Romina Boccia joins Nicholas Anthony to discuss how the shutdown centers on demands to extend subsidies for earners making well above median household income—all the way up to $500,000 annually. Federal workers and SNAP recipients have been offered up as political collateral for a deal that would cause an unprecedented $1.5 trillion in additional deficit spending—all while we continue trucking toward a fiscal cliff.Show Notes:Romina Boccia and Tyler Turman, "Food Stamp Shutdown Reveals the Fragility of Federal Welfare," Cato at Liberty Blog, October 30, 2025Romina Boccia and Tyler Turman, "End Obamacare's Welfare for the Wealthy COVID Credits," Cato at Liberty Blog, October 23, 2025Romina Boccia and Tyler Turman, "Welfare Digest | End the ACA Subsidies for the Well-Off," Debt Dispatch, October 22, 2025Romina Boccia and Ritvik Thakur, "Debt Digest | Remove Obamacare Regulations Instead of Extending COVID-era Credits," Debt Dispatch, October 14, 2025Romina Boccia, "Shutdown Theatrics Just Distract Us from the Real Problem: Obscene National Debt," New York Post, October 2, 2025Romina Boccia and Ritvik Thakur, "Debt Digest | Let Obamacare COVID Credits Expire," Debt Dispatch, October 2, 2025Romina Boccia, "Thoughts About the Government Shutdown," Cato at Liberty Blog, October 1, 2025Romina Boccia, Ritvik Thakur, and Ivane Nachkebia, "Debt Digest | Government Shutdown Is Likely," Debt Dispatch, September 8, 2025 Hosted on Acast.

Three years after Jeffrey Epstein's death inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center, the public was still left in the dark. The Department of Justice's Inspector General had yet to release a full report, and most of the internal findings remained sealed or redacted. The official story — suicide by hanging — was backed by the New York City Medical Examiner, but contradicted by independent forensic experts like Dr. Michael Baden, who found Epstein's neck injuries to be “more consistent with strangulation than hanging.” Meanwhile, crucial evidence went missing or malfunctioned: security cameras outside his cell failed, logs were falsified, and the two guards on duty admitted to sleeping and browsing the internet instead of checking on him. No clear timeline of his final hours has ever been publicly established. For a man under the government's watch in one of the most secure facilities in America, the lack of transparency was staggering — and it left even the most rational observers suspicious.By the third anniversary of his death, the unanswered questions had hardened into national cynicism. The phrase “Epstein didn't kill himself” became a cultural punchline, a shorthand for public mistrust of institutions. Federal officials insisted accountability had been taken — the guards were charged and later released after a plea deal, and the prison itself was slated for closure — yet the broader inquiry into systemic negligence vanished from public view. Victims received settlements, but no comprehensive investigation ever detailed who enabled Epstein's empire, who protected him, or what really happened inside that cell. The silence from the Justice Department only deepened the perception that some secrets were too big to expose.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax Podcast, I talk with Dr. Matthew Fiedler about the new One Big Beautiful Bill Act—and what it could mean for your healthcare and taxes. We break down how the government shutdown affects healthcare access, why there are major Medicaid cuts, and what trade-offs come with the new tax cuts. The conversation highlights the challenges faced by low and moderate-income individuals in accessing healthcare, especially in light of new administrative requirements and potential loss of coverage. We also talk about what this means if you're self-employed or run a small business. With shifting healthcare policies and tax laws, good bookkeeping and clear financial records matter more than ever. Dr. Fiedler emphasizes the need for a more rational approach to healthcare financing and the importance of bookkeeping for self-employed individuals.

Federal Tech Podcast: Listen and learn how successful companies get federal contracts
A recent study from Carnegie Mellon University is titled "AI Agents Fail at Office Tasks Nearly 70% of the Time." Federal agencies are adopting Agentic AI for the efficiency it can deliver. Unfortunately, many do not realize that Agentic AI is prone to operational risks, ranging from technical glitches to legal complications to accidental database deletion. When Agentic AI causes problems at a federal agency, there can be lives at stake. Today, we sat down with Travis Rosiek, Rubrik's Public Sector Chief Technology Officer. During the interview, he explores the federal challenges of implementing Agentic AI, building an Agentic AI inventory, and making Agentic AI visible, auditable, and reversible. CHALLENGES Everyone —from a systems administrator to an agency administrator —knows that data must be backed up. However, very few understand that Agentic AI is a collection of agents that can be attacked, just like a database. Rubrik offers the capability to reassure users that Agentic AI can be reversed if malicious actors enter the picture. STARTING POINT Most cybersecurity professionals agree that one starts by understanding a system's apps, data, and connections. Five years ago, it was easy; getting a grasp on what Agentic AI connects to is a much more intangible concept. During the interview, Travis Rosiek unpacks Rubrik's history and its unique ability to understand complex systems. CAREFUL In a rather shocking statement, Rosiek says one should approach introducing technology with the assumption that it will fail. This is not a pessimistic approach, but a nuanced understanding of how complexities in current systems can lead to unintended consequences. Rosiek advises starting with the end goal in mind, planning for worst-case scenarios, and building trustworthy AI architectures to mitigate risks and ensure reliable operations.

