Podcasts about DC

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, WMAL's Larry O'Connor fills in for Mark. President Trump's Chief of Staff Susie Wiles gave an interview to Vanity Fair, which was then highlighted by the New York Times, turning it into an exaggerated scandal trying to damage Trump and his team. This is a classic case of the media and the machine that is DC culture for inflating the story. Much of the NY Times' article is characterization rather than direct quotes, fueling the DC frenzy. Also, there's been a global string of recent terror attacks and thwarted plots linked which are all linked to radical Islamists, including ISIS and Hamas supporters, targeting religious and cultural celebrations across continents. There are the patterns of Islamist-motivated violence against Christian and Jewish events, with terrorists aiming to murder, destroy cultural symbols, and terrify societies into altering behaviors. The worst part is that Western policies are welcoming such individuals without proper vetting. Later, there's a woman in Canada with a chronic disease unable to access treatment, leading the government to offer euthanasia as a solution since she qualifies and is "going to die anyway." Euthanasia, initially sold as compassionate mercy for the terminally ill in unbearable pain, has expanded in Canada to include those with depression, shifting from doctor-assisted relief to societal endorsement of suicide that contradicts healers' roles. Why would a society fund and approve this? Finally, we're now on day four of a massive manhunt in Rhode Island—federal and state officers are hunting for the coward who opened fire during a final exam at Brown University. Two young people are dead, nine others are injured, and there's still no clear motive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this episode of Chrisley Confessions 2.0, Todd and Julie Chrisley sit down to talk about what life really looks like right now. From navigating tabloid rumors and laughing through everyday chaos to reflecting on personal growth, faith, and finding peace after seasons of pressure, this conversation is equal parts candid and real.They open up about why the idea of a “gray divorce” could not be further from their truth, how their marriage has evolved over decades together, and what it means to finally feel settled within themselves. Julie shares powerful insight on healing, letting go of old burdens, and why getting older has been one of the most freeing chapters of her life, while Todd reflects on purpose, advocacy, and the work he continues to do to bring attention to injustice within the prison system.The episode also touches on parenting in a new season, supporting their children as adults, Savannah's work in DC, upcoming family plans, and why laughter still plays a central role in their lives. This is not about perfection or appearances. It is about growth, accountability, faith, and showing up honestly for each other.Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments below.Thank you to our sponsors for supporting the show!- CBDistillery: Visit https://www.cbdistillery.com and use promo code CHRISLEY to save 25% off your entire purchase!- Jones Road Beauty: Use code CHRISLEY at https://www.jonesroadbeauty.com to get a Free Cool Gloss with your first purchase! #JonesRoadBeauty #ad - NOBL: Head to https://www.nobltravel.com for up to 58% off your entire order!FOLLOW US ON SOCIALS:Todd Chrisley:Insta: (https://www.instagram.com/toddchrisley)Facebook: (https://www.facebook.com/toddchrisley)Julie Chrisley:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/juliechrisley)Facebook: (https://www.facebook.com/JulieChrisley)Chrisley Confessions 2.0:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/chrisleyconfessions2.0)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@chrisleyconfessions2.0)YouTube: (https://www.youtube.com/@ChrisleyConfessions)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

New details also raise serious questions about the FBI's handling of the January 6 pipe bomber case, as investigators confirm key cellphone data was always available but left unanalyzed for years. In Washington, DC's police chief resigns amid revelations that crime data was deliberately manipulated, fueling broader concerns about the reliability of national crime statistics. On the economic front, President Trump defends his "Golden Age" message as new labor and inflation data approach. Wages continue to outpace inflation, rents and gas prices fall, and a major 7.4 billion dollar smelter project in Tennessee promises to reduce America's reliance on China for critical minerals. Democrats, meanwhile, signal plans to campaign on affordability fears and AI-driven job anxiety, even as Republicans quietly work to elevate the most left-wing Democratic candidates ahead of future elections. Abroad, Australia reels from the deadliest terror attack in decades as leaders debate gun control versus confronting radical Islam. Mexico agrees to release overdue water to Texas after tariff threats, while the US expands a militarized buffer along the southern border. Chile elects a hard-right president amid a regional political shift, ransom payments strengthen al-Qaeda in Africa, peace deals collapse in Congo and Southeast Asia, and new medical research offers early cancer detection and improved dental health for children.    "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: California terror plot, left-wing extremism, Turtle Island Liberation Front, January 6 pipe bomber, FBI cellphone data, DC crime statistics scandal, Trump economy, critical minerals smelter Tennessee, Australia terror attack, Mexico water treaty, southern border militarization, Chile election, al-Qaeda ransom Mali, Congo conflict, Cambodia Thailand tensions, early cancer blood test, vitamin D pregnancy

