumph, Executive Director of the Douglass Community Land Trust (Douglass CLT), and Silvia Inéz Salazar, Co-president of the 1417 N Street, NW Cooperative. Together, they explore the collaboration between their organizations and share insights into their ongoing initiatives. Ginger Rumph is the founding Executive Director of the Douglass CLT, a nonprofit dedicated to racial and economic equity through community-led land ownership and permanently affordable housing. While establishing Douglass CLT, she also led City First Homes, overseeing over 200 affordable units and implementing strong stewardship systems. Ginger brings decades of experience in housing and community development. She previously served as Vice President and COO of the Coalition for Nonprofit Housing & Economic Development (CNHED), where she directed policy, advocacy, fundraising, and operations. At Enterprise Community Partners, she managed national reporting systems and promoted best practices. In her hometown of Pittsburgh, she held leadership roles in housing coalitions, worked in real estate development, and served in county government revitalizing vacant properties. A former Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic, she continues to practice Spanish through music. Ginger holds master's degrees in public administration and social work from the University of Pittsburgh. Silvia Inéz Salazar is Co-president of the 1417 N Street, NW Cooperative in Washington, DC's Logan Circle, representing 83 diverse working families. Her leadership began in 2005 when she co-founded a tenant association to address dangerous housing conditions, including over 200 code violations. She mobilized residents against displacement and gentrification, building partnerships with legal, government, and community organizations. Silvia collaborated with the Latino Economic Development Center to produce The Demise of Condo-Zilla, a bilingual children's play that brought media attention to their struggle. She also led a partnership with the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian to showcase Mayan art by tenants. Legal efforts secured $500,000 in pro bono support, ultimately helping residents purchase the building and form a cooperative. Beyond her housing work, Silvia has served as board chair for several justice-focused organizations and currently leads the Douglass Community Land Trust. Since 2003, she has worked at the NIH, advancing health equity through research and advocacy.

Today, we’re talking about greyhound racing. Specifically, whether or not there is a movement for it to be banned. Earlier this week, the Tasmanian Government announced it will ban greyhound racing in the next five years. The state cited concerns about animal welfare and declining viewership as key factors in the decision. And just yesterday, new costing analysis suggested that Victoria could actually save hundreds of millions of dollars if they were to also follow suit. Today we're breaking it all down.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the cosmic drama unfolding in our universe, featuring a doomed exoplanet, new revelations about Mars, and the latest crew aboard the International Space Station.The Death Spiral of TOI 2109bAstronomers are closely monitoring the death spiral of TOI 2109b, an exoplanet located over 870 light-years away. This gas giant, nearly five times the mass of Jupiter, completes an orbit around its host star in just 16 hours, making it the closest hot Jupiter discovered to date. Researchers from Macquarie University have found that the planet's orbit is decaying, leading to three potential end scenarios: being torn apart by tidal forces, plunging into its host star, or losing its gaseous envelope to intense radiation. These findings provide valuable insights into planetary evolution and the fate of gas giants in close orbits.New Insights into Mars's Ancient SurfaceA recent study has identified a new type of iron sulfate on Mars, suggesting significant geothermal and chemical activity on the planet's surface. Researchers have characterized this uncommon mineral, which may represent a new type due to its unique crystalline structure. The discovery sheds light on how heat, water, and chemical reactions have shaped Mars, and indicates that the planet may have been more geologically active than previously thought. This research enhances our understanding of Mars's potential to have supported life in its past.New Crew Arrives at the International Space StationNASA has successfully delivered a new crew to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule. The crew, consisting of two Americans, a Russian, and a Japanese astronaut, will replace colleagues who have been aboard since March. As NASA considers extending crew stays from six to eight months to reduce costs, the new team is set to contribute to ongoing research and operations in low Earth orbit.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journalhttps://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1538-4357Nature Journalhttps://www.nature.com/nature/NASA's International Space Stationhttps://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 This is space Time Series 28, Episode 97 for broadcast on 13 August 202500:42 Astronomers are tracking the death spiral of a doomed planet more than 870 light years away12:06 ToI 2109 is one of the most interesting systems that we've got17:06 Scientists have identified a new type of iron sulfate on the Red Planet23:47 NASA has delivered four new crew members to the International Space Station aboard SpaceX Dragon25:10 New study claims consuming three fries a week increases risk of developing type 2 diabetes26:13 Google about to offer AI study tools to college students for free29:53 You've got to check for updates on all your Apple devices