Listeners, major headlines surround Sean Combs, famously known as Puffy or P Diddy, as the world watches the aftermath of his high-profile federal conviction. According to CBS News, Combs was sentenced to just over four years in prison—officially 50 months—after being found guilty of two prostitution-related charges in a New York court earlier this autumn. The decision follows a lengthy, closely watched trial in which Combs was acquitted of more severe racketeering and sex trafficking charges, but the prostitution-related convictions carried serious weight in the judge's ruling.As covered by ABP Live and Moneycontrol, the 55-year-old music mogul has already begun serving his prison term at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal prison in New Jersey known for its rehabilitation and drug treatment programs. The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed his official intake at the Fort Dix facility, which is recognized for keeping high-profile inmates safe while also offering educational and rehabilitative programs. His legal team reportedly requested this particular placement to address both safety and rehabilitation as he serves his sentence. Federal documentation and officials state that Combs's earliest projected release is set for May 8, 2028, unless any early release is granted due to conduct or participation in programs.This dramatic chapter comes after decades of Combs being a powerful influence in music, fashion, and business, as detailed by both Klavan Trading and Diafrikonnect. Despite his legacy, recent developments have shifted the focus from his entrepreneurial success to intense public and legal scrutiny.Meanwhile, the case has spawned ongoing media coverage with specials such as Sean Diddy Combs: The Sentencing and The Verdict, examining explosive testimony, courtroom drama, and the influence of Combs' celebrity status on the legal proceedings, as reported by CBS News. In parallel, his legal team continues to pursue possible appeals, and according to AOL, they have even reached out to high-profile political figures regarding possibilities for intervention.No public statements have been made recently by Combs about his time behind bars, but the public remains keenly interested in his condition and any new developments in his case.Thank you for tuning in.

Neighboring Haiti and Cuba also reported damage and multiple fatalities from Hurricane Melissa. In the United States, the so-called shutdown has reached a full month with no end in sight. Federal employees have begun to miss paychecks, and critical services - like the Head Start program and air traffic control, anticipate crippling shortages and/or indefinite delays. Food banks around the continent are bracing for a massive influx of employed, malnourished citizens. And a black Maryland teen was detained at gunpoint after his school A.I. program erroneously categorized the male student's bag of Dorito's tortilla chips as a firearm.

Count Your Days: Layoffs SURGE, Food Banks OVERFLOW with Federal Worker+The Big Beautiful Boycott
The Constitution, the Militia, and Federal Overreach Guest: Rob Natelson Rob Natelson clarifies that the militia, or National Guard, is fundamentally a state force under gubernatorial command, though Congress can authorize the President to call it forth to execute federal laws, suppress insurrections, or repel invasions. Recent court cases concerning President Trump's use of the Guard to protect federal buildings hinged on whether its use was truly "necessary" under constitutional law. Natelson warns that the modern trend of federalizing the militia, including the Pentagon's order to form quick response units, directly contradicts the Constitution's original limits on federal authority. 1937 FDR MARYLAND
PREVIEW: Canadian National Unity: Alberta's Grievance Over Equalization Payments and Pipeline Prevention Guest: Conrad Black Conrad Black discusses the state of Canada's national unity, highlighting that Alberta feels unfairly treated by the federal government. Alberta sends substantial wealth to Ottawa through equalization payments, a system where money from prosperous provinces is transferred to ensure less prosperous provinces can provide equivalent service levels. Alberta has traditionally been relatively uncomplaining about its role in these payments but now feels it receives little back in return. More significantly, Alberta believes its energy resources are being undermined by federal policy. The province's primary complaint is that it has been prevented for the past decade from building pipelines, both east and west, to utilize its oil and gas reserves, for which there is strong global demand. Black concludes that apart from this critical issue, national unity is relatively stable, and provinces are waiting to see what changes, if any, the new prime minister will implement regarding this contentious policy.

