Ret FBI Chief EXPOSES The Lies Of The Austin Drummond FBI Informant Claim  The Austin Drummond case has spiraled from horrifying to surreal. Accused of murdering four members of a family in Lake County, Tennessee, and abandoning a baby in a stranger's yard, Drummond is now spinning a story that he was really a confidential informant for the FBI. According to Drummond, he was recruited to help expose corruption and drug smuggling in Tennessee's prisons. He insists his “cover was blown,” and that he fled not because of guilt, but because his life was in danger. Prosecutors have found no evidence to support this claim. Adding to the chaos are three alleged accomplices: Tanaka Brown, Dearrah Sanders, and Giovonte Thomas. Prosecutors say they provided Drummond with phones, shelter, clothing, and transportation during his weeklong manhunt. Each faces charges of their own. But the bigger question remains: did they believe his story? Or were they knowingly protecting a fugitive accused of slaughtering a family? To unpack all of this, Tony Brueski sits down with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke. From the implausibility of Drummond's informant tale to the psychology of accomplices and manipulation, Robin brings insider expertise to dissect what's real, what's fantasy, and how stories like this are used to confuse, distract, and exploit. This full conversation covers both angles: the informant claim, and the dangerous ripple effects of accomplices pulled into Drummond's orbit. #AustinDrummond #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #FBI #CourtCase #MurderCase #Accomplices #DeathPenalty #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On September 16, 2019, five-year-old Dulce Maria Alavez disappeared from Bridgeton City Park in New Jersey while playing with her younger brother, sparking a massive search and investigation that continues to this day. Despite extensive efforts from local and federal authorities, including the FBI, and widespread media attention, no significant leads have emerged. Witnesses reported seeing a Hispanic man leading Dulce into a red van, but neither the man nor the vehicle was ever identified. The case, which remains unsolved, has deeply impacted Dulce's family and community, who continue to hold out hope for her safe return. Investigators still consider it an active investigation, pursuing every possible lead, as the search for answers continues.(commercial at 7:40)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook sues the Trump administration over her firing, calling the mortgage fraud allegations “unsubstantiated” and claiming the real issue is policy disagreements over interest rates. CDC Director Susan Monarez refuses to step down after being asked to resign, prompting the White House to fire her directly and triggering high-profile resignations across the agency. New reporting from the New York Times shows the FBI probe into John Bolton began under Biden and centers on emails tied to his 2020 memoir, complicating claims of Trumpian retribution. California Governor Gavin Newsom sues to block Trump's use of the National Guard in Los Angeles, while simultaneously expanding his own state's anti-crime operations, drawing charges of contradiction. Governor Newsom accuses President Trump of planning to deploy the National Guard to polling places as part of a scheme to block the next election ... a fevered claim made just hours before Newsom himself rolled out new state-led crime suppression operations across California. All Family Pharmacy: Order now at https://allfamilypharmacy.com/MEGYN and save 10% with code MEGYN10Riverbend Ranch: Visit https://riverbendranch.com/ | Use promo code MEGYN for $20 off your first order.

Fuller— decorated Army veteran, elite firearms instructor, award-winning author, and former Quantico instructor. He's the brains behind acclaimed books like Painting Over Rust: Stories From a 20 Year Odyssey in the FBI, No Safe Alternative: Improving How We Teach Cops to Kill, and his recently released memoir Empathy for the Devil: Interrogating Terrorists in Guantanamo Bay.

