Podcasts about Firestorm

Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine deliver a wild, unfiltered episode that jumps from mic mishaps and birthday celebrations to one of Trump's most hard-hitting immigration monologues yet, sparking a fiery discussion about Somali communities, assimilation, and political manipulation in Minnesota. They dig into the massive Feeding Our Future fraud scandal and challenge the roles of Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, and Ilhan Omar in enabling or ignoring a $240 million grift. From there, the hosts break down the political spin around the U.S. blowing up narco-boats in the Caribbean, calling out lawmakers who defend traffickers while Americans die from cartel-driven drug pipelines. Brad and Zak weave in history, corruption, federal failures, and their own lived experiences as they compare past immigrant communities, examine Antifa contradictions, and react to the escalating fight over border security and national identity, all with their signature humor, tangents, and real-talk energy.

Sean Combs, the music mogul better known as Diddy or Puff Daddy, is facing a new wave of public reckoning following the release of a Netflix documentary series just yesterday. The four-part series titled "Sean Combs: The Reckoning" dropped on December second and has already sparked significant legal controversy.The documentary, executive produced by longtime rival Curtis Jackson known as 50 Cent, contains never-before-seen footage showing Combs strategizing with his legal team in the weeks before his arrest last year. The series also features interviews with individuals making serious allegations against the music producer, including claims of sexual exploitation, abuse, and coercion spanning decades.According to representatives for Combs, the documentation amounts to what they call a shameful hit piece. His lawyers have demanded that Netflix pull the series immediately, threatening legal action and claiming the platform used stolen footage that was never authorized for release. Combs denies virtually all allegations in the documentary except for domestic violence claims from his ex-partner Cassie Ventura, which he acknowledges but disputes key details of.The documentary includes testimonies from multiple individuals who worked closely with Combs throughout his career. Kirk Burrowes, a Bad Boy Records co-founder, made explosive claims about Combs' behavior toward staff and associates. Other witnesses described disturbing accounts of what Combs allegedly called freak offs, which were described as elaborate sex parties sometimes lasting days.One particularly notable segment features Combs interacting with fans in his native Harlem neighborhood shortly before his arrest. After greeting supporters warmly, privately recorded footage shows him making disparaging comments about the encounter and expressing concerns about his public image.Combs is currently serving more than four years in prison following his conviction on prostitution-related charges. The director of the Netflix series, Alex Stapleton, has stated that all footage was obtained legally and that the production team possesses the necessary rights to use the material.The documentary represents the latest development in what has become an increasingly public reckoning for the entertainment industry figure as legal proceedings continue.Thank you for tuning in to this news update.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITHoliday lights, hot takes, and a double-header that doesn't flinch. We open the first day of December with a quick pulse check—trees up, Elfie sighting, and a birthday countdown—then dive straight into a blistering report card on the FBI under Director Cash Patel with Dan Bongino as deputy. The critique, sourced from active and retired insiders, calls the bureau a “rudderless ship,” dings Patel's judgment in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination case, and accuses leadership of chasing optics and social media clout. We unpack the claims, the anonymous “Alpha” sources, and the old fault lines over politicization and culture. Are these red flags about competence, or a factional knife fight dressed up as accountability?Then we pivot from political turbulence to a medical shocker: the rise of “scromiting,” the colloquial term for cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. Chronic cannabis users are reporting waves of extreme nausea, violent vomiting, and abdominal pain—sometimes for days—leading to dehydration, ER visits, and scary recoveries. We examine why the condition is spiking, what researchers and clinicians are seeing, and how social platforms like TikTok spread both warnings and confusion. The hard truth is simple and unglamorous: frequency matters, potency matters, and for some, the only real fix is to stop.Throughout, we keep the tone candid and curious, testing how we judge credibility—whether it's law enforcement under scrutiny or health risks wrapped in internet virality.

Behind the scense from a Q+A session during the Lawn Care Hustler's Bootcamp presented by Lawn Care Launch. 

In a program of the Temple Emanu-El Cultural Streicker Center, executive directors of Hillel at Brown, Columbia, Harvard, and Stony Brook discuss how they've navigated rising antisemitism on campus, working to educate, protect, and inspire “October 8th” communities of young Jews newly awakened to their identity.

Marjorie Taylor Greene drew serious heat from the President after siding with fellow Republican Senator Thomas Massey in urging the Department of Justice to release the Epstein Files. She put out a video on X over the weekend tendering her resignation and pointing out her work for the Republican Party.