Tore describes the poisoning of her dog Nyx last night, and the malicious molestation she's been consistently experiencing. Nyx is in the veterinary hospital and fighting for her life. Thugs used a balloon and toxic bait. There is every sign this is Brennan's people. There's a lead bitch at the eye of this storm. A line has been crossed. It's a woman with a clear pattern of conduct. Stalkers are breaking the law when doing much less. False claims and free speech differ. Her profile shows she's a POS. Gloves are now off. The FBI is on it. These teeth can smile, but they really bite too. Now you will see. Pray for Nyx.
Congress is shut down. War drums are beating on the Venezuela coast. Federal workers and troops are on the brink, and democracy is on the ropes. Happy Halloween! Ugh. It's many more tricks than treats this year. For that—and this Football Friday—your host Paul Rieckhoff welcomes a guest right at the center of the storm: Democrat Congressman Ro Khanna (CA-17), a powerful leader at the intersection of American politics and Silicon Valley innovation. He represents the home of tech—and a possible candidate for President (He'll talk about that). In this must-hear conversation, Rieckhoff challenges Khanna on his party's plans to try to slow down Trump, the Dem strategy on the shutdown, how long this madness will last, and if Congress can get anything done at all since they're not even in session. And Khanna thoughtfully pulls back the curtain on the dysfunction in Congress, the dangers of unchecked war powers, the tech elite's disconnect from American service, and why real patriotism still matters. And the rare examples of when far right Majorie Taylor Greene and far left İlhan Omar might sign on to the same bills. Khanna also discusses how Democrats and America can reclaim their soul—and shares his Halloween and football picks along the way. End your week with a fast, fierce and independent blast of independent information, analysis and perspective. In a style that will satisfy like a King Size Snickers in your Halloween bag.

Hurricane Melissa, the strongest storm to hit the Caribbean in modern times, left a wake of destruction in Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti that will take years to recover from. A Jamaican climate physics professor describes the toll of this climate catastrophe, and a meteorologist joins us to explain how the storm grew so ferocious in the blink of a hurricane's eye. Also, Gwich'in Alaska Natives, which consider the land of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge sacred and local Porcupine Caribou as relatives, are expressing alarm at how renewed prospects of drilling in this fragile environment could upend their world. And the Pacific Northwest of the US harbored a serial killer hotspot of sorts in the 1970s, associated with the neurotoxin lead. Seattle-born author Caroline Fraser explores this link in her book Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers. She discusses how dangerously high lead exposure from smelters and gasoline may have led to the increase of violence and murders in the region. --- Federal funding for public radio has ended.