From August to December 2016, then Marine Special Operations Officer Ivan Ingraham lived on an assault ship off the coast of Sirte, a city in northern Libya that lies between Tripoli and Benghazi. It was the hometown of Muammar Gaddafi, who invested in Sirte before dying there during Libya's first civil war. In the midst of a second civil war, ISIS had filled a power vacuum and overrun the city, sending its civilians fleeing. At the request of Libya's UN-backed Government of National Accord, the United States provided support. Ivan led a five-man special operations team attached to a Marine Expeditionary Unit to help push ISIS out. The mission was known as Operation Odyssey Lightning.

President Trump is unapologetic about his comments about Rob Reiner's death on Truth Social and - in under one minute - explains why he thinks the director was bad for America. A DC police commander is accused of fudging crime data and bullying cops into underreporting violent crime in the nation's capital. The former CEO of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce is accused of creating a fake nonprofit and a bogus CEO to funnel taxpayer money to himself. Plus proof that Minnesota was the blueprint for Somalian fraud... that's also happening in Sweden.

The rules of the game have changed. Have you figured out the OB3 playbook?From massive tax credit shifts to permitting bottlenecks and foreign entity restrictions, the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” has reshaped the future of clean energy in America. At this year's RE+ 2025, top minds from GoodLeap, Infineon, SEIA, and Wood Mackenzie broke down what OB3 really implicates across solar, storage, and grid infrastructure.Recorded live from the PowerUp Podcast Stage, this episode captures the pulse of an industry in motion. You'll hear how residential solar is pivoting fast, why semiconductor companies are critical to the grid's future, and what's really driving policy conversations in DC.Expect to learn:

Recent changes at USPTO are increasingly shaping the context in which Congress considers potential patent legislation.In the latest episode of Clause 8, the focus turns to how the USPTO's evolving approach to post-grant proceedings at the PTAB is shaping the broader patent policy debate—and influencing what Congress may (or may not) do next.The episode features David Jones, Executive Director of the High Tech Inventors Alliance (HTIA) and a longtime Clause 8 favorite, alongside Jeffrey Hantson, a former patent litigator and senior Senate Judiciary Committee staffer who most recently served as Deputy General Counsel to Sen. Dick Durbin after advising Sen. Mazie Hirono on IP issues. Dave and Jeff first crossed paths during the pre-pandemic Section 101 roundtables, and the episode captures their fun, wonky back-and-forth dynamic.A central theme is whether the USPTO's recent moves on IPR institution—including its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)—create an opening for Congress to strike a bargain, or instead make legislative compromise harder. Dave and Jeff explore how the introduction of settled expectations, Director John Squires reclaiming institution authority, and broader institution trends are reshaping the conversation around proposals such as the PREVAIL Act.Jeff frames the core tension in familiar terms for staffers and stakeholders: at some point, should the USPTO be done reassessing a patent's validity? Dave, for his part, is skeptical that legislation is the answer when the agency is (in his view) drifting from what was envisioned when Congress created the PTAB under the America Invents Act (AIA).The conversation also explores why PREVAIL advanced further than PERA in the last Congress, why PTAB reform is often easier to grasp on Capitol Hill than Section 101 eligibility, and why Sen. Thom Tillis' likability—and impending retirement—may matter more than most people realize.Set against a backdrop of shifting IP leadership on Capitol Hill and mixed administrative signals on patents, the episode offers a candid look at where patent policy may be headed—and what it would take to change course.

