In March of 2015, Denise Huskins was kidnapped, drugged, sexually assaulted, and held for 48 hours. When she was released, police called it a hoax and demanded that she apologize for wasting resources. The media dubbed it the "Gone Girl" case and death threats started flooding in. Except it wasn't a hoax at all. It was a Harvard-educated serial rapist named Matthew Muller who'd been terrorizing California for years. In this episode, we'll go through the kidnapping, the police misconduct that revictimized the survivors, Detective Misty Carausu's brilliant investigative work that finally caught Muller, and how Denise and Aaron turned trauma into national advocacy. From victims to suspects to survivors...their story changed how law enforcement handles sexual assault cases across America.For Survivors of Sexual Violence:- RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)- RAINN Online Chat:https://hotline.rainn.org/online- Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741- National Sexual Violence Resource Center:https://www.nsvrc.org/For Victims of Police Misconduct:- ACLU:https://www.aclu.org/- National Police Accountability Project:https://www.nlg-npap.org/- Innocence Project:https://innocenceproject.org/Mental Health Support:- National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 988- SAMHSA National Helpline: 1-800-662-4357- Psychology Today Therapist Finder:https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapistsSources:San Francisco Chronicle (Henry K.

This week we will discuss how in the 1970s, Fort Worth felt safe — until one ordinary night, after a Valentine's dance, shattered that illusion. A teenage girl vanished, the investigation stalled, and the people who loved her were left waiting as years quietly turned into decades.In this episode, we revisit a Texas cold case about the disappearance and murder of 17-year-old Carla Walker. And how discovering the truth was shaped by the limits of its time, examine how evolving forensic science would eventually force the truth into the open, and explore what happens when justice arrives long after the damage is done.It's a story about memory, time, and the danger of believing we truly know the people around us — and how easily fact can become distorted once a case is finally solved.Sources:Associated Press. “Man Convicted in 1974 Murder of Texas Teen After DNA Breakthrough.” AP News, Associated Press, 2021, https://apnews.com.Dallas Morning News. “Carla Walker Cold Case: DNA Solves 46-Year-Old Fort Worth Murder.” The Dallas Morning News, 2020–2021, https://www.dallasnews.com.Federal Bureau of Investigation. “Combined DNA Index System (CODIS).” FBI, https://www.fbi.gov/services/laboratory/biometric-analysis/codis.Fort Worth Police Department. “Cold Case: Carla Jan Walker.” Fort Worth Police Department, press releases and public statements, 2020.Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “After 46 Years, Arrest Made in Carla Walker Murder.” Fort Worth Star-Telegram, 2020–2021, https://www.star-telegram.com.Inside Edition. “DNA Breakthrough Solves 1974 Murder of Teen Carla Walker.” Inside Edition, 2020, https://www.insideedition.com.National Institute of Justice. “Using DNA to Solve Cold Cases.” NIJ, U.S. Department of Justice, https://nij.ojp.gov.Texas True Crime Blog. “The Murder of Carla Walker.” Texas True Crime, https://txtruecrimeblog.com.Tarrant County District Attorney's Office. “Glen McCurley Convicted of Murder in Carla Walker Cold Case.” Tarrant County District Attorney, 2021.

On February 14, 2017, searchers make a discovery in the woods near Delphi, Indiana that changes the town forever. Abigail Williams and Liberty German are found. What investigators encounter in those first moments triggers an immediate and massive response, including the Indiana State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. For years, almost nothing about this crime scene is made public. It becomes one of the most tightly guarded scenes in modern American law enforcement. Even experienced reporters with deep sourcing are left with little information. Why is so much held back? In Part Two of DEVIANT's extended Delphi series, host Dan Szematowicz moves into the earliest hours of the investigation. We look at what police see, what stands out to them, and what early questions begin shaping the direction of the case. What makes investigators describe the scene as odd and strange? What decisions are made in those first critical hours? What possibilities are considered? And how do those first impressions influence everything that follows? Before turning fully to the evidence, we also pause to remember Abby and Libby as they were in life. Friends. Daughters. Kids with plans. This episode focuses on context, process, and the foundation of the investigation. The timeline matters. The details matter. What was known, and what was not known, matters. We continue step by step. We're not yet drawing conclusions or taking sides...just telling the story as it unfolds.

Lawmakers led by Jamie Raskin are demanding full transparency from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) over the abrupt termination of the investigation into alleged co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. According to the letter from Raskin, nearly fifty survivors supplied detailed testimony identifying at least twenty individuals as part of a sophisticated trafficking ring, yet the probe—originally active under the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York—was transferred to DOJ headquarters and effectively halted in January 2025. Investigators then issued a memo stating they had found no evidence warranting further charges, a conclusion Raskin faulted as ignoring the victims' credible disclosures.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House Democrats press DOJ for details on Epstein co-conspirators probe that was "inexplicably killed" - CBS News