BT and Sal kick off the show with the bizarre video of Cam Skattebo performing a "shoey"—drinking an energy drink from a cleat—and his sideline antics. The hosts ignite a debate over a hypothetical Yankees trade for Tarik Skubal, questioning if a package including Spencer Jones and Will Warren is enough to beat the competition, and are shocked that ESPN ranks the Yankees' farm system at a disappointing 25th, compared to the Mets' #1 ranking. The conversation pivots to the international market, where they discuss the race for Japanese stars like Kaz Okamoto and the surprisingly low batting average of Munetaka Murakami against fastballs. A caller then proposes a trade for Fernando Tatis Jr., forcing the hosts to dissect his massive, albatross-like contract. In the Call of the Day, the guys argue over Alex Bregman's declining value against Ryan McMahon's solid defense. The show wraps up with a fun time-machine question: What single historical sporting event would they go back to?

Joe Pags spotlights the explosive moment in Congress today as Nancy Mace publicly slams Rep. Corey Mills — and you'll understand exactly why he's now facing censure. Then, Rep. Brandon Gill steps up with a bold defense of America First, and Pags asks the obvious question: How is this even controversial in 2025? Finally — why is Ryan Wetting suddenly being labeled the “new drug lord”? Kash Patel and Pam Bondi break it all down, and Pags delivers the straight facts behind the headlines.

Both the House and the Senate have overwhelmingly passed the Epstein File Transparency Act, launching the process to release long-sealed Justice Department records on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. This is a move that could expose powerful figures and trigger major political fallouts. Republican strategist Colin Reed joins the Rundown to break down how the disclosures may reshape the political landscape ahead of the midterms and why both parties are bracing for what comes next.  The Restore Trust in Congress Act seeks to strengthen ethical standards and safeguard public confidence by prohibiting members of Congress from leveraging non-public, insider information for personal stock trading by members of Congress.  Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN), a leading advocate for banning stock trading in Congress, joins to examine the proposed legislation's real potential to curb the practice, the unusual bipartisan momentum behind the effort, and his views on UFOs—including his conviction that the government has not been fully transparent about what it knows.

Tara breaks down the political earthquake triggered by Trump's recent H-1B visa comments — a rare unforced error that ignited fury online and inside the America First movement. With young Americans facing a 9.2% unemployment rate and entry-level careers being displaced by cheaper foreign labor locked into employer-controlled visas, Tara explains why this program has become the breaking point for an entire generation. She exposes how corporations use immigration benefits to suppress wages, how H-1B holders are structurally bound to work for less, and why this system is anything but free-market capitalism. Tara also examines the political stakes: the new bills in Congress to end or cut the program, the generational shift toward Trump, and the risk of losing young voters if Republicans fail to confront the issue head-on.

The government shutdown may be over, but the fallout is just beginning. Furious progressives are turning on Chuck Schumer, igniting a Democrat civil war that exposes deep fractures inside the party. Chris and Sean break down how the Left's strategy collapsed — and what it means going forward. Meanwhile in Arizona, Governor Katie Hobbs is under intense scrutiny for a growing pay-to-play scandal. Reports show she steered taxpayer dollars toward corporations that bankrolled her campaign and inaugural fund. Sean doesn't hold back — calling on the Arizona Legislature to draft articles of impeachment. It's explosive, it's local, and it's national. Don't miss this episode of Light Beer Dark Money.

The administration is reportedly considering a 50-year mortgage to tackle the housing crisis. Patrick Bet-David breaks down what it means for buyers, banks, and long-term affordability, running the real math on rent vs. buy and why red-state real estate could dominate the next decade.

CannCon and Zak Paine return from GART Cocoa Beach and dive straight into the headlines, breaking down the week's biggest political and cultural bombshells. From the government shutdown “deal” that left Democrats scrambling to save face to Trump's renewed call to end the filibuster, the hosts dissect how D.C.'s dysfunction keeps America hostage. They analyze the shocking Blaze Media report identifying a former Capitol Police officer as a forensic match for the January 6th pipe bomber and explore how it ties into the broader narrative of FBI coverups and media complicity. The conversation heats up with Ed Martin's announcement that Trump has pardoned the 2020 alternate electors, triggering questions about constitutional authority, state weaponization, and election integrity. They wrap with sports corruption, BBC election interference, and even Ghislaine Maxwell's suspiciously cushy prison life—connecting it all to the crumbling illusion of institutