Tune in here to this Friday’s edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program with Pete Kaliner for this edition of The Hangover as they discuss media narratives surrounding the conflict with Iran and the political reactions playing out on cable news. The conversation begins with commentary on remarks from Pete Hegseth criticizing how outlets frame the Middle East conflict, arguing that headlines often exaggerate chaos instead of highlighting Iran’s weakening position. Brett and Kaliner also poke fun at what they describe as predictable media reactions, including controversy over Hegseth’s use of the phrase “no quarter” during wartime rhetoric. Later Brett continues the conversation about foreign policy, domestic politics, and emerging security concerns. Responding to messages from callers and listeners across the region, Brett addresses criticism of Democratic leaders such as Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff, while also touching on debates over immigration, political accountability, and the direction of the country. The discussion briefly turns to security alerts after George Mason University temporarily closed its Fairfax campus library following bomb threats, prompting Brett to reflect on how threats and disruptions are increasingly used to create fear even when they don’t lead to actual attacks.

A shocking murder in Fairfax, Virginia is raising national questions about sanctuary city policies, ICE detainers, and public safety. A woman waiting at a bus stop was stabbed to death by a man who had a deportation order and dozens of prior arrests. Critics say the tragedy could have been prevented if local officials had cooperated with federal immigration authorities. Episode Summary A deadly stabbing in Fairfax County, Virginia has reignited the national debate over sanctuary city policies and cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. According to a press release from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a woman identified as Stephanie Minter, 41, was fatally stabbed while waiting at a bus stop. Authorities say the suspect, Abdul Jalo, is an undocumented immigrant who allegedly had a final deportation order and an extensive criminal history that included dozens of arrests. Federal immigration officials say they had issued detainers requesting that local authorities hold the suspect so he could be transferred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. Critics argue that local sanctuary policies allowed the suspect to be released despite those requests. The case has sparked political controversy across Virginia, with calls for greater cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. Officials from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security say the case highlights the risks when jurisdictions decline to honor ICE detainers. Supporters of sanctuary policies argue that local governments must follow constitutional guidelines and court rulings regarding detention without judicial warrants, while critics say the policies put public safety at risk. The incident has quickly become part of the broader national debate over immigration enforcement, criminal justice policies, and the role of local governments in federal immigration law. Key Topics The Fairfax County bus stop stabbing case The death of Stephanie Minter The suspect Abdul Jalo and reported criminal history ICE detainers and cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Sanctuary city policies in Virginia Statements from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security The national debate over immigration enforcement and public safety

From space lasers taking out ballistic missiles to shocking crimes in sanctuary cities, today's episode exposes how modern military tech and political decisions collide with public safety. We break down the latest on U.S. Space Force directed energy weapons, Iran and Israel missile strikes, and a deadly incident in Fairfax, Virginia involving an illegal immigrant with a long criminal record. Episode Summary Today's show spans cutting-edge military tech, U.S. foreign operations, and domestic policy failures. Directed Energy & Space Force: Lasers from U.S. Space Force are now operational, tracking missile launches from Iran via infrared signatures. Over 200 Iranian ballistic missiles have reportedly been destroyed, along with dozens of launchers. Israel has similar technology. Precision strikes and next-generation space targeting are changing modern warfare, making conventional attacks less relevant. Trump's Calculus & Shock & Awe: Insights from interviews with Jonathan Carroll and John Carroll reveal how these technologies influence U.S. strategy in Iran and Venezuela, including the high-risk operation to extract Nicholas Maduro with minimal troops. Sanctuary City Tragedy: Back home, a shocking case in Fairfax, Virginia saw Stephanie Minter, 41, fatally stabbed by Abdul Jala, an illegal immigrant with over 30 prior arrests and a final deportation order ignored by local authorities. The incident raises questions about sanctuary city policies and ICE cooperation, highlighted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security press release. National Immigration Impact: Thousands of noncitizens with convictions for murder or sexual assault are reportedly released into the U.S., according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Investigative reporting reveals how even convicted sex offenders are released under federal policies, emphasizing gaps in safety and enforcement. Health & Addiction Update: New studies suggest popular weight-loss drugs may have unexpected benefits in addiction treatment, potentially helping those with alcohol or drug dependence. Today's episode exposes the intersection of advanced military technology, immigration policy, and public safety, asking Americans: who really has your protection in this country?