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast:1) An individual who the authorities described as a person of interest has been taken into custody regarding the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie in Arizona more than a week ago, a person familiar with the matter said on Tuesday night. The case, which has attracted international attention, took a dramatic turn earlier Tuesday when the Federal Bureau of Investigation released photo and video images of the possible suspect outside Guthrie’s home near Tucson. A video posted on X shows a masked individual wearing gloves approaching the front door with what appears to be a handgun in a holster and carrying a large backpack. Meantime, the AP reports the FBI and Pima County Sheriff's Department were conducting a court-authorized search at a location in Rio Rico, Arizona, in connection with the investigation.2) At least 10 people are dead and 25 injured after a mass shooting in northeastern British Columbia, according to the police. After a report of an active shooter at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School at 1:20 p.m. local time, responders found six people dead in the school, as well as the suspected perpetrator, who appears to have died from a self-inflicted injury, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a statement. Three victims were airlifted to hospital with serious injuries, but one died in transit. Police said they also identified a residence that they believed to be connected to the incident, where they found another two people dead. Investigators are now searching additional properties to determine the scope of the tragic event, which appears to rank as one of the deadliest mass shootings in Canadian history.3) House lawmakers are set to vote Wednesday on whether to reject some of President Trump’s tariff policies, ahead of a midterm election focused heavily on anxiety over the US cost of living. The votes on the measures — starting with a resolution opposing the president’s tariffs on Canada — are set to come after lawmakers on Tuesday night rejected a last-ditch effort from House Speaker Mike Johnson to prevent them. Johnson, one of Trump’s chief allies in Congress, has led a legislative blockade for months to insulate the tariffs, pushing procedural rules that effectively prevented his chamber from ending the president’s sweeping tariff authority. A fresh Johnson-backed measure would have extended that ban through the end of July.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, host Gary Jenkins takes listeners deep into one of the most chilling and revealing moments in Chicago mob history—a secretive 1967 party for Mob stalwart, Fi Fi Buccieri. It was held at the legendary Edgewater Beach Hotel. What appeared to be a lavish celebration was, in reality, a tightly controlled gathering of roughly 300 mobsters, political figures, and underworld insiders. The occasion marked the 40th birthday of feared Chicago Outfit enforcer Fiore “Fifi” Buccieri, a man whose reputation for violence made him one of the most dangerous figures in the city. Despite not being invited, veteran journalist Bob Wiedrich managed to infiltrate the event, raising serious questions about security, secrecy, and the gathering’s true purpose. This was no ordinary party. Federal surveillance later revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had the room bugged, capturing disturbing conversations—including laughter and casual recollections of torture and murder by Buccieri and his associates. Central to this episode is Buccieri's alleged role in the brutal torture and murder of William “Action” Jackson, a crime that horrified even seasoned law-enforcement agents. These wiretap recordings provide rare insight into the mindset of mob enforcers and the normalization of extreme violence within the Chicago Outfit during the 1960s. The timing of the party was critical. Chicago boss Sam Giancana had recently been released from prison, and rumors swirled that major power moves were underway. Evidence suggests this birthday celebration doubled as a covert mob summit, where leadership issues, alliances, and strategic decisions were quietly discussed away from public view. This party was a who's who of the Chicago Outfit. Men like Mike Glitta, Teets Battalgia, Ceaser DiVarco, Ross Prio, Larry The Hood Bounaguidi, Irvin Weiner, Dominic DiBello, Wee Willie Messino, Joseph Cortino ( former chief of police in Forest Park and several others. You will learn how Anthony Accardo and his driver Jackie Cerone avoided the scene when the cops started taking pictures and writing down names. I also explore the role of the Santa Fe Saddle and Gun Club, an organization tied to questionable fundraising activities that blurred the lines between organized crime, business interests, and local politics. These raffles and social events weren't just about money—they were about influence, access, and control. Throughout the episode, I break down the cast of characters who attended this gathering: loan sharks, enforcers, racketeers, and political fixers. Their interconnected stories reveal a dense web of loyalty, fear, and ambition that defined the Chicago mob scene at its peak.   This episode uses the Edgewater Beach Hotel as more than a setting—it becomes a symbol of mob glamour masking ruthless criminal reality. It's a reminder of how deeply organized crime once penetrated American society, and why these stories continue to fascinate, disturb, and resonate today. 0:04 Chicago Mob Tales 1:39 Fifi Buccieri ‘s Infamy 3:19 Giancana’s Absence 4:22 The Santa Fe Saddle and Gun Club 5:36 Edgewater Beach Hotel 8:36 Police Intelligence Operation 12:22 The Notorious Players 16:02 Entertainment at the Banquet 18:54 Reflections on the Meeting Hit me up on Venmo for a cup of coffee or a shot and a beer @ganglandwire Click here to “buy me a cup of coffee” Subscribe to the website for weekly notifications about updates and other Mob information.

Transcript [0:00] Well, hey, all you wiretappers out there in gangland, wireland, [0:03] especially you guys up in Chicago. Yeah, I’ve done several stories on Chicago. I’m on a Chicago trip right now, I guess. I’m going to do one more with our friend, Mr. Cooley, Bob Cooley. We just haven’t set up a time yet, but I’m going to do one more with him for sure. But I’m going to keep some of these Chicago stories up. I got such a great reaction. You know, you guys, you know, like and share these, as they say, on the apps and on YouTube. But anyhow, let’s go back to March of 1967. [0:36] There was a real well-known reporter named Bob Wendrick at the time. He really covered the mob in Chicago. I mean, he might as well have been a member of the mob in Chicago. He was so close to so many people up there. And he had some really good sources and some inside tracks. And he went to a party, but he wasn’t invited to that party. You know, they never really were going to invite Bob Weindrich to a party. It was $25 a plate. There was about 300 outfit mobsters and their associates attended this party. Some of their political associates even. They called a chief of police and I think a mayor of a suburban city. It was at the Edgewater Hotel. It was sponsored by the Santa Fe Saddle and Gun Club. It was to honor the birthday of outfit enforcer, killer, and loan shark Fiore Fifi Bussieri. Fifi was a vicious killer, man. I mean, he was bad. Straight out of the Capone days. [1:36] And he was kind of best known in more modern times. It happened not too long before this party, I believe, or around this time, maybe right after. [1:48] He took part in the multi-day, I believe, three-day torture and murder of a bookie, a great big fat bookie named William Action Jackson. There’s some images, some pictures, a picture of him in his trunk was showing a lot of the torture that they did to him out there. I’ve seen it on the Internet. They kind of cut back on those pictures and try to keep those from getting circulated around on Facebook and some of the social media apps. I assume it’s still out there. Um, but anyhow, the Bureau had a, had a hidden microphone in a guy’s house, Jackie, the lackey Saron, who was, uh, uh, a Cardo’s driver at the time had a, had a hidden microphone in there and Jackie Saron and a couple others. And one of them was Fifi Sierra, Bussieri. I don’t remember who else it was. We’re laughing about Lacks and Jackson’s reactions to the cattle prod and some of the other gruesome details. [2:45] They thought he was talking to the hated FBI agent Bill Romer at the time, but in fact, he was not. He wasn’t talking to anybody. I did find one blurb where he was thought to be a child molester. So, you know, I don’t know. And I’m thinking it was a child of one of his girlfriends or something like that. I’m not sure. But anyhow, they tortured the heck out of him for about three days. Fifi came out of the 42 gang. If you remember, it was Alibaba and the 40 Thieves, so that meant there was 41 in Alibaba’s gang, and they wanted to have one more [3:17] than Alibaba, so they named themselves the 42 Gang. This party happened just as Sam Giancana was getting out of jail. [3:25] He didn’t attend, and he left for Mexico about that time to avoid further grand jury appearances. He’d been in jail about a year, I think, because they give him the old give you immunity and you have to testify. If you don’t, then they find you in contempt of court and send you to penitentiary or a jail for a year or so for the length of grand jury. And so he left town right after that and went down to Mexico for several years. Some speculate this meeting was really to get everybody together in one place and have some private meetings off the side without law enforcement really knowing what was going on, where Ricardo and Paul the Waiter Rica would name Joey Doves Iupa as the new boss in place of Gen Cona and make some other personnel shifts. You know, a few years later, when Giancana comes back, there’ll be a whole string of murders around the time he’s murdered because of some of his people that were always loyal to Giancana. [4:22] This Santa Fe Saddling Gun Club, anybody ever heard of that? I had not heard of this before. It was a registered club. The president was Joseph Scaramuza, who owned a gun store at Halstead & Taylor, which is, I believe that’s right down there in the middle of Mobland. There was an informant in the jfk files as i was researching scaramusa there was an informant that claimed that scaramusa knew jack ruby well and as they checked into scaramusa over that they found found that this halstead gun store that he owned had sold three pistols that were recovered after some puerto rican terrorists shot up the house of representative a few years before now you know what all that means i don’t know but uh and i remember that when i was a little kid these puerto Puerto Ricans, uh, now, uh, they tried to, they were trying to assassinate Harry Truman, who was staying out of the white house and the Blair house, uh, which is, I think maybe that’s where the vice president stays. Sometimes I’m not sure. Anyhow, he was not in the white house and they, they had a plan to assassinate him. They also went into the house of representatives and shot it up. They wanted complete freedom from the United States at the time. Now there’s not been any Puerto Rican freedom movement since that I know of. Anyhow, um. [5:36] The Edgewater Beach was a faded but once grand dom of hotels along Lake Michigan. They had their own beach for a while. Then something moved in between them and the beach. And it was about to declare bankruptcy. It was located a few guys that live in Chicago. It was 5555 North Sheridan. [5:56] And now members of the Chicago Police Intelligence Unit had found out about that themselves. It was like Weindrich had. Maybe they hip Weindrich to it. That all works, all that little undercover stuff. You have an employee at the Edgewater who knows somebody who knows somebody, and the work starts leaking out. When you have something this big, you have 300 people there, and it was really to make some money too, charged $25 a plate, and they did another little fundraiser. They’ve been selling raffle tickets all over Chicago and all, like down in northwestern Indiana. And in Indiana, anywhere that the outfit had some kind of influence and businesses that they could hold up. It’s like policemen. We used to go out and sell circus tickets. They were like $2 a ticket, but it wasn’t really for a ticket. It was like a support the police circus, which then gave a piece of the money to some police or widows and orphans fund. I don’t remember exactly. This is when I was brand new. and you were given like a handful of circus tickets and you’re supposed to go out to your local businessmen and sell them. Of course, they always bought them. All you had to do was go in and say, you know, I got some police tickets or circus tickets and they’d buy them. And they weren’t exactly even a ticket. They were a coupon and then they helped go buy a ticket. But, you know, that’s what they were doing, and that’s where they were. [7:23] Intelligence unit was milling around the hotel. They were, you know, I think what they were trying to do was waiting to see if the operators of this banquet, as this thing got going, if somebody actually, you know, drew, made a drawing or really raffled off a new car, which is what supposedly the raffle tickets were for, which would give them an excuse then to raid this place, saying it was an illegal lottery and then start really identifying the participants you know all of them that were there make them air everybody give you id and all that and then they had they were really loaded for bear they had 65 cops waiting close by it’s something called the foster avenue beach so it was it was a hell of an operation now the outfit during this time learned that the cops were going to be there and someone called Tony Accardo and Paula Guadarica, who were, you know, supposed to be there. They were like the headliners. They were the big ducks at that show. And really, if it was about having some meetings to realign personnel and name, maybe they’re going to have a making ceremony, but I doubt that. [8:30] But maybe they were going to name Joy Iupa as the new boss because he was the next boss. Somebody warned him not to come. And, of course, Jackie Lackey’s Roan didn’t show up either because he was a Cardo’s driver. [8:47] Cops, I’m going to tell you about some of the people the cops did find there and identify. Ross Prio, his north side loan shark and enforcer who had been Gen Conn’s second command and was reportedly consulted on all outfit murders. Now, Ross Prio, he’d been around. I can’t remember. I think he was out of the 42 gang himself. He had been around since the Capone days and a well-respected guy, had a lot of guys under him. And he was a bad dude. He was a bad actor. He was dangerous as hell and could take part in torturing the whole nine yards. They saw Irving Weiner there. He was a mob-connected bail bondsman. He was a guy who ended up a few years later walking with Alan Dorfman when somebody came up behind Dorfman and shot and killed him. Dorfman was their big guy in the Teamsters. Dorfman had helped him get those loans out of the Teamsters pension fund and loaned to people that wanted to buy Las Vegas casinos. Then everybody would get a kickback from those casinos. So he was integral. He was being investigated as an official of the Twin Cities. [9:54] Food products company and he had my he had partners felix milwaukee phil aldoricio and sam teach battaglia and marshall caifano i mean this guy is erb wiener he was he was a money man for the mob well known as a money man and and he was he was involved with with lombardo joe lombardo and tony splatter and some others and they got a loan for a guy named from the teamsters fund but for a guy named danny seifert they thought danny seifert had started a company with a lot of this money, and he was going to testify about how he got this Teamsters loan is my understanding. And I believe Lombardo and probably Frank Suisse showed up and killed him one day. He never spent a night in jail. Weiner never spent a night in jail. Go figure that. He’s kind of like, almost like Tony Accardo, huh? I saw a guy named Mike Glitta. He was an outfit member who had B-Girl bars, had these kind of hustling bars, and was involved, heavily involved in the porn business now. Um. [10:54] There was a lot of porn shops in Chicago, and Gletta was really, he was the guy on the porn shops. Chicago Crime Commission published something that said he supervised all pornography operations in an area that went from the near north side clear to the Wisconsin state line. So everything from, say, Rush Street on north was his. I guess he wasn’t down in, I think, Old Town is where Redwood met and some porn shops down there. and Frank Suisse was extorting money from some of them. Mob watchers claimed that Glitter always reported directly to Vincent Solano, who was a labor union leader and a capo, and the guy that probably had Tokyo Joe, Joe Ido killed. He was a racket boss on the north side and all the way up to the north suburbs. Identified a guy called Larry the Hood, who I’d seen that name before. It’s a really hard name to pronounce. was a Bonaguiti. [11:54] He was a mob wannabe at the time. As I researched into him, he was really just a wannabe. Hung around the Rush Street bars and he was associated with Mike Glitta. And he’ll eventually get an opportunity when Ross Prio dies and Mike Glitta has a heart attack and he moves on up real quick because he’s always in there around and he knows the porn business and the B-Girl bars on that near north side. And he’s the one that goes around and collects after after Glitter has a heart attack. [12:23] Another Northside vice boss named Joe Caesar Joseph DeVarco, he was dropped off by an underling driver. He came out of the 42 gang himself and is a well-known gangster on the Rush Street area. Dominic DiBello was a Northside gambling operator. He was seen with a friend of his and a fellow gambling operator named Bill Gold, or called Bill Gold. He had a longer name than that, and I don’t know him. If you guys make comments down below, if you know who this Bill Gold was and what the story was with him, he probably just ran a sports book or something or helped with the off-track betting outlets. And they arrived just before a guy named Joseph Cortino, according to the newspaper report. He was a former Forest Park chief of police. He was suspected of protecting gambling operations and leaking law enforcement information to the mob. A guy you hear mentioned, I’ve not really seen much on in detail, Willie Massino, and they called him Wee Willie because he was little, but he was supposedly really, really a bad character. [13:26] Here’s a guy when I believe it was Mario Raginone was invited to go on some kind of a crime, and he saw Willie Massino and somebody else in the area. And he said, uh-oh, if those guys are anywhere in the area where I am and they’ve got me kind of isolated like this, you know, going to do a crime so I’m not telling anybody where I’m going and what I’m doing and who I’m with, you know, they’re going to hit me. And he went in after that. That’s how feared Wee Willie Messino was. He had been a loan shark collector and enforcer for Tony Cardo and a guy named Joseph Gagliano, who I don’t know must have faded off into the woodwork by the 70s. 1970 he went to prison for kidnapping and beating a couple of contractors who owed money to the mob, George and Jack Chiagoris. [14:19] Sounds like they’re maybe Greek, huh? After he got out of the penitentiary, he went to work as an advisor with Marco D’Amico, who was, you know, remember Marco D’Amico had a gambling operation, and that’s who Bob Cooley worked with a lot. And he also did some work for Jackie Cerrone. [14:37] So Turk Torello, James Turk Torello, he was confronted by the cops as he was unloading sound equipment out of his, wherever his car. He yelled at him as they walked up. He said, hey, he said, I got machine guns in these boxes. You want to come and see? He was kind of a wise-ass, you know. He was a capo of the 26th Street crew and directly under Fifi Busseri. One time, he had been sent by an angry mob boss named Sam Giancana, who we all know, Mobo. And he was going to partner up with Jackie Cerrone to kill an outfit member named Frankie Esposito down in Florida. But the Bureau had recorded Giancana’s conversation and warned Esposito. and he came right back around. He didn’t help the Bureau. You know, you go out and you warn a guy and then you try to bring him in and make him a snitch or make him a cooperating witness in the end because they’re trying to kill him. They don’t all come in. And he ended up coming back to Chicago and settled his dispute with Giancana and that hit was canceled. According to the tape recordings, Torello and his killers were going to murder Esposito and cut him up in small pieces and feed him to the sharks off the Florida coast. You know, they had houses down in Florida. That’s where they, that was Jackie Cerrone’s Florida house where they overheard him and Fifi talking about the murdering and torturing Action Jackson. [16:03] Now, I mentioned bringing in the sound equipment. They had entertainment. Vic Dimone was the entertainment that night. Now, Vic Dimone has long-held connections to the Chicago outfit and I believe the Genovese family. I didn’t really go way in deep into him. I’ve got a bunch of notes. I’ll probably do a story just about Vic Dimone. [16:26] Maybe he was the character in The Singer and The Godfather, that kind of a blend of Frank Sinatra and Vic Dimone. As a singer in the Godfather movie. Guys named a couple brothers, Joseph and Donald Grieco, were there. Well, they had been in business with Vic Damone in the Vic Damone Frozen Pizza Company. Paul Rica and Fifi Boussieri had brought the famous singer Vic Damone into the outfits world and got him to lend his name to this frozen pizza business. And what they did, the Grieco brothers, They use it as a cover for their loan shark activities, but, you know, they sold pizzas, too, although I’ve never heard of. I don’t ever remember seeing a Vic DeMone frozen pizza. Vic DeMone had even taken his show to Giancana’s joint, the Armory. And if you’ve ever been by the Armory, it’s just like a neighborhood bar. A neighborhood joint is not a place. But Vic DeMone was big. You know, he would be playing Madison Square Garden maybe at the time or the big clubs, the Copacabana in New York. And they got him to bring his show out to. [17:33] Gincana’s Joint the Armory kind of like at his Villa Venice he got Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis to bring their show there and it was not exactly it was not the Copacabana they tried to make it into the Copacabana of Chicago but it never really got there another guy they saw was an outfit bookmaker and a tough guy out of Cicero who will get killed here in a little bit Sam Sambos Cesario Yeah. [17:59] He was a longtime workhorse. He’s well-liked throughout the whole Chicago underworld, but he made a mistake. He ended up marrying a girlfriend slash mistress, the Gomar of Milwaukee Field Aldericio, while he was in the penitentiary. Two guys showed up with this woman. He marries her. They’re sitting out in front of their house. It was like a brownstone. It was a hot summer night. They’re sitting out in lawn chairs out in front of their house, and two guys pull up and run up and kill him. They say Harry Ailman was the guy that did that. They call that. I’ve had some kickback on this when I said this one time before a few years ago. I didn’t really investigate into it. But, you know, the popular story is that it’s a hit from beyond the grave because Aldericio had already died in prison [18:50] between the time he gave that order and this actual murder. So that is a story of the big meeting at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago. [19:02] It wasn’t exactly like Appalachian or some of the other famous mob meetings, and it was just Chicago only. They didn’t identify that they named anybody from out of town at this thing. Seemed like it was a big moneymaker, maybe a meeting that you could hire some other little meetings in, get people in there that you didn’t really want to be seen with in public. This article, they talked about other politicians and businessmen that were there, but they didn’t really name them. I guess they didn’t want to get sued or whatever, but it was a, it was definitely, it was a fundraiser. He charged 25 bucks a plate and then have that, uh, that lottery for that car. And, and, you know, they never gave that car to anybody. And you know how much money you can raise with, with, you got, you know, a hundred guys or so going out, mob guys going out and raising money, selling lottery tickets at five bucks, 10 bucks each. You can raise a lot of money like that. So maybe it’s just one more big Chicago scam and honored Fifi Boussieri at the time. I don’t know. But anyhow, thanks a lot, guys. I thought it was an interesting story, and I thought you would find it interesting. And some of the people that they named that were there, I wish I’d have been there, but writing down license numbers and taking pictures and all that stuff. So keep coming back. Like and subscribe, as they say. And we’re just going to keep doing this and doing this. [20:24] I’ve gotten some you know I’ve got some things up that are like non-fiction books that are based on mob stuff, I don’t know if that’s okay or not, but I kind of like mixing that up. There’s only so many mob stories out there. You know, I don’t want a lot of these that have already been told. I don’t remember seeing any. I kind of looked around in the other podcast having this story. So I try to find them. You know, give me any tips, your comments that you can. I’ll try to look it up. And if I can find enough information, I’ll do the story on it. So thanks a lot. And adieu to you guys out in Chicago. I bet it’s colder up there than it is down here. Thanks, guys.

