The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- CNN Senior Analyst Harry Enten evaluated the “Democrat brand”—and according to survey data it “is in the basement and it is total and complete garbage.” 5:15pm- On Thursday night, former Vice President Kamala Harris made a guest appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert where she promoted her soon to be released book, “107 Days.” Harris was unable to name the current leaders of the Democratic Party. 5:40pm- George Stephanopoulos gets stuck in an elevator! Plus, should we all start watching the WNBA? This week one player lost her wig mid-game (leading to a fan being ejected for making fun of the incident), and in another game someone threw a bright green sex toy onto the court late in the 4th quarter! Also, are Justin Trudeau (who is the son of Pierre Trudeau and definitely not the son of Fidel Castro) and Katy Perry dating? 6:00pm- Tom Azelby closes out the show for Rich. Make sure to watch Rich tonight on Fox News with Laura Ingraham!
WABC Host Bill O'Reilly calls into the show to talk about the high-stakes New York City mayoral race and the national implications of a potential Zohran Mamdani victory. O'Reilly warns of a growing radical left movement, drawing comparisons between Mamdani and Fidel Castro, and argues the city is at risk of collapse without strong leadership. He criticizes Democratic figures like Chuck Schumer and Governor Hochul, praises Curtis Sliwa as the only candidate tough enough to reverse the city's decline, and offers campaign advice rooted in media strategy and voter connection.

Codenamed "Agent 202," Kendall Myers went undetected as a spy for Cuba for nearly 30 years. He worked at the State Department's Foreign Service Institute, secretly spying for Cuba out of an earnest love for the island, its people, and their leader Fidel Castro. Myers was caught in 2009, after he retired. State Department Security Specialist and former Diplomatic Security Special Agent Bill Stowell was part of the team that worked the case. He shared new exclusive details with SpyCast, as Myers continues to serve a life sentence for espionage. If you liked this episode, check out these links: Queen of Cuba with Peter J.

En el especial de esta semana hemos reunido cuatro reportajes que giran en torno a cuatro personajes históricos tal y como les hemos visto en las películas. Para empezar tenemos al navegante más famoso de la historia, Cristóbal Colón. También a un hombre con tantas facetas que solo podemos presentar como uno de los grandes genios de la Humanidad: Leonardo Da Vinci. El tercer protagonista fue un monje y teólogo alemán responsable del cisma en el catolicismo que cambió la religión para siempre: Martín Lutero. Los tres fueron contemporáneos, vivieron entre el siglo XVI y el XVII. El último personaje de este especial, en cambio, fue uno de los personajes más influyentes y decisivos del siglo XX y falleció ya en este, en el año 2016. Se trata del líder cubano Fidel Castro.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, in a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court upheld the Trump administration's authority to fire over 1,300 Department of Education workers. The President, as head of the executive branch, has inherent authority over staffing and operations. This decision restores executive control against ‘untouchable' government jobs and programs. On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the new word the Marxists are using to justify the fundamental transformation of America is affordability. Marxist regimes produce shortages, impoverishment, and dislocation—not prosperity. This is equality in destitution, enforced by coercion and a police state. New York is expensive due to soft-Marxism: rent controls, high taxes, smothering regulations, powerful unions. Marxism is failed, inhumane, evil, attracting demagogues like Zohran Mamdani, akin to young Fidel Castro claiming democracy. We have a lot of fake MAGA conmen influencers trying to exploit the Jeffrey Epstein matter for financial gain through clicks and subscriptions. These conmen have spread false predictions about the Iran-Israel conflict, such as World War III involvement by China and Russia, and for aligning with dictators while opposing U.S. interests. The left-wing media love these conmen because they think they can damage President Trump over Epstein. These self-proclaimed MAGA influencers had no role in President Trump's election victories, the credit goes to the American people instead, and their divisive tactics could undermine Trump and lead to Republican losses in midterm elections. We've had weeks of these influencers who are angry with Trump over the ‘Epstein files', yet Trump's ratings have gone even higher since Epstein. We hoped the new media would be better, but some aspects are worse. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Tras el control de Cuba por parte de Fidel Castro, la CIA entrena a militantes anticastristas para derrocar al dictador y se alía con la mafia, empresarios estadounidenses y revolucionarios locales.Mucho antes de la declaración de guerra, el mundo quería muerto al Führer. Ya con la amenaza de guerra, los aristócratas, la Gestapo y la Wehrmacht trazan un plan.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the new word the Marxists are using to justify the fundamental transformation of America is affordability. Marxist regimes produce shortages, impoverishment, and dislocation—not prosperity. This is equality in destitution, enforced by coercion and a police state. New York is expensive due to soft-Marxism: rent controls, high taxes, smothering regulations, powerful unions. It will depopulate workers and businesses, attracting destitute, welfare recipients, and illegal aliens. As unlivable, Marxist grip tightens with unhinged rhetoric. Marxism is failed, inhumane, evil, attracting demagogues like Zohran Mamdani, akin to young Fidel Castro claiming democracy. Over time, the tension between institutional constraints and self-aggrandizement erodes safeguards, turning them into facades that enable soft negative power. The result is authoritarian democracy, which is what Mamdani is promoting. Also, wealth redistribution is destructive to wealth creation, as it discourages producers who may reduce output, stop, or relocate (e.g., fleeing New York City), leaving less to redistribute. It's a flawed idea requiring surrender of individual liberty to inexperienced ideologues, historically causing mass starvation and death. True equality means just laws for all, not unattainable economic equality . Instead, we should celebrate freedom and capitalism, enabling ordinary Americans—like plumbers or drivers—to enjoy abundant choices and live better than past kings, while government represents socialism and individuals embody capitalism. Success, once valued, is now undermined by DEI. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On todays show we delves into Operation Northwoods, a 1962 U.S. Department of Defense plan to stage false flag attacks against Cuba to justify military intervention. Proposed tactics included sinking a ship in Guantanamo Bay, hijacking airliners, and staging bombings in U.S. cities. The plan was rejected by President Kennedy. The conversation also touches on Operation Mongoose, a CIA operation to overthrow Fidel Castro, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. The participants debate the ethical and practical implications of U.S. intervention in foreign affairs, emphasizing the dangers of false flag operations and the impact on international relations. The discussion on Conspiracy Friday with Charlotte Operation Northwoods centered on the implications of U.S. foreign policy and military tactics.

Jim Hunt : Warrior: Frank Sturgis---The CIA's #1 Assassin-Spy, Who Nearly Killed Castro But Was Ambushed by WatergateThe incredible true story of the WWII hero turned CIA assassin and Watergate burglar “reads like a top shelf action-adventure novel” (New York Times–bestselling author David Hagberg). The press called him a “real-life James Bond.” Fidel Castro called him “the most dangerous CIA agent.” History remembers him as a Watergate burglar, yet the Watergate break-in was his least perilous mission.Frank Sturgis—using more than thirty aliases and code names—trained guerrilla armies in twelve countries on three continents and spearheaded assassination plots to overthrow foreign governments including those of Cuba, Panama, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti.Warrior follows the incredible-yet-true adventures of Sturgis, brought to life by his nephew, Jim Hunt, who lived with Sturgis, and his co-writer, Bob Risch. Also included are never-before-seen personal photos of Sturgis and his compatriots.https://amzn.to/4eBDrNcBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

“From the very beginning the intent was that the American people needed to be able to access the records so that we would be able to hold the government accountable for its actions.” - David FerrieroDuring the first Trump administration, when access to certain websites and information was being threatened, we started our Keepers series about activist archivists, rogue librarians, historians, collectors, curators — protectors of the culture and the free flow of information and ideas. Today our national librarians and archivists are being fired, our museums are being threatened, our journalists are being hampered, and truth and transparency is once again under attack.In 2017, we talked with David Ferriero, the 10th Archivist of the United States, about the the beginnings of the National Archives under Franklin Roosevelt and its purpose. Ferriero tells of early keepers like Stephen Pleasonton, a brave civil servant who saved the Constitution and Declaration of Independence as the British burned Washington during the War of 1812. Stories of a letter from Fidel Castro to President Roosevelt requesting a $10 dollar bill, and a letter from Annie Oakley to William McKinley volunteering to rally 50 women sharp shooters to fight in the Spanish Civil War.Selected as Archivist of the United States in 2010 by President Obama during the time of his Open Government Initiative, Ferriero worked to make the system more transparent and accessible to the public. With a collection of about 13 billion pieces of paper, 43 million photographs and miles and miles of film and video and about 6 billion electronic records, Ferriero believes “we are responsible for documenting what is going on.” “I think my favorite times are twice a year when we do naturalization ceremonies in the Rotunda and between 50 and 200 new citizens are sworn in in front of the Constitution," he said. "Just to see them experiencing the documents outlining the rights that are now theirs. Those are powerful moments.”
Yul VazquezTake a walk with me down Fascination Street, as I get to know Yul Vazquez. Born in Havana, Yul and all of the women in his family escaped Fidel Castro's Cuba to make a new life in Miami Beach, Florida. In this episode, Yul and I chat about how difficult it was for his mother, and grandmother to relocate to a new country with two children: having no money, no job, and not speaking the language. He shares how impactful those women, that experience and those early times were in influencing his life moving forward. I bring up some of the thought processes behind Yul's work as a painter, and as a photographer. We even discuss some specific pieces that I am madly in love with. Next. I pepper him with questions about his music career, where he was signed to TWO different major record labels, under TWO different bands; all before he even thought about becoming an actor. Also, I get him to tell me how he became such