Send a textChade-Meng Tan when a Google engineer was the company's Jolly Good Fellow (Which nobody can deny)  . Meng decided one day on the then-small Google campus to promote world peace, which led to his successfully working with a team to bring mindfulness to Google's engineers and beyond, through the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (yes, Silly). His book Search Inside Yourself addresses that program and mindfulness itself. Following up on mindfulness is Meng's great Joy on Demand book about mindfulness, peace, joy and compassion. Rounding out his book authoriship is Buddhism for All: The Joyful Path to Enlightenment, with co-author Soryu Forall. . Meng's projects also involve his work with Buddhism.net and Billion Acts of Peace Fairfax criminal lawyer Jonathan Katz sought out Meng as an interviewee not only for Meng's infectious optimism, but also for his engaged action in making this world a better and happier place, his at-once fun and beneficial approach and roadmap with mindfulness, and Meng's frankness about his deep depression that preceded his grabbing a lifetime of mindfulness practice by the horns. All of this -- together with Meng's focus on good-natured and often silly humor -- ties in well with Jon Katz's incorporation of mindfulness and his taijiquan marital art into his criminal defense work and helping clients emerge out of the dark places that many of them experience at times while pursuing their best possible court outcome. Mindfulness is not a spectator sport. Some additional great and quick instructions to get started include Jon Kabat-Zinn's Mindfulness for Beginners and his 2007 talk at Google that introduced me to Meng, who blames Jon for his jollyness. This episode is also available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVYy64AK9RwThis podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

From 02/24 Hour 3: Police Chief Kevin Davis joins The Sports Junkies.

In this episode we respond to emails from Nick, Ginna, Ashley, Chris and Sara.  In our Queen Mary segment where we are raising money for Fairfax CASA, we express our gratitude for the outpouring of listener support and tell Noah and Taylor's story of reunification.  We then dive into two big portfolio questions: do managed futures replace gold, and how to fund an eight-year break without derailing long-term plans. We build a conservative drawdown portfolio, weigh taxes in taxable accounts, and explain why good portfolio construction beats market timing.Links:Fairfax CASA Donation Page:  Donate - Fairfax CASAWilka's in NYC:  Wilka's Sports Bar | Women's Sports Bar | New York, NY, USAChris's Portfolio Constructions:  testfol.io/?s=lwnOaJGvzDjSara's Portfolio Analyses:  testfol.io/?s=htNZVoZOZn4Breathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Start with purpose: a child's safety, a mother's grit, and a community that shows up. We open with a moving Fairfax CASA story—Noah and Taylor—that reminds us why steady advocacy and second chances matter. Listener donations pour in, and Mary shares how CASA pairs rigorous oversight with real compassion. From there, we pivot to the other kind of safety net: portfolios designed to fund real lives.A longtime listener asks if managed futures make gold redundant. We break down what trend-following actually captures, why gold's long history and different crisis behavior still earn it a seat, and how the two hedges fit together when you care about drawdowns, not bragging rights. Then we tackle Sarah's bold plan: an eight-year pause from work to care for family, spending about $90k per year from taxable savings before returning to the workforce. Rather than a classic risk-parity blend, we map a more conservative drawdown portfolio: roughly 30% equities with a large-cap value tilt and a sleeve of property-and-casualty insurers, 25% cash and short-term Treasuries for three years of runway, 25% intermediate Treasuries for recession insurance, and 20% in alternatives split between gold and managed futures. The goal isn't to win a backtest—it's to keep maximum drawdowns shallow and flexibility high.We also unpack taxes in the 0% capital gains band, why ordinary-income assets aren't the villain during low-income years, and how realizing gains strategically can preserve ACA subsidies. For long-horizon IRAs, we keep it simple: a 100% equity mix across large-cap growth or blend and small-cap value, with an optional tilt to international small-cap value for broader diversification. No crystal balls, no heroic timing—just construction that respects time frames and human needs.If this episode helps you think differently about money, advocacy, or how to buy time for what matters, share it with a friend, subscribe, and leave a quick review so more DIY investors can find it.Support the show

In today's episode, we spoke with Alexander I. Spira, MD, PhD, FACP, FASCO. Dr Spira is co-director of the Virginia Cancer Specialists (VCS) Research Institute in Fairfax, director of the VCS Thoracic and Phase I Program, chief scientific officer of NEXT Oncology, and a clinical assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.In our exclusive interview, Dr Spira discussed the significance of the December 2025 FDA approval of amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj (Rybrevant Faspro), also known as subcutaneous amivantamab, for the treatment of patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) across all approved indications for amivantamab-vmjw (Rybrevant). He noted key data from the pivotal phase 3 PALOMA-3 trial (NCT05388669), which showed that subcutaneous amivantamab combined with lazertinib (Lazcluze) had a more favorable safety profile compared with intravenous (IV) amivantamab plus lazertinib and was noninferior to the IV formulation in terms of efficacy. Dr Spira contextualized these trial findings within the larger EGFR-mutated NSCLC treatment paradigm and explained how this formulation of amivantamab addresses a previously unmet patient need.

