Apply to work with me 1:1 - https://impacttheory.co/SCALESign up for my AI Masterclass: https://tombilyeu.com/ai-masterclass?utm_campaign=TBS-Livestream&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=socialWelcome to another thought-provoking episode of the Tom Bilyeu Show Live, where no subject is too spicy or uncomfortable to tackle head-on. In today's episode, the conversation focused on some of the most polarizing issues making headlines, from viral true crime cases stoking cultural tensions to international economic showdowns and political controversy. The discussion explored the public reaction to Lindsay Clancy's tragic familicide, delving into themes of empathy, personal responsibility, and society's sometimes fraught relationship with medicalization and criminal justice. Other key topics included major economic maneuvers to preserve the dollar's dominance, Canada's declining economic policies and shifting alliances, the precarious relationship between the U.S. and Russia, and the dangers of overlooking the realities of authoritarianism in global powers like China. Several points were raised, including society's tendency to let feelings override facts, the consequences of leading with unchecked compassion, and the urgent need for critical thought in navigating both culture and policy. Whether you're here for deep dives into news, cultural analysis, or high-stakes economic strategy, this episode challenges you to reconsider what it means to balance care with accountability in a world teetering between chaos and order.Sponsors:Cash App: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/v6nymgjl #CashAppPod*Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

This horrific tragedy took place on an idyllic tree lined street in a Minneapolis suburb Wednesday morning. A mother dropping off her child at her neighborhood, family run daycare called police after witnessing the father and co-owner of the daycare killing his wife and 7-year-old daughter and then heading upstairs and shooting himself.

In 1955, following the devastation of the Korean War, Bertha and Harry Holt made headlines for adopting eight Korean children. Driven by evangelical convictions and emboldened by a special act of Congress, the couple founded the Holt Adoption Program, which would facilitate the migration of tens of thousands of Korean children to the United States over the following decades. The Sueppels were among the families profoundly shaped by the legacy of the Holt Adoption Program. To their suburban Iowa City community, Steven and Sheryl Sueppel were kind and charitable, humble yet magnetic—seemingly ideal candidates to adopt. But in 2008, when Steven found himself facing federal embezzlement and money laundering charges, he murdered Sheryl and their adopted children before ending his own life. In What They Stole: A Familicide Rooted in Intercountry Adoption (University of Iowa Press, 2026), Paige Towers traces the interwoven histories of the Holts and the Sueppels, exploring the deeper, often hidden complexities of intercountry adoption: the ethical gray zones, the influences of religion and race, and the global inequalities that made such large-scale child migration possible. Meticulously researched and sensitive with its storytelling, What They Stole examines how good intentions can coexist with systemic harm—and how the consequences of systems like the Holts' can reverberate across generations. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In the wake of the Korean War (1950-53), intercountry adoptions between South Korea and the United States grew rapidly. More than 120,000 Korean children were adopted by American families from the 1950s to present day. Two evangelical Christians Harry and Bertha Holt, were early leaders and founded the Holt Adoption Agency. A young couple in Iowa , the Sueppels, worked with the agency to adopt four kids from Korea. What began as a storybook tale of family creation through adoption ended in shocking tragedy.

He was a youth pastor, a devoted father, and a trusted member of his church. From the outside, Matthew Lee Richards seemed like the kind of man any family would be lucky to have. But behind the Bible verses and Sunday smiles… something much darker was festering. One quiet evening, that darkness erupted — and his family paid the price. This is the story of Matthew Lee Richards — a youth pastor who did the unthinkable.

I saw a meme one time that said, “It's funny how sometimes the people you'd take a bullet for are the ones behind the trigger.” Most of the time that's just a metaphor, a way to describe the way it feels when a loved one betrays you. But not always. Sometimes betrayals come written in blood—and more often than not, from somebody you loved and trusted. You couldn't find a clearer example of that than this week's case, a story where two of the most powerful forces in the world—love and greed—clash, and three innocent people end up paying the price.Join Katie and Whitney, plus the hosts of Last Podcast on the Left, Sinisterhood, and Scared to Death, on the very first CRIMEWAVE true crime cruise!

Content warning: substance abuse disorder, lethal substance consumption, domestic violence, intimate partner violence, childhood sexual abuse, sexual abuse, rape, statutory rape, pedophilia, murder, and mediumship. As shared in part one of her story, Kiersten Hathcock is a multi-crime survivor, self-taught carpenter, entrepreneur, author, volunteer intuitive medium, and co-founder of the non-profit organization, The National Institute of Law and Justice. Although she was born and raised in Ohio, her journey has taken her to many places and through many professional phases. It wasn't until turning 36 that her trajectory became much more spiritually-based, and she realized she had become re-attuned to an ability she had first experienced as a child. In the process, she would also recover memories of her own childhood sexual abuse. In uncovering her past, as well as many other victims' untold narratives, she has become an advocate for the voiceless within her work. Since starting her volunteer role as a medium in cold case murders and other related crimes, she has helped bring justice and/or solace to families across the country. The Broken Cycle Media team is so grateful for her energy, advocacy, and openness to share, and the listener's nuanced understanding of Kiersten's narrative.

The three mustaches discuss the disturbing case of the Bever family in Broken Arrow, OK. At around 11:30 p.m. on July 22, 2015, police were alerted to 709 Magnolia Court by a 911 phone call made by 12-year-old Daniel Bever, who stated his brother was attacking the family. Screaming, commotion, and a male voice were heard in the background before the line went dead. Dispatchers tracked the address by searching the number. After a failed attempt to contact the father, David Bever, they dispatched officers to the scene.Try Our New 8% Seltzers at HardAFseltzer.comGet 20% StrikeForceEnergy.com with Promo Code: DrinkinBrosSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/crime-corner-with-jessie-wiseman/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Rome wasn't founded in a season of television, but you can watch it on Tubi. Joined by super-special guests and experts of archaic Rome, Dr. Peta Greenfield and Dr. Fiona Radford (aka The Partial Historians), we dig into the first season of Romulus (2020), an Italian historical drama retelling the founding of Rome. Familicide, divine epiphanies, pre-agricultural wolf cults, eyeball-poking-masks, this show has everything. It's also the only piece of television (to our knowledge) spoken entirely in Archaic Latin. We also did the whole episode in Archaic Latin too. You can find out more about the Partial Historians on their website and listen to their show on most streaming services.

Familicide is impossible to understand. How does a family member kill their entire family? The Lawson Family Murders took place on Christmas Day in 1929. Left in the wake of Charlie Lawson's murderous rampage were the bodies of his wife and six of his children. Also left behind is some spiritual residue in several locations connected to the murders.