The provided text explains the Smith-Mundt Act, a 1948 U.S. law designed to prevent the domestic dissemination of American government-produced propaganda, while allowing its use abroad to promote U.S. values. It highlights the historical context of the Cold War, where nations like the U.S., UK, and USSR utilized information campaigns to influence global opinion, and how the act aimed to build trust by separating foreign messaging from domestic news. The text then details the 2013 Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, which removed this domestic restriction, arguing that the internet had rendered the original ban obsolete. Critics, however, feared this change would blur the lines between government information and independent journalism, leading to a new era where U.S. citizens can legally consume content originally intended for foreign audiences, aligning U.S. practice with other nations that consistently employ propaganda globally.

What happened between the election of the first black president in 2008 and the reelection of Donald Trump in 2024 that's led to "the age of certainty and the demise of discourse"? Well, as the brilliant writer Thomas Chatterton Williams recounts in his new book, there was the SUMMER OF OUR DISCONTENT. In this episode, we get to sit down with Thomas—staff writer at The Atlantic and also author of Losing My Cool and Self-Portrait in Black and White. We explore race, identity, cancel culture, and the importance of preserving liberal values in a polarized society. What We Discuss: How Thomas's biracial upbringing shapes his worldview The story behind the “Letter on Justice and Open Debate” in Harper's What happened with the Poetry Foundation and cancel culture Why “moral clarity” can be dangerous when journalism becomes activism How 2020's protests shaped national politics and the rise of MAGA Episode Highlights: [00:01:00] Thomas shares the story of his parents' interracial marriage [00:07:00] Growing up in a household full of debate and thick skin [00:09:00] Drafting and publishing the Harper's letter and its backlash [00:13:00] The Poetry Foundation controversy and institutional capture [00:25:00] Why “moral clarity” fails when we don't agree on morality [00:39:00] The link between 2020 protests and January 6th [00:45:00] Can Democrats win the center—and what candidates can break through? [00:48:00] The toxic effects of social media on how we see each other Featured Quotes: "You can't really have social justice without tolerance for viewpoint diversity." – Thomas Chatterton Williams "No one agrees on what's morally clear. That's why objectivity still matters." – Thomas Chatterton Williams "People don't talk that way in person. Social media strips us of our ability to imagine someone's humanity." – Corey Nathan Resources Mentioned: The Summer of Our Discontent by Thomas Chatterton Williams: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/704632/summer-of-our-discontent-by-thomas-chatterton-williams/ Harper's Letter: https://harpers.org/a-letter-on-justice-and-open-debate/ Thomas's work at The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/author/thomas-chatterton-williams/ Thomas on IG: www.instagram.com/chattertonwilliams Thomas on Twitter: x.com/thomaschattwill

The summer of 2020 was one of the most explosive periods of recent memory — with pandemic lockdowns, the death of George Floyd, nationwide protests and riots, and workplace purges and online mobbings. And yet, so much of what went on has now been forgotten. In his new book, our guest on the program today encourages us to take a good, hard look at the insanity of those months, and how they shaped the era we're now living through.Thomas Chatterton Williams is a staff writer at The Atlantic. His latest book, out this week, is Summer of Our Discontent: The Age of Certainty and the Demise of Discourse.You can find Tara Henley on Twitter at @TaraRHenley, and on Substack at tarahenley.substack.com