According to the Pima County Sheriff's Department, Guthrie was last seen at her home on the evening of January 31 at approximately 9:50 p.m. Evidence found inside the residence indicated foul play and a likely abduction, prompting the Sheriff's Department to open a criminal investigation.The case quickly expanded beyond local law enforcement. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, U. S. Customs and Border Protection, homicide investigators, and search‑and‑rescue teams were brought in to assist. Authorities stated that Guthrie has no known cognitive impairments but does have mobility limitations and requires daily medication essential to her survival.Guthrie is the mother of Savannah Guthrie, a television journalist and co‑anchor of NBC's Today. Following the disappearance, Savannah stepped away from her NBC duties, including co‑hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremonies, to participate in the search efforts.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:23 UTC on Friday, 6 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Brian.

Lawmakers led by Jamie Raskin are demanding full transparency from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) over the abrupt termination of the investigation into alleged co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. According to the letter from Raskin, nearly fifty survivors supplied detailed testimony identifying at least twenty individuals as part of a sophisticated trafficking ring, yet the probe—originally active under the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York—was transferred to DOJ headquarters and effectively halted in January 2025. Investigators then issued a memo stating they had found no evidence warranting further charges, a conclusion Raskin faulted as ignoring the victims' credible disclosures.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House Democrats press DOJ for details on Epstein co-conspirators probe that was "inexplicably killed" - CBS NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General conducted an unannounced inspection of the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Tallahassee, a low-security women's federal prison in Florida, and found alarming and serious operational deficiencies that raise questions about inmate safety, basic hygiene, and institutional competence. Inspectors documented rotting and unsanitary food storage, including moldy bread and insect-infested cereal, rodent droppings, and refrigerators containing spoiled vegetables, conditions that violated Federal Bureau of Prisons policies and posed clear health hazards to those incarcerated there. They also found chronic infrastructure decay, with frequent water leaks so severe that inmates resorted to using sanitary products to block drips, damaged ceilings and walls, worn bedding, inoperable showers and toilets, and pervasive black substance on bathroom surfaces — all reflecting deep neglect in basic living conditions. The facility scored as “high risk” under an OIG risk assessment tool, indicating systemic rather than isolated problems.Beyond physical conditions, the OIG report highlighted staffing shortages and security weaknesses that further undermined safety and order at FCI Tallahassee. Inspectors found ineffective and delayed investigations into staff misconduct, inconsistent search procedures that fueled mistrust among inmates, and procedures that left significant blind spots in camera monitoring, increasing opportunities for contraband and undetected problems. Many misconduct investigations had languished for more than two years, and staff repeatedly misgendered transgender inmates, demonstrating disrespectful and problematic conduct. Inmates reported fear of reprisals for raising complaints, underscoring a breakdown in trust between prisoners and staff. While the report predated Maxwell's transfer and did not focus on her individually, its revelations paint a distressing picture of the facility's conditions and operational failures during the period she resided there, contributing to public concern about the environment where a high-profile prisoner was held.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the hip-hop mogul once known as Puffy and P. Diddy, remains behind bars at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey after his October 2025 sentencing to 50 months for two prostitution-related charges, with a projected release date of May 8, 2028, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons records reported by CBS News. Acquitted of the graver racketeering and sex trafficking accusations that could have meant life in prison, Combs faced a split verdict in July 2025 following his September 2024 arrest, as detailed in AOL coverage.Speculation about a presidential pardon from Donald Trump fizzled when a White House official confirmed no commutation is coming, dashing hopes fueled by Trump's past comments calling Combs "Puff Daddy" and noting their rocky history, per AOL and USA Today reports. Combs' team filed a notice of appeal in the Southern District of New York, signaling ongoing legal fights amid early prison discipline for unspecified infractions, CBS News documents reveal. His lawyer pushed for Fort Dix to address drug issues with enhanced programs and family visits.Away from bars, Combs battles NBCUniversal in a $100 million lawsuit over the Peacock documentary "Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy," denying under oath any role in deaths like Biggie Smalls', sex trafficking, or extortion via tapes, as stated in his filing covered by AllHipHop. A former stylist's abuse lawsuit adds to civil woes, though one sexual battery claim was dismissed.Prison life marks a stark shift for the Bad Boy founder, whose empire once spanned hits like "I'll Be Missing You" and ventures from Cîroc to REVOLT. Recent podcasts like "The Diddy Diaries" dissect his accusers' tales, keeping the saga alive.Thank you for tuning in, listeners. Come back next week for more.

A talk with Eric Robinson, a recently retired Federal Bureau of Investigation agent and former pastor, about what actually works in real-world interrogations—and what doesn't. Drawing on 24 years in the FBI, Eric explains why techniques like friendliness and rapport are so powerful, discusses the use of silence to induce information-sharing, and talks about the importance of asking only a single question at a time. Eric also explains why he thinks nonverbal “body language” cues are not useful in law enforcement and interrogation settings. Other topics include: the reasons why so many people talk at length to police, despite it being so well known that you should ask for a lawyer; the downsides and risks of deceiving people to try to get information and confessions; some body language ideas discussed in Joe Navarro's books; Eric's opinions on the lie detector; and more.

Ilhan Omar of Minnesota was sprayed with a liquid while calling for the impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Many on social media immediately began to question the circumstances surrounding the incident, and many suggested that the congresswoman had staged the attack to elicit sympathy.Ilhan Omar has, in recent years, been accused of immigration-related fraud and is facing scrutiny over her finances, with some officials wondering how her net worth apparently surged so much over such a short period of time. While the liberal media have characterized the government's recent interest in Omar's finances as a partisan vendetta, sources familiar with the matter told the New York Times that the Biden Justice Department similarly felt the need to take a look at the Somali-born representative's finances, campaign spending, and interactions with a foreign citizen. After speaking with Donald Trump by phone on Monday and meeting with border czar Tom Homan on Tuesday, Jacob Frey said Minneapolis would not cooperate in enforcing federal immigration laws. Trump blasted the mayor over the remark, calling it "a very serious violation of the Law."The Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed that agents served a search warrant at the elections office in Fulton County, and sources say the action relates to the 2020 election.The Georgia county that includes Atlanta is at the center of claims from President Donald Trump that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.A CNN correspondent gave a report from Tehran that effectively served as a puff piece for the despotic Iranian regime, omitting the fact that the murderous government had killed thousands of protesters while warning of the Iranian regime's "defiant message" to the Trump administration.TikTok will no longer be on trial when it comes to a lawsuit that claims Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube have platforms that are addictive and harmful to children. TikTok has reportedly decided to settle and agreed in principle just hours before jury selection started in Los Angeles this week. Bloomberg Law reported that, along with TikTok, Snap Inc., the owner of Snapchat, also reached a confidential settlement.Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/support Tapp into the Truth on Rumble.

Part 2 of 2. OA 1230 - Seeing all the obstacles to holding government officials accountable, Congress created Section 1983, allowing citizens to sue for money damages for violations of their civil rights. We cover how that works, the one weird trick it uses to get around state sovereign immunity, and how that accidentally created the infamous qualified immunity doctrine that has made police seemingly unaccountable.

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the hip-hop mogul also known as Puffy or P. Diddy, faces a new chapter behind bars after his recent conviction on two prostitution-related charges. According to CBS News New York, he was sentenced earlier this month to just over four years in prison, with online Federal Bureau of Prisons records showing his expected release date as May 8, 2028, from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. This facility offers specialized drug treatment programs, which his lawyer argued would help Combs address substance abuse issues while maximizing family visitations.The sentencing came three months after a Manhattan federal jury convicted the 55-year-old on charges of arranging interstate travel for sex workers, acquitting him of more serious racketeering and sex trafficking counts that could have meant life in prison. CBS News reports Combs remained emotionless in court as family members, including his mother and six adult children, watched the proceedings. Prosecutors had pushed for over 11 years, but the judge opted for a lighter term.Recent developments include a lawsuit from former stylist Deonte' Nash, who accuses Combs of sexual abuse and violence, as detailed in his exclusive CBS Mornings interview. Combs' defense team, per AOL reports, has challenged the verdict, framing his actions as "commercial voyeurism" involving consenting adults, and suggested a 14-month sentence accounting for time served. Meanwhile, speculation swirls around his finances; he's reportedly sold his private jet and is considering a lawsuit against Netflix, according to spokespeople cited by AOL.AOL also notes Combs plans to relocate to Miami post-release to stay near his mother, amid ongoing civil suits and dismissed cases like a sexual battery claim.Thank you for tuning in, listeners.

Get ready for one of the most fascinating episodes of Tall Boy Radio yet! Hosts Beans and Gaz are honored to welcome a true veteran of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Kenneth Strange.In this deep-dive conversation, Ken gives us an unparalleled look behind the curtain of his distinguished career, offering insights that feel ripped straight from a thriller novel. We start by exploring his work in Counter-Terrorism, discussing the realities of the threat landscape before the pivotal events of 9/11 and how the bureau operated in a less-publicized era of domestic and international security.But the conversation takes some truly unexpected turns as Ken recounts some of the more unusual cases he was tasked with—the kind of assignments that stretch the imagination and challenge the very definition of law enforcement.The highlight of the episode, however, might just be Ken's incredible firsthand account of what it was like to have Hollywood royalty in the classroom. Ken shares stories from his time at the FBI Academy when a young Jodie Foster was embedded with his training group, meticulously studying for her iconic role as Clarice Starling in the blockbuster film The Silence of the Lambs. He reveals the surprising level of detail and dedication she brought to the preparation, and the impact her presence had on the trainees.Finally, we discuss the transition from badge to book, delving into the compelling works Ken has written since leaving the FBI, and how his real-world experiences continue to inform his storytelling.Prepare to be captivated by a life spent in service, secrecy, and fascinating detail.

Sean “Diddy” Combs, also known as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy, remains at the center of one of the most dramatic downfalls in modern pop culture, as his post‑conviction life continues to generate headlines and scrutiny.CBS News New York reports that Combs was sentenced to just over four years in federal prison after a Manhattan jury convicted him on two prostitution‑related charges connected to arranging interstate travel for sex workers, while acquitting him of the more serious racketeering and sex‑trafficking counts that carried a potential life sentence. Online records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons cited by CBS News show he is expected to be released in May 2028 and has been designated to FCI Fort Dix, a federal facility in New Jersey where his lawyers say he will have access to residential drug treatment programs and broader family visitation.According to CBS News' coverage, Combs was disciplined within days of arriving in federal custody, with internal prison documents describing early infractions and indicating a difficult adjustment to life behind bars. CBS News also notes that a former stylist, Deonte' Nash, who testified against Combs at trial, has filed a separate lawsuit alleging years of sexual abuse and violence, adding to the long list of civil claims that have reshaped public perception of the once‑billion‑dollar mogul.The entertainment and gossip press continues to track his behavior on the inside. According to a report summarized by AOL, Combs has allegedly been “throwing tantrums” over the attention another inmate, Luigi Mangione, is receiving in the same New York lockup, suggesting that the once‑omnipresent star is struggling with loss of status and control in prison.In a striking political turn, WTYE Radio reports that Donald Trump has publicly ruled out granting Combs a presidential pardon, even after Combs reportedly sent a personal letter appealing directly to the president for clemency. WTYE notes that the request was tied to his four‑year sentence and the broader collapse of his business empire, but Trump has made clear he is not considering relief.Meanwhile, outlets like NewsNow's Sean Combs feed continue to aggregate ongoing developments, from his incarceration and lawsuits to retrospectives on his influential work with Bad Boy Records, Sean John, and his Grammy‑winning music career, underscoring the contrast between his historic cultural impact and his current status as a disgraced inmate awaiting release in 2028.Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