It's Friday, October 31st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Sudanese police arrest pastor for not giving Muslim the church In an apparent attempt by a Muslim businessman in Sudan, Africa to seize church property, the police arrested and jailed a pastor on October 28th in River Nile State, reports Morning Star News. At 6:00pm, two police officers arrived at the home of Rev. Daud Kachu of the Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church in Atbara and presented him with an arrest warrant. When congregation members said he needed to speak with the church attorney first, the officers initially feigned understanding, but two other policemen, hiding behind the church building, appeared and forced Pastor Kachu into a vehicle. They took him to the Atbara police station, where he was jailed. An intensive interrogation followed on October 29th, and police conveyed the Muslim businessman's demand that he had 30 days to vacate the church premises. The police officers said, “The law is above your religion.” Police demanded that the pastor sign a document stipulating that he would no longer object to anyone trying to seize the church property, but the pastor refused. Rev. Kachu, who has led the church for 30 years, was initially denied bail, but police later released him after intervention by the church attorney. In Psalm 105:15, God warns, “Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.” Box Office Massacre: October Revenue Falls to 27-Year Low, Excluding Pandemic Halloween is shaping up to be scarier than ever for Hollywood and its exhibition partners, but not in a good way, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Domestic box office revenue for October 2025 is expected to come in at roughly $425 million — the worst showing in 27 years, according to Comscore. This excludes October 2020, the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, Two problems. First, many October titles simply didn't resonate with general audiences. Second, fewer people are going to the silver screen. MN Supreme Court allows men, pretending to be women, to compete in powerlifting The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled unanimously on October 22nd that men have a right to cheat in women's sports, reported Fox News. The particular sport in question makes the ruling even more outrageous—powerlifting -- where men have a decided strength advantage biologically speaking. Don't forget: This is the state where Governor “Tampon Tim” Walz put tampons in boys' bathrooms while letting boys go into girls' bathrooms. Walz and his Democrat predecessor, Mark Dayton, appointed all of the state's Supreme Court justices. The fact that the decision was unanimous proves how the Left is “all in” on radical transgender ideology. The New Left tells women today, “You have to let a man watch you undress and your daughter has to compete against boys.” Trouble In Chinatown In New York City's Chinatown district, illegal vendors are selling counterfeit merchandise like fake Gucci purses, designer clothing, and high-end watches, reports Breitbart.com. That's not only illegal, it also hurts legitimate merchants who cannot compete with the fake knockoffs. Merchants have repeatedly complained to the city, but to no avail. Federal immigration police launched an enforcement operation. They arrested nine illegal aliens, most of whom had committed additional crimes. Their rap sheets included robbery, assaulting police officers, drug trafficking, drug possession, forgery, and domestic violence. Gary Bauer of Campaign for Working Families, wrote, “This enforcement operation was a ‘win-win' for New York City. Immigration police got rid of illegal merchants and criminals. “But what happened? There was a riot in Chinatown as leftists rushed into the streets to prevent immigration police from doing their jobs. This is what the Left has fomented around America. They have inspired an insurrection that is resisting federal law enforcement.” Tucker Carlson: Abortion enthusiasts have a “religious fanaticism” about killing In the footsteps of the late Charlie Kirk, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson took a strong stand for life recently during a Turning Point USA event at Indiana University in response to a pro-abortion student, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Listen. STUDENT: “A lot of what's happening in this country with people using religion to justify their stance against abortion. People are using religion….” CARLSON: “May I just suggest something. I've never seen religious fanaticism like I see among the abortion enthusiasts. (applause) From my perspective, it's so obviously a child sacrifice rite. “The number of unintended pregnancies in an age of universally available free birth control is probably pretty low. They happen, okay. The wicked, gleeful enthusiasm that people have for abortion.” STUDENT: “Who is enthusiastic?” CARLSON: “Oh? Shout your abortion? (laughs) I think there's some enthusiasm. Putting an abortion truck outside the Democratic Convention? There's a lot of enthusiasm for it. “I kind of believed the ‘My body, my choice' thing. I really thought that's what it was about. Bodily autonomy.” STUDENT: “That is what's it's about?” CARLSON: “Really? So, where were you on the COVID Vax?” (cheers applause) It's not about that. What it's about is killing. It's about killing and the thrill that people derive from killing another human being and the power they feel when they kill.” STUDENT: “Is that a real argument that you're making?” CARLSON: “No, it's not an argument. It's a reality. I've seen it when people plan wars. I've actually seen that happen. I've seen it when people in power show videos of them killing people with drones or whatever. And they get so high from it. There's no greater thrill than extinguishing life because that makes you ‘God.' I think that's the most evil thing there is, and one of the greatest temptations that people have is to kill because it makes them feel powerful.” Isaiah 59:7 says, “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” Wheel of Fortune no longer family friendly And finally, ANNOUNCER: “From the Sony Pictures studio, it's America's Game …” PEOPLE: “Wheel of Fortune.” The Wheel of Fortune game show is no longer family friendly, reports OneMillionMoms.com. Sadly, they have recently added a puzzle category entitled “What the Fun” which winks at the insinuated profanity of the most obscene word in the English language, making Wheel of Fortune no longer suitable for family viewing. After Pat Sajak hosted it for 41 years, Ryan Seacrest replaced him as Vanna White continues to reveal the correct letters in the hangman style guessing game that enriches contestants with cash and prizes, Parents will have to explain to their children that the primetime program they were once allowed to watch is no longer a clean show.

In a shocking turn of events, new evidence has been revealed that Trump's Federal law enforcement and national guard troops are FIRING at Local law enforcement in Oregon, hitting them with tear gas and pepper balls, facts that will come out in a new trial that starts in front of Judge Immergut. Michael Popok reports on the trial and the fact that the day before it began, the majority of 29 judges that make up the 9th Circuit signaled to Judge Immergut that she is doing the right thing, by tossing out an earlier appeal ruling against her that allowed Trump to deploy the National Guard.

The Constitutional Authority to Deploy National Guard to Protect Federal Facilities Guest: Professor John Yoo Professor John Yoo discusses the President's inherent constitutional authority to use the National Guard to protect federal property and personnel during city disorder. Drawing on the In re Neagle case from 1890, Yoo confirms the federal government's right to use force to execute its functions on American soil. He argues that governors opposing deployment are resisting federal law enforcement, akin to segregationists resisting integration. Yoo clarifies that states can adopt "sanctuary" policies by choosing not to cooperate with federal law, but they cannot constitutionally impede federal agents from carrying out their duties.