Lower deficits and trade imbalances reduce economic pressures that drive up prices, potentially stabilizing costs for consumers and businesses.  these figures signal improving fiscal health. For context, the U.S. deficit was around $1.7 trillion in 2024; dropping it by $600 billion would bring it closer to $1.1 trillion—a substantial cut that could ease long-term debt concerns and support lower interest rates.  Lower inflation to 2% would mean steadier prices, boosting real wages and consumer confidence.   The U.S. budget deficit is the annual shortfall when government spending exceeds revenue in a given fiscal year. The national debt is the total accumulated amount owed from all past deficits (plus interest), essentially the running total of borrowed money. https://twitter.com/GuntherEagleman/status/2000268781084348516?s=20 Political/Rights https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1999945168120848428?s=20 https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/2000177646072631506?s=20 https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/2000142553815847148?s=20 https://twitter.com/HamasAtrocities/status/2000263382197481781?s=20 https://twitter.com/BNODesk/status/2000304813591118154?s=20 from pakistan https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2000160163282727197?s=20 https://twitter.com/TheBritLad/status/2000308891104797052?s=20 https://twitter.com/Currentreport1/status/2000199214870180153?s=20 https://twitter.com/C_3C_3/status/2000055847309791603?s=20 Brown University Shooting Suspect In Custody; Gunman “Yelled Something” Before Attack On Econ Classroom  The shooter “yelled something” before the attack … Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2000264684180746600?s=20   authorities have detained the suspect in the Brown University shooting that occurred on December 13, 2025, which left two students dead and nine others injured.  The person of interest, identified as 24-year-old Benjamin Erickson from Wisconsin (who is not a Brown student), was taken into custody early on December 14 at a hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island, about 15 miles from the campus.  Officials have confirmed no other suspects are being sought, and the investigation is ongoing.

This paragraph from within the WaPo (CIA) framework seems to tell a background story: […] “The meetings have caused alarm among Western officials who remain in the dark about their intent and purpose. Some said they believe Umerov and other Ukrainian officials sought out Patel and Bongino in the hopes of obtaining amnesty from any corruption allegations the Ukrainians could face. Others worry the newly established channel could be used to exert pressure on Zelensky's government to accept a peace deal, proposed by the Trump administration, containing steep concessions for Kyiv.” (more) Perhaps Zelenskyy's primary negotiator for the USA team, Rustem Umerov, has specific knowledge of corruption connected to the generous financial support the USA has provided Ukraine.  Watching Yermak get taken down within the FBI/NABU investigation, might have triggered Umerov to cooperate on several levels. Umerov reported as happy with the negotiated U.S. terms. Volodymyr Zelenskyy openly not happy with the negotiated terms. This is worth watching.

In a special year end episode of Off Panel, we look at the defining themes of 2025 in comics with the help of retailer Steve Anderson from Third Eye Comics, The Beat's Heidi MacDonald, and writer Matthew Rosenberg.  Up first is Anderson (1:37), whose theme is the impact of DC's Absolute line, as we discuss the Image Revolution of it all, unlocking the cool, the area of effect it's had on other comics, good times he sees on the horizon, how new readers are behaving, why Absolute has popped, how creators and publishers can capitalize on this, and more.  After that is MacDonald (32:22), whose theme was the lack of new characters in direct market comics, as we discuss why that's a problem, the most successful new(ish) characters, recycling existing ideas, why it's a 2025 theme, attempts to make new characters happen, what's lost without them, marketing struggles, what needs to happen, and more.  And to close is Rosenberg (1:06:59), whose theme is how comics are running behind the rest of pop culture, as we discuss the inferiority complex in comics, the cost that comes with this lag, the importance of cool, how this can change, how the market factors into this, and more.

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! Julia, Thom, and Anthony were supposed to record 2025's "Jingle Bell Heist" this week, but as happens sometimes - especially during this busy time of the year - life got in the way and they couldn't get their schedules to align. Not wanting to leave you hanging during the height of the Christmas season, however, please enjoy this very special episode that came together super last minute in which Anthony interviewed two good friends of the show: Brendan Low, of "Real Fans 4 Real Movies" and "Holy Batcast", and Matt Spaulding of "North Pole Radio" and "Two Broke Geeks".  Both are professional Santas and both have written and self-published books about Santa Claus ("The Boy Who Became Santa" and "Santa In His Own Words", respectively) , so they came on to tell their stories, plug their businesses, talk their books, etc. This is a fun, festive episode you want to be sure not to miss out on! And, like all "Tis the Podcast" episodes, there's a bit of pop-culture talk thrown in there as well, as the three guys react to the first "Supergirl" trailer. What do they think of the first official look at DC's follow-up to the smash-hit that was "Superman"? Well, let's just say, in true "Tis the Podcast" fashion, Anthony is once again a man on an island. So settle in with your favorite holiday drink beside your Christmas tree, relax, and enjoy! And make sure to follow these gents on social media for a healthy dose of Santa content year-round, as well as nerd content, and purchase their excellent books as well! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all!