good friends with some of music's most iconic players. Yul is great friends with so many of the folks that we all grew up listening to, including: Judas Priest's Rob Halford, The Cult's Ian Astbury, and Maynard James Keenan (Tool / Pucifer / Sessanta 2.0). Yul shares tales of how he came to be the guitarist for the bands Urgent & Diving For Pearls; before being told by a psychic that he would become a successful actor! We go all over the place in this interview. I question him about his member ship in a character actor dinner club that is comprised of about a dozen of his friends; some who are previous guests of my show are. I even get Yul to tell me what he got his wife for their 23rd wedding anniversary, which was about a week after we recorded this conversation. We talk about what made him and some other Latino actor friends start The LAByrinth Theater Company in New York. Finally, I ask all the questions I can about his work on Seinfeld, Magic City, and of course Severance. Yul is such an amazing talent in all areas. Check out his website YulZavquez.com for more insight into his painting and photography and catch Yul on just about every television show or film out there. (Side note, we do talk a bit about a baseball cap that he designed, that I think is slick, and stylish. For more information about that, you may need to hit him up on Instagram.)
You might think that Ernesto “Che” Guevara's resistance came with the Cuban revolution. When he sailed on the yacht known as the Granma, picked up arms, fought alongside Fidel Castro in the Sierra Maestra, and liberated the island of Cuba. Or when he denounced US intervention at the United Nations, or when he helped to lead Cuba and make it self-sufficient, despite the US embargo that still exists today. Or when he left it all behind to try and spark a revolution in Bolivia.But Ernesto Guevara's resistance began long before all of that. It began when he traveled. When he wandered the land. When he saw the unjust global system all around him—a caste system imposed on the countries of Latin America, where the wealthy were at the top and everyone else fought over the miserable crumbs. And Che Guevara refused to obey. Che vowed to do everything he could to fight it. To resist it. And resist he did… This is episode 46 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Castro sets out to create a breed of “new people” - turning Cuba into an island of mini-Fidels. A particular dairy cow becomes a national treasure and hot dog vendors are declared counter-revolutionary, as things get surreal. Fidel's own sister flees, declaring Cuba a “floating prison”.

In this can't-miss episode, we sit down with South Bronx legend Jimmy Rodriguez — the Puerto Rican visionary behind NYC staples like Jimmy’s Bronx Café, Sofrito, and Don Coqui for a raw and real conversation about hustle, legacy, and staying true to your roots. Jimmy opens up about growing up in the Bronx, dropping out of high school, and hitting the streets with his dad as teen selling lobsters, a grind that would later shape his journey as a restauranteur. He shares how a lack of Latino-owned spots in the city fueled his mission to fill that void and how he secured millions as a young man to build what would become cultural hubs for Latinos in NYC. From legendary nights hosting Celia Cruz, J.Lo, Tito Puentes, Yankees players... to the wild story of why Fidel Castro ended up at his Bronx Cafe (and how Jimmy wound up in Cuba with Castro’s uniform in hand), this episode is packed with surprises. He gets candid about fatherhood, including being estranged from his son with actress Michael Michele. Plus, we touch on his new spot SoBro, his thoughts on Diddy’s public downfall, and why the Yankees have fallen short in showing real love to the Bronx. Jimmy’s far from done and considers himself a forever student of life, of the restaurant game, and of the culture. Tap in for a story of resilience, reinvention, and real Bronx royalty.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