Donna Adelson Trial: FBI Agents and Audio Expert Unravel Coded Conversations The Trial of Donna Adelson continued with three key witnesses who each added new dimensions to the state's case against the woman prosecutors say orchestrated the murder-for-hire plot that killed law professor Dan Markel. First up was FBI Special Agent Louis Bronstein, who walked jurors through the undercover surveillance operation that captured Charlie Adelson and Katherine Magbanua discussing the fallout from the FBI's infamous “bump.” His testimony gave jurors a behind-the-scenes look at how investigators staged, recorded, and preserved crucial evidence—evidence prosecutors argue shows Donna's family scrambling to contain a conspiracy. Next was forensic audio expert James McElveen, who helped decode the recordings at the heart of the prosecution's case. In a restaurant filled with background noise and distractions, McElveen explained how he enhanced and clarified the conversations so jurors could hear the words prosecutors believe expose the coded language of the Adelson circle—phrases like “gifts,” “cards,” and “cars” that may have carried far more sinister meaning. Finally, FBI Agent Brian Kendall took the stand to present additional surveillance and investigative details. His testimony tied the pieces together, showing how agents tracked movements, analyzed behavior, and built the narrative of a family under pressure. Kendall's account brought the investigation out of the abstract and back into the reality of Donna Adelson's alleged role in holding the scheme together. Together, Bronstein, McElveen, and Kendall delivered a day of testimony that blended surveillance, science, and strategy. For the jury, it was a layered presentation of how investigators say Donna Adelson operated as the mastermind, pulling strings from behind the scenes while her family carried out the plan. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #DanMarkelMurder #TrueCrimeTrial #CourtroomDrama #MurderForHireCase #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #WiretapEvidence #JusticeForDanMarkel #TrialCoverage Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why Did Three People Help the Quadruple Murder Suspect Austin Drummond HIDE? After four people were found dead in Lake County, Tennessee, and a baby was abandoned in a stranger's yard, authorities launched a manhunt for Austin Robert Drummond. But Drummond wasn't hiding alone. Prosecutors say three people — Tanaka Brown, Dearrah Sanders, and Giovonte Thomas — helped him along the way. They allegedly gave him shelter, clothing, phones, and rides, keeping him ahead of police for days. Each now faces their own charges for aiding a fugitive. But here's the question: did they believe his bizarre FBI informant story? Or were they simply protecting a fugitive no matter what? In this segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to break down the psychology of accomplices. Robin explains how manipulation works, how people with chaotic personal histories can still recruit others to their cause, and why loyalty, fear, or desperation can override common sense. Were these three co-conspirators? Or were they victims of manipulation themselves — convinced by Drummond's narrative that they were helping someone on a covert mission? Robin explores both sides and exposes how violence radiates outward, pulling people into the destruction long after the crime itself is committed. Watch as we dissect the accomplice angle, and uncover what it tells us about Drummond's power to manipulate, deceive, and control those around him. #AustinDrummond #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #RobinDreeke #CourtCase #MurderCase #CrimeAnalysis #Accomplices #DeathPenalty #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Summary of Events The shooter, identified as Robin Westman (born Robert Westman, 23 years old), carried out an attack at a Catholic church and school during mass. Weapons used: pistol, rifle, and shotgun. Casualties reported: 2 children (ages 8 and 10) killed, 17 others injured (14 children and 3 adults). The shooter allegedly took their own life inside the church. The FBI labeled the case as a hate crime and domestic terrorism targeting Catholics, though local police had not fully confirmed the motive. Shooter Background Legally changed name from Robert to Robin at age 17. Described as transgender by commentators in the text. Left behind videos, writings, and a manifesto with disturbing content: Admiration for previous mass shooters. Anti-Catholic, anti-Trump, and anti-Israel messages written on firearms and magazines (e.g., “Kill Donald Trump,” “Israel must fall”). Obsession with school shootings and extremist rhetoric. Mother previously worked at the same school; shooter graduated from it in 2017. Political & Media Reactions Trump administration officials and FBI leadership framed the shooting as an act of religiously motivated hate. Commentary in the document accuses Democrats and liberal media of downplaying the hate-crime angle and focusing instead on gun control. References to Amy Klobuchar, Jen Psaki, and the Minneapolis mayor, criticizing their calls for tighter gun laws and for allegedly ignoring the ideological/mental health aspects. The mayor’s emotional remarks about gun violence and children’s safety are quoted, but framed as anti-gun rhetoric. The commentary repeatedly emphasizes a pattern of transgender shooters and accuses mainstream media of suppressing that detail. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

The resignations of senior leaders at the CDC is a calamity. People with decades of expertise in infectious disease are leaving the agency because the new director—who Trump just appointed—refused to get on board with RFK's anti-vax crusade, including limiting access to Covid boosters. And Wednesday's violence in Minneapolis may be a sign that the FBI should be keeping its eye on the threats from domestic terror instead of arresting day laborers at Home Depot. Meanwhile, Trump's threat to the Fed's independence could pose a real risk to the stability of the U.S. Plus, more on the shifting attitudes about Israel among Dems, the latest attack on Kyiv is another reminder of how much Putin is mocking Trump, and remembering Katrina 20 years later.

If you're a longtime listener, you probably remember my interview with Joe Pistone, the real Donnie Brasco. But I forgot to ask one important question: Where did the name Donnie Brasco even come from? Turns out, it wasn't made up. Donnie Brasco is a real person. He's Joe Pistone's nephew. And not just any nephew — an undercover FBI agent who followed in his uncle's footsteps. This story blew my mind, and I wouldn't have known about it if it weren't for my friend and fellow podcaster Jerri Williams, host of FBI Case File Review. Jerri interviewed both Joe Pistone and the real Donnie Brasco. Yes, both of them. This might be the FBI's worst-kept secret, and it's finally out. This is history being rewritten, and I had to share it with you. So here it is... Part 1 of JerrI's episode, re-shared with her blessing.