In this episode, we provide a recap on earnings so far in Q2, which, so far, have been good enough for the market to remain near all-time highs. We also delve a little deeper into some of the megacap earnings, especially as it relates to whether accounting rules are optically improving earnings while cash flow is shrinking as spending on capital expenditures, specifically AI chips, is draining corporate coffers. To wit, free cash flow versus capex for the four biggest spenders (GOOG, META, AMZN, and MSFT) is as follows (in billions): 2024 FCF - $233 Capex - $226 2025 FCF - $207 Capex - $351 2026 FCF - $240 Capex - $445 2027 FCF - $289 Capex - $512 In other words, these businesses, which once generated massive amounts of free cash flow for things like buybacks, are becoming much more capital intensive. However, since 2021, it has been only the 10 biggest stocks that have had earnings that have exceeded inflation; the other 490 have barely kept pace with overall price increases. We also talk about inflation, specifically the shift toward the greater use of estimates versus actual inflation data, as well as the smoke signals from the economic intelligentsia hinting at a shift away from the fed's long-standing 2% inflation target. In the spirit of government estimates, we also review the recent (abysmal) jobs data, and revisions, and connect that with the demise of certain professions, which ties into the massive AI spending driving corporate earnings and capital expenditures. We close with a look at the strong recent performance of speculative stocks, the historically large nature of the volume in that trading, and why that has historically boded poorly going forward. Of particular note is the recent record flow into the Ark Innovation ETF. Learn more about Formidable Asset Management, Will Brown, and Adam Eagleston by visiting www.formidableam.com.

In 1997, Jessica Matthews' landmark Foreign Affairs essay “Power Shift” captured the growing influence of NGOs and other non-state actors in shaping global affairs. But nearly three decades later, that tide has turned. A provocative new piece in Foreign Affairs argues that the age of NGOs is over—and states are reasserting dominance. Joining me to unpack this shift is Jennifer Hadden, co-author of the new article and Associate Professor at Brown University. We discuss the heyday of NGOs in the 1990s, what led to their decline, and what this reversal means for the future of human rights, democracy and freedom worldwide.  Foreign Affairs

Has the demise of London's leading financial services been "greatly exaggerated", and does the underlying evidence tell a very different story? In this interview, held at Mansion House in the historic City of London financial district, the Right Honourable Alastair King (696th Lord Mayor of the City of London) explains his view that the UK enjoys an unrivalled position, untouched by other European capitals.   He explains London and the wider UK “moat”, and why it exhibits persistency and resilience. Perhaps the most unexpected statistic is the significant growth in employment numbers in the City since Brexit. He discusses the importance of the Mansion House Reforms and the £75bn of investment by 2030, headed into private assets. He discusses why we must recognise that we need to take more risk, judiciously but emphatically (and this is directed at both public and private markets).  Lord Alastair then touches on the lessons we can learn from Canada and Australia and his current priorities. Finally, he explains why we need to get on planes/trains in order to trumpet the UK and drive new business opportunities.  The Money Maze Podcast is kindly sponsored by Schroders, IFM Investors, World Gold Council and LSEG.   Sign up to our Newsletter | Follow us on LinkedIn | Watch on YouTube  