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck confronts the alarming rise of antisemitism following a mass shooting that targeted Jews in Australia on the first night of Hanukkah, reflecting on how hatred now crosses traditional political lines and sharing his own family’s experiences. He argues that social media has become a primary accelerant—profiting from outrage, trapping people in media silos, and rewarding the most extreme voices—while insisting that free speech does not guarantee unlimited reach. The conversation widens to the urgent need for tech reform, growing support for restricting smartphones for kids, and public backlash to Donald Trump’s hands-off approach to regulating AI. Chuck also examines Trump’s foreign policy actions, economic excuses, and erosion of constitutional norms, warning that the U.S. is drifting toward “competitive authoritarianism.” Despite the dangers of normalization and resignation, the episode closes with a reminder that America still has the capacity to push back and reclaim democratic guardrails. Nick Troiano, executive director of Unite America, joins the Chuck ToddCast for a wide-ranging conversation about why America’s political system feels increasingly broken—and what reforms could actually fix it. Troiano explains how ranked-choice voting and primary reform can weaken the grip of the two-party system, produce more representative outcomes, and give voters in places like Alaska and Louisiana more meaningful choices. They unpack why partisan primaries reward conflict over problem-solving, how safe districts all but decide elections before voters reach the general, and why unaffiliated voters are often locked out of taxpayer-funded contests. The discussion expands to the broader reform landscape, from redistricting and campaign finance to unconventional ideas like compulsory representation and even randomly selected legislatures. Troiano argues that periods of political turmoil and inequality have historically led to democratic breakthroughs—and that today’s moment may demand the same. As power continues to consolidate and parties work to protect their advantage, this episode explores whether structural reform, rather than new personalities, is the only path to a healthier, more functional democracy. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the political and cultural impact of The Simpsons, answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and recaps the latest in college football.

On this episode of Word Balloon, host John Siuntres kicks off a wide-ranging conversation with legendary artist Bryan Hitch in Part One of an in-depth interview covering his career past, present, and future. Bryan talks about his creator-owned series Redcoat, the ideas and influences behind The Authority, and how those books helped redefine widescreen superhero storytelling. The conversation also digs into Bryan's work on Superman, his approach to visual scale and cinematic pacing, and how blockbuster storytelling changed comics in the 2000s. Along the way, Bryan shares behind-the-scenes insights into collaboration, deadlines, and the evolution of his art style across Marvel and DC.

On this episode of Word Balloon, host John Siuntres continues his in-depth conversation with acclaimed artist Bryan Hitch in Part Two, focusing squarely on Superman, Lex Luthor, and the larger DC Universe. Bryan breaks down his visual approach to the Man of Steel, how he balances power with humanity, and why framing Superman correctly on the page is one of the hardest challenges in comics. The discussion also digs into Lex Luthor as a character — how Hitch visually communicates intellect, menace, and ego — and how those elements shape DC's larger narrative world. Bryan shares behind-the-scenes insights into collaboration, continuity, and the realities of working at the center of DC's flagship titles. It's a creator-level look at superheroes, villains, and the visual language that defines the DCU — thoughtful, candid, and packed with craft talk.

In this powerful conversation, Dina sits down with Leslie Forde - author of Repair with Self-Care and founder of Mom's Hierarchy of Needs - for a truth-telling dialogue every woman leader needs to hear.Dina first heard Leslie speak in a packed room of women during her DC book tour stop, where you could feel the entire room exhale as Leslie named the invisible load so many of us have been carrying in silence. Today, they pick up that thread and dive even deeper.Together, they explore what happens when women stop performing resilience and start honoring their actual needs. Leslie breaks down why self-care is not indulgence, not a reward, and definitely not something you “earn” after you've handled everything else - but a leadership skill, a boundary, and a radical act of self-trust.You'll hear:Why energy management - not time management - is the real secret to sustainable leadershipHow the invisible load of motherhood shows up in boardrooms, Zoom rooms, and everywhere in betweenWhat shifts when women treat their needs as data instead of inconveniencesThe first realistic steps to repair yourself without stepping away from your career or burning your life downWhy self-care is strategic, political, and deeply personal for women leadersIf you've ever felt the weight of trying to hold it all together… this episode is your permission slip to put the load down and rebuild leadership from a place of wholeness, not depletion.This is a conversation about repair, recovery, and redefining what leadership looks like when women stop abandoning themselves. Don't miss it.