Kremlinology has made its way east as analysts try to make sense of dramatic PLA purges under Xi Jinping. The CCP regime appears to be clearing house, but what does it all mean? Should there be a reconsideration of a Taiwan contingency for China? Is China even equipped to make threats against its neighbors? At a moment of global turbulence, why reduce military expertise? What does it all mean for the United States? Is Xi going the way of Stalin? So many questions; join us for the answers.John Garnaut is the founder of Garnaut Global, where he provides strategic advice and risk management services to global finance and corporate clients as an authority on Chinese elite politics and Chinese Communist Party interference. John was previously Fairfax's China correspondent and Asia-Pacific Editor, Senior Advisor to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and Principal Advisor at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, where he led the government's analysis and policy response to authoritarian interference.

Cox identifies as a transgender woman, and allegedly exposed himself to girls in Fairfax and Arlington locker rooms. https://x.com/nickminock/status/2019140117945020480?s=46&t=JAP3tHVoDsAyO5r6QT5_IQ Virginia Democrats are voting on this bill in committee today to give child rapists a chance to get out of jail early, and Progressives on this site really want to act like the Epstein story works to their favor. If Epstein had been arrested in Virginia, Democrats would have given him an easier time getting bail (another bill they're carrying), eliminated any mandatory minimum sentences for his crimes (yet another bill of theirs), and if he were sent to prison, they would have given him a chance to get out early. https://x.com/christianheiens/status/2019073498581274973?s=46&t=JAP3tHVoDsAyO5r6QT5_IQ WMAL GUEST: 6:30 AM - INTERVIEW - HANS VON SPAKOVSKY - Senior Legal Fellow at Advancing American Freedom’s (AAF), Former Fulton County Registration and Election Board member and former member of the Federal Election Commission SOCIAL MEDIA: https://x.com/HvonSpakovskyTOPICS: Supreme Court shuts down California GOP bid to block Newsom's new map Republicans, Trump run into Senate roadblock on voter ID bill Where to find more about WMAL's morning show: Follow the Show Podcasts on Apple podcasts, Audible and Spotify.

Send us a textSome remarkable people walk among us. One of them is sujatha baliga (spelling her name without capitalization), who greets people with "warm hellos." sujatha is a leader in restorative justice, a practitioner of mindfulness, and a self-described (at least at one point) survivor of childhood sexual abuse by her father. Fairfax criminal lawyer Jonathan Katz first learned about sujatha several years ago through her combination of being a lawyer involved with mindfulness and restorative justice. As sujatha explains, with restorative justice, the focus is not on what law was broken, but who was harmed, what the harmed person needs, and who has the obligation to meet those needs. For instance, here sujatha movingly talks about an impasse broken when the subject of a car theft and attendant $4000 loss learned that the person who caused the theft was an artist, and she agreed to resolve the matter by his creating a Tinkerbell image for her. Jon thanks his longtime friend and fellow criminal defense lawyer Christopher Flohr for suggesting asking sujatha about the effectiveness of restorative justice when sex offenses are alleged. The story sujatha tells of the transformation of a sexual assault victim participating in an intensive restorative justice proceeding, ultimately hugging her alleged assailant, is even more remarkable than the above Tinkerbell story. sujatha's transformation away from anger is remarkable after her father sexually abused her as a child, and after she was beaten up in school when the only student of color in a small community. At one point, sujatha wanted to be a prosecutor, but her time in India and ultimate first meeting with the Dalai Lama transformed her to the path of being a public defender lawyer. (Listen to how she would effectively cross examine a child accuser in criminal court.)You can meet and learn from sujatha at her in-person Spiritual Fitness program starting April 11-12, 2026. in Richmond, California. On various Monday evenings, she leads meditation gatherings. Stay tuned for sujatha's first book due for publication this year,  Angry Long Enough, by One World/Penguin Random House. This episode is also available on YouTube. This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

THE NEW MODEL ARMY AND THE REGICIDE Colleague Jonathan Healey. Parliament reorganizes its forces into the New Model Army under Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell, prioritizing merit over social status. After defeating the Royalists at Naseby, political divisions emerge between Presbyterians and Independents regarding the settlement. The Army debates a new constitution at Putney, pitting Henry Ireton against democratic Levelers. Charles I's refusal to negotiate leads to a second civil war. Concluding the King is a tyrant, radicals try and execute Charles I in 1649, a shocking public act performed in the name of the people. NUMBER 527TH CENTURY LONDON

Today opening statements begin in a highly anticipated murder trial in Virginia. A 40 year old man is facing aggravated murder charges after prosecutors say he conspired with his au pair to kill his wife in a sex fantasy fueled murder plot where the two lured an unsuspecting man to the home to kill him and frame him for murder. There’s a big twist in this theory though, and it could be unraveled by a member of the prosecution’s own team, a detective with the Fairfax police department.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