Denise Richards' divorce has so many twists and turns there seems to be new info every hour on the hour. By now everyone has heard Denise's claims of abuse by Aaron. Aaron strongly denies those claims and a serious case of two very different conflicting stories is in full effect as we approach their initial hearing date, August 8th, in which a judge will determine if her temporary restraining order should be made permanent. Erika Jayne and Teddi tried to warn us all and many resurfaced RHOBH clips, plus Denise's reaction to the Brandi Glanville situation, are now revisited causing fans to look at everything and anything with hindsight which, they say, is 20/20. This RHOC take down season of Katie does not seem to be going quite as Tamra, Emily and Gina had planned.  The RHONJ long pause which is just getting started means so much more to the future of other franchises than meets the eye. Teresa makes new moves Down Under in acts of desperation, Dolores declares her PTSD and many cast members become delusional in a total lack of reality about what their future on RHONJ really looks like. Part II starts now. @marianagrajales @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: TRUDIAGNOSTIC - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.trudiagnostic.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) PROGRESSIVE - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.progressive.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) MOOD - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.mood.com/velvet ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠(20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Redrazz.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠David@advertising-execs.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MERCH Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198⁠⁠ To Purchase Tickets To MeMe's upcoming show: ⁠seriesoffortunateevents.com⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Tamra has just claimed that Shannon has hatched a diabolical plan to take her down and out as Tamra continues her sympathy tour with more tears, apologies and re-introductions. Speaking of RHOC, although she will never return to Bravo, Kelly Dodd has taken a moment out of her busy day - said sarcastically - to issue a plea to us directly in an attempt to pull on our heartstrings, assuming we have any. Melissa Gorga quit her podcast a few weeks ago, but what are the real reasons for shutting down “On Display” and just what does this move have to do with the return and future of RHONJ. Bethenny Frankel has suffered another recent loss which has pulled on the heartstrings of many and has others claiming it performative. Last but not least, rumors arise yet again from multiple sources that Andy Cohen and Micah Plath may have had a moment or two together that are more than just friends. @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: GOPURE - ⁠⁠gopurebeauty.com⁠⁠ (Use Code Velvet To Get 25% Off The Best Tighten & Lift Neck Cream) PROGRESSIVE - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.progressive.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) QUINCE - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠quince.com/velvetrop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠e⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Get Free Shipping and 365 Day Returns to As You Indulge In Affordable Luxury) THRIVE MARKET - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thrivemarket.com/velvetrope⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Get 30% Off Your First Order Of Health Conscious Food, Household Goods, Personal Grooming Products and More) INDACLOUD - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠indacloud.co ⁠⁠(Use Code Velvet For 25% Off Your First Order Plus Free Shipping on Federally Legal Gummies, Flower, Prerolls and More) WAYFAIR - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wayfair.com⁠⁠ (Shop Outdoor Furniture, Grills, Lawn Games & WAY More Outdoor Options For WAY Less) TRUDIAGNOSTIC - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.trudiagnostic.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Use Code VELVET To Get 20% Off To Find Out The “Real” Age Of Your Body) WASHINGTON RED RASPBERRIES - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Redrazz.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Find New Ways To Use American Frozen Red Raspberries & Get More Details On Where You Can Grab a Bag) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠David@advertising-execs.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MERCH Available at - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Even before the cancellation of 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,' the business of comedy was changing rapidly. Twenty years ago, comedians aspired to be late-night hosts, or to star in movies, or to have their own sitcoms. But in 2025, late-night shows are going extinct, adult comedies in Hollywood are a thing of the past, and popular sitcoms are so rare these days that Gen Z viewers are still watching 'The Office' and 'Friends.' Instead, many comedians rightly recognize that they can make more money as solo acts. In comedy, as in much of our culture, the age of institutions is giving way to an age of individuals talking to individuals. Lucas Shaw, a reporter for Bloomberg and frequent commentator on the Town podcast, joins the show to talk about the cancellation of 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' and what it says about the history and the future of comedy and media. We also talk about the death of adult comedies, the retreat of sitcoms on TV, why comedy as a field is becoming more of a solo business—and what that says about entertainment culture more broadly.

USAID has officially closed its doors, but the devastating impact of its loss is echoing around the world. Among those worst hit is Afghanistan, which received over 40 percent of its humanitarian support from the US. One study predicts that, if the cuts continue through 2030, 14 million people could die as a result. It's not hard to find evidence of how this is already materializing, as correspondent Isobel Yeung saw for herself.  Also on today's show: Bulwark senior reporter Will Sommer; TechTonic Justice founder Kevin De Liban  Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode, we take you inside the Osceola County courtroom where Stephan Sterns—the man who raped and murdered 13-year-old Maddie Soto—pleaded guilty to a laundry list of charges. Sterns accepted a life sentence without the possibility of parole in exchange for avoiding the death penalty. But while he faces justice behind bars, one haunting question remains: Why has Maddie's mother, Jennifer Soto, never been charged? We unpack every detail from the plea hearing: the heartbreaking victim impact statements, the devastating timeline, and the judge's chilling words as Sterns was sentenced. But perhaps the most glaring moment? The silence from Jennifer Soto. No statement. No appearance. No visible grief in the courtroom for the daughter she failed to protect. This episode goes beyond the courtroom. We break down: What Jennifer Soto admitted to police. Why she allowed Sterns to routinely sleep in the same bed as Maddie. Her infamous comment that the “sex stuff wasn't evil.” Why prosecutors didn't charge her—yet—and whether the plea deal now opens that door. We also examine the public outcry demanding accountability and the disturbing legal gray zone between neglect and criminality. Is it time for Florida prosecutors to revisit their stance on Soto now that Sterns' case is closed? Or will she walk away, untouched by the justice system but stained in the court of public opinion? You won't want to miss this in-depth breakdown of the courtroom moment that left as many questions as answers—and the mother at the center of it all. Listen now to "Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski."