Tonight we're continuing our coverage of the Minneapolis ICE shooting, and the situation is getting even more troubling. New reporting shows the Federal Bureau of Investigation is now blocking state investigators from participating in the case, fueling serious concerns about transparency and the possibility of a cover-up. The shooter has been identified, yet MAGA officials are already racing to justify and excuse his actions, despite mounting evidence and unanswered questions. Why are state authorities being sidelined? Who is controlling the narrative? And will there ever be real accountability, or are we being asked to accept explanations that don't match the facts? We'll break down what's known, what's being withheld, and why trust in this administration is eroding by the hour. This episode is sponsored by Wildgrain.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has repeatedly drawn criticism for missed opportunities, delayed action, and opaque decision-making throughout the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. As early as the 1990s, the FBI received detailed complaints alleging abuse and trafficking, yet those warnings failed to trigger decisive intervention. Victim reports were documented but not meaningfully pursued, evidence languished without aggressive follow-up, and coordination with other agencies appeared inconsistent at best. These early failures allowed Epstein to continue operating for years, expanding both his network and the scale of harm while federal scrutiny remained fragmented and sluggish.Even after Epstein's 2008 non-prosecution agreement ignited public outrage, the Bureau's performance continued to raise alarms. Records battles with survivors, slow or incomplete document releases, and revelations that key investigative leads were deprioritized have reinforced perceptions of institutional breakdown. Critics argue the FBI repeatedly defaulted to narrow interpretations of jurisdiction and authority rather than pressing forward with a comprehensive enterprise-level investigation. The cumulative effect has been devastating: a case marked not by a lack of information, but by a pattern of hesitation and retreat that undermined accountability and deepened mistrust in the Bureau's handling of one of the most consequential criminal investigations of its era.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

A new presidential administration does not typically mean new management at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but typically the incumbent FBI director did not oversee the FBI when it raided the President-elect's house. Given that fact and other standing disputes with the Bureau, it is not surprising that President-elect Donald Trump and Senator Chuck Grassley have informed FBI Director Christopher Wray that he does not have the confidence of both the incoming administration and the incoming Senate majority. President-elect Trump has announced his intention to nominate Kash Patel, a former Congressional staffer and national security staffer in the first Trump administration, to replace Wray. Here to discuss how the FBI got here and where it might go in the next administration is our colleague, Ken Braun.Links: Pursuing the FBI's “Wicked” Russiagate PerpsThe FBI's Bad Apples: The Bureau's Worst Days Are Worth RememberingMatt Taibbi: Kash Patel was totally vindicatedFederal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)Follow us on our socials: Twitter: @capitalresearchInstagram: @capitalresearchcenterFacebook: www.facebook.com/capitalresearchcenterYouTube: @capitalresearchcenter

The recent Epstein files dump has finally produced documentary confirmation of what Maria Farmer has said for decades: in 1996, she formally warned the Federal Bureau of Investigation about Jeffrey Epstein, and those warnings were effectively ignored. For years, the FBI refused to confirm or deny Farmer's account, while she was publicly portrayed as unreliable or exaggerating. The newly released records show that federal authorities were aware of Epstein's conduct far earlier than they ever admitted. This reframes the Epstein story away from bureaucratic incompetence and toward deliberate institutional inaction. The documents establish that Farmer was not speculating or theorizing—she was reporting crimes in real time. Instead of being treated as a key witness, she was sidelined. The result was years of unchecked abuse that could have been interrupted. The files now make clear that the FBI knew exactly who Epstein was long before his eventual prosecution.The unanswered question is why those warnings were ignored, and the files intensify—not resolve—that mystery. One plausible explanation, long suggested by Farmer and others, is that Epstein's status as a potential or actual confidential informant made him untouchable. That possibility would explain the extraordinary resistance to releasing Farmer's records and the institutional hostility she encountered.    One thing is for certain and is now backed by documentation: she told the truth as she understood it, and the authorities failed to act. The FBI's silence and obstruction allowed Epstein to continue operating with impunity. History has now caught up to Farmer's account. What remains is a moral reckoning for the institutions that ignored her—and an overdue acknowledgment that she was right from the beginning.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00006107.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

A former congressmember Terrence John “TJ” Cox, will serve one year and one day in federal prison, a judge ruled Monday. Cox, a Fresno Democrat who served one term in Congress, pleaded guilty in February to one count of wire fraud and one count of wire fraud affecting a financial institution. Investigators used powerful tools to obtain mountains of data, but couldn’t decipher some of it until recently. When he was a popular conservative podcaster, Dan Bongino claimed he had uncovered the biggest scandal in FBI history: Bongino learned something far different after becoming the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s No. 2 official this year: Investigators weren’t hiding evidence, they just didn’t realize they had it.

If you have information on Brookelyn's disappearance, please call the Kentucky State Police: (859) 623-2404 Facebook: / missingbrookelynfarthing   Website: https://www.findbrookefarthing.com/brookes-story/ E-mail Address: ksppubaff@ky.gov Subject: Request for FBI Assistance in the Missing Persons Case of Brookelyn Farthing To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to respectfully request that the Kentucky State Police consider formally seeking assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the ongoing missing persons investigation involving Brookelyn Shae Farthing, who disappeared on June 22, 2013, from Madison County, Kentucky. More than a decade has passed since Brookelyn was last seen, and despite extensive investigative efforts, the case remains unresolved. Given the passage of time and the continued lack of answers, additional federal resources may significantly aid in furthering the investigation and potentially generating new leads. I understand and appreciate the diligent work the Kentucky State Police have devoted to this case. My request is made in the hope that a partnership with the FBI will enhance ongoing efforts and bring renewed momentum to the search for the truth about Brookelyn's disappearance. Thank you for your consideration of this request, and for your continued commitment to seeking justice for Brookelyn and her family.