Children have been killed and injured while attending mass at their K-8th grade Minneapolis Catholic school. The 23-year-old shooter brought multiple firearms: a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun—all purchased legally and recently. President Trump has ordered flags lowered to half-staff, as did Minnesota's Governor Walz. Now, the FBI director says they are investigating the shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and possibly as a hate crime. Retired FBI agent and FOX News contributor Nicole Parker joins the Rundown to share where the investigation into this mass shooting may lead in the days to come as law enforcement searches for answers. A recent Gallup poll indicates that most Americans now believe moderate drinking is harmful to their health, contributing to a steady decline in alcohol consumption in recent years. Board-certified rheumatologist Dr. Mahsa Tehrani joins the podcast to discuss the link between alcohol use and increased cancer risk, the rise of the "sober curious" movement, and how this shifting public sentiment about alcohol consumption may influence upcoming revisions to the federal dietary guidelines.

My Mom Washed the Money” — Donna Adelson Directly Tied to Murder Plot The Donna Adelson trial has taken a dramatic turn — and the testimony laid out in court may be the most damning evidence yet against the Adelson family matriarch. For years, prosecutors have painted Donna as the controlling force behind the plot to murder Dan Markel, her former son-in-law. But now, through sworn testimony and financial records, the paper trail and personal involvement are finally in full view for the jury. Former girlfriend of Charlie Adelson, Katherine Magbanua, testified that every time she and Charlie discussed “the job” — hiring someone to kill Markel — Charlie would suddenly step away to call his mother, Donna, before returning to push her harder. She said this happened repeatedly. Donna wasn't a background character — she was being consulted in real time. Magbanua also revealed that Charlie told her the murder was meant to “relieve his family's suffering,” specifically pointing to his parents, Donna and Harvey Adelson. That testimony directly tied Donna's own emotions and pressure into the motive. Perhaps most shocking — Magbanua described receiving a damp, molding payout in cash. When she asked Charlie about it, he told her: “My mom washed the money.” This directly links Donna to handling the proceeds of the crime. And then came the forensic accounting. Expert witness Mary Hull testified that Katherine Magbanua was placed on the Adelson Institute payroll after the murder — and that every single one of the 44 paychecks she received was signed by Donna Adelson. The payments stopped abruptly after the infamous FBI “bump,” when undercover agents confronted Donna in 2016. This isn't speculation. This is testimony, records, and signatures — all pointing toward Donna Adelson's deep involvement in planning, paying for, and covering up the murder of Dan Markel. Was Donna Adelson the true mastermind behind the crime? Or was she just another player in a toxic, criminally enmeshed family? The jury will decide — but the evidence is stacking up against her.

Austin Drummond's Wild FBI Story — Debunked by Former FBI Chief Austin Robert Drummond, accused of murdering four members of a Tennessee family and abandoning a baby in a stranger's yard, is now spinning a story that's raising eyebrows. According to him, he wasn't a killer at all — he was actually a confidential informant for the FBI. Drummond claims he was recruited to help expose corruption and drug smuggling inside Tennessee's prisons. He insists his “cover” was blown, forcing him to flee — not because he was guilty of murder, but because his life was in danger. It's a story that sounds ripped straight out of a crime thriller. But does it hold any water? In this segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to cut through the noise. Drawing on his experience recruiting, managing, and handling confidential informants, Robin explains why Drummond's story doesn't just fall apart — it was never plausible in the first place. From the strict protocols required for informant handling, to the FBI's need for control and reliability, Robin makes it clear: Drummond would be the last person you'd ever want as a source. So is this just another manipulation tactic from a man facing the death penalty? Or could there be a grain of truth to his claim? Robin lays out the reality, showing how narratives like this serve to distract, confuse, and pull focus away from the victims. Watch as we dissect Drummond's so-called FBI defense, and expose why it's far more likely a desperate story than a defense rooted in fact. #AustinDrummond #TrueCrime #FBI #MurderCase #HiddenKillers #CrimeAnalysis #RobinDreeke #CourtCase #DeathPenalty #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson Trial: Undercover Agent “Sammy” Details Sting Operation to Provoke Donna's Reaction The Trial of Donna Adelson took a tense turn as undercover FBI agent “Sammy” testified about his role in the bold operation known as “the bump.” Disguised as a gang member with supposed ties to the Latin Kings, Sammy approached Donna Adelson in a parking lot, handing her a note and suggesting that some people involved had already been “taken care of” while others had not. The goal was clear: rattle Donna enough to trigger a telling response—and it worked. Sammy explained to jurors how the sting was carefully orchestrated. While he delivered the message face-to-face, agents were already monitoring wiretaps on the Adelson family's phones. Almost instantly after the encounter, Donna picked up her phone and dialed her son Charlie Adelson. That call, intercepted and recorded, became a centerpiece of the prosecution's case. Jurors heard Donna's own words in conversations with Charlie, including coded remarks that prosecutors argue reveal the depth of her involvement. This testimony pulled back the curtain on how undercover tactics and surveillance combined to build a case that prosecutors say shows Donna as a key player—not just an anxious mother. Sammy emphasized that this wasn't a chance meeting; it was a deliberate move to shake loose the truth and confirm suspicions investigators already had. Why does this matter? Because the jury didn't just hear secondhand accusations—they heard Donna's own immediate reaction under pressure. Rather than distancing herself or seeking help, she called Charlie, the very person prosecutors say worked hand-in-hand with her to arrange Dan Markel's murder. For the state, Sammy's account of the bump—and the recordings it triggered—may be some of the most compelling evidence yet that Donna was at the center of the conspiracy. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #UndercoverAgent #TheBump #FBI #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #CourtroomDrama #FloridaTrial Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Donna Adelson Trial: Undercover Agent “Sammy” Details Sting Operation to Provoke Donna's Reaction The Trial of Donna Adelson took a tense turn as undercover FBI agent “Sammy” testified about his role in the bold operation known as “the bump.” Disguised as a gang member with supposed ties to the Latin Kings, Sammy approached Donna Adelson in a parking lot, handing her a note and suggesting that some people involved had already been “taken care of” while others had not. The goal was clear: rattle Donna enough to trigger a telling response—and it worked. Sammy explained to jurors how the sting was carefully orchestrated. While he delivered the message face-to-face, agents were already monitoring wiretaps on the Adelson family's phones. Almost instantly after the encounter, Donna picked up her phone and dialed her son Charlie Adelson. That call, intercepted and recorded, became a centerpiece of the prosecution's case. Jurors heard Donna's own words in conversations with Charlie, including coded remarks that prosecutors argue reveal the depth of her involvement. This testimony pulled back the curtain on how undercover tactics and surveillance combined to build a case that prosecutors say shows Donna as a key player—not just an anxious mother. Sammy emphasized that this wasn't a chance meeting; it was a deliberate move to shake loose the truth and confirm suspicions investigators already had. Why does this matter? Because the jury didn't just hear secondhand accusations—they heard Donna's own immediate reaction under pressure. Rather than distancing herself or seeking help, she called Charlie, the very person prosecutors say worked hand-in-hand with her to arrange Dan Markel's murder. For the state, Sammy's account of the bump—and the recordings it triggered—may be some of the most compelling evidence yet that Donna was at the center of the conspiracy. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #UndercoverAgent #TheBump #FBI #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #CourtroomDrama #FloridaTrial Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Austin Drummond's Wild FBI Story — Debunked by Former FBI Chief Austin Robert Drummond, accused of murdering four members of a Tennessee family and abandoning a baby in a stranger's yard, is now spinning a story that's raising eyebrows. According to him, he wasn't a killer at all — he was actually a confidential informant for the FBI. Drummond claims he was recruited to help expose corruption and drug smuggling inside Tennessee's prisons. He insists his “cover” was blown, forcing him to flee — not because he was guilty of murder, but because his life was in danger. It's a story that sounds ripped straight out of a crime thriller. But does it hold any water? In this segment, retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Tony Brueski to cut through the noise. Drawing on his experience recruiting, managing, and handling confidential informants, Robin explains why Drummond's story doesn't just fall apart — it was never plausible in the first place. From the strict protocols required for informant handling, to the FBI's need for control and reliability, Robin makes it clear: Drummond would be the last person you'd ever want as a source. So is this just another manipulation tactic from a man facing the death penalty? Or could there be a grain of truth to his claim? Robin lays out the reality, showing how narratives like this serve to distract, confuse, and pull focus away from the victims. Watch as we dissect Drummond's so-called FBI defense, and expose why it's far more likely a desperate story than a defense rooted in fact. #AustinDrummond #TrueCrime #FBI #MurderCase #HiddenKillers #CrimeAnalysis #RobinDreeke #CourtCase #DeathPenalty #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tommy & Ben dig into the FBI's raid on John Bolton and how Pete Hegseth's firing of the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency fits into Trump's ongoing ideological purges of the US intelligence community. They discuss Israel's criminal “double tap” strike on Gaza's Nasser Hospital, The Free Press's sanctimonious reaction to criticism of their reporting about starvation in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's constant moving of the goalposts on a ceasefire deal, why Trump's meeting South Korean president Lee Jae Myung was humiliating for America, Trump's lies and delusions about being a peacemaker, the latest on Iran negotiations, why Australia expelled Iranian diplomats, and Putin's answer to Eurovision.