This week is the anniversary of two events which define the State in the U.S., both in the past and today. In 1969, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Chicago Police Dept. assassinated Black Panther leader Fred Hampton and his associate Mark Clark while they slept in Hampton's home. Hampton had been an up and coming, inspiring, leader in the Chicago community and worked to build coalition with a variety of groups in the area. The FBI had viewed Hampton as a potential “messiah,” who needed to be “neutralized.” When the COINTELPRO program was exposed, it was clear that the FBI had worked to eliminate domestic enemies like Hampton and the Black Panther Party. In 1980, the rape and murder of four Catholic missionary nuns by U.S. backed death squads sparked international outrage and criticism of President Carter's support for the government in El Salvador. Carter initially suspended aid to the regime, he later reinstated it, and President Reagan continued this support. Later in the 1990s, when documents were declassified revealing the extent to which the U.S. support torture and terror campaigns, former NJ congressman Robert Torricelli said that it was "now clear that while the Reagan Administration was certifying human rights progress in El Salvador they knew the terrible truth that the Salvadoran military was engaged in a widespread campaign of terror and torture".Despite a history of these events, the movement continues. As Hampton said, "You can jail a revolutionary, but you can't jail the revolution."In 2025, the Trump administration is sending ICE to terrorize undocumented people in communities across the country, designating dissidents as "terrorists" and provoking war with Venezuela. We also just recently witnessed "blowback" from Salvadoran style death squads in Afghanistan with the shooting of national guard solders in Washington D.C. Here's an encore of our episode from 2020 discussing the terrible events. Much to learn from this history. ---------------------------

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (12/01/2025): 3:05pm- The man allegedly responsible for shooting two National Guard members had been granted asylum from Afghanistan. While on Meet the Press, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Krisit Noem said initial investigations suggest the man became radicalized while in the United States. 3:10pm- In her latest editorial for The New York Post, Miranda Devine writes that a “damning report” labels the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a “rudderless ship” and “all f*cked up” under the leadership of Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino. The report alleges that Bongino has an “unfortunate obsession with social media.” 3:30pm- A report from Ernesto Londono of The New York Times documents rampant fraud plaguing Minnesota—dozens of people have been charged with stealing more than $1 billion in taxpayer money from programs meant to feed hungry children and provide therapy for autistic children. Critics of Governor Tim Walz say his administration allowed the fraud to persist “partly because state officials were fearful of alienating the Somali community” who were largely responsible for the scams. 3:50pm- It's finally here! “Be Nice to Matt DeSantis Week” kicks off. Earlier this year, Linda Kerns—Attorney & Pennsylvania Election Integrity Counsel for the Republican National Committee and Donald Trump—donated money to the Travis Manion Foundation during 1210 WPHT's fundraiser in exchange for Rich guaranteeing he would be nice to Matt for one full week before the end of the year. 4:05pm- A report from Ernesto Londono of The New York Times documents rampant fraud plaguing Minnesota—dozens of people have been charged with stealing more than $1 billion in taxpayer money from programs meant to feed hungry children and provide therapy for autistic children. Critics of Governor Tim Walz say his administration allowed the fraud to persist “partly because state officials were fearful of alienating the Somali community” who were largely responsible for the scams. 4:15pm- Is even Europe getting sick of far-left taxation policies? On Sunday, Switzerland rejected a referendum that would have placed a 50% inheritance tax on assets above 50 million Swiss francs, or about $62 million. 4:40pm- TV recommendations: Death by Lightning on Netflix—which is based on Candece Millard's book on the assassination of President James Garfield. 5:05pm- The man allegedly responsible for shooting two National Guard members had been granted asylum from Afghanistan. While on Meet the Press, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Krisit Noem said initial investigations suggest the man became radicalized while in the United States. National Guard member Sarah Beckstorm, sadly, died from her wounds. Meanwhile, Guardsman Andrew Wolfe remains in critical condition. West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey said Wolfe was responsive on Monday. 5:25pm- Last month, while speaking from the House floor, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) accused several Republicans including EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin of taking campaign donations from Jeffrey Epstein. However, her claim was horribly misleading. The donations were from a Dr. Jeffrey Epstein—a different Jeffery Epstein, with no relation to the predator. Astoundingly, Crockett recently doubled down on her outlandish claims during a segment on MS Now. 5:40pm- Linda Kerns calls in to outline the rules for “Be Nice to Matt Week”—so far, Rich has violated every instruction. 6:00pm- A Washington Post report states that Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized a series of deadly strikes on a drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean, ordering military officials to “kill everybody.” The directive, according to the report, led to a second strike killing several crew members that survived the initial assault on the vessel. 6:20pm- Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner, and Johns Hopkins surgeon, Dr. Marty Makary weighed in on a theory that ...

In this week's episode of China Insider, Miles Yu goes solo. First, he examines Tesla's announcement that it will eliminate all China-sourced components from vehicles manufactured in the United States within the next two years. This marks a monumental shift in the company's supply chain and signals a broader decoupling of key US industries from longstanding Chinese chokeholds and security vulnerabilities. Second, Miles revisits the 2015 purchase of the US insurance firm Wright USA, which specializes in liability insurance for Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigations personnel, by the Chinese conglomerate Fosun Group. He explains why the subsequent Committee on Foreign Investment in the US–mandated resale of the company back to Starr Companies, controlled by China's longtime friend Maurice “Hank” Greenberg and his AIG network, may be the more consequential part of the story. Last, Miles analyzes the China factor in the ongoing US–Venezuela standoff. He discusses how the Maduro regime has advanced Beijing's strategic interests of manufacturing global strategic distractions for the US by fueling instability and chaos across Latin America—the region long referred to as the United States' own “backyard.” China Insider is a weekly podcast project from Hudson Institute's China Center, hosted by China Center Director and Senior Fellow, Dr. Miles Yu, who provides weekly news that mainstream American outlets often miss, as well as in-depth commentary and analysis on the China challenge and the free world's future.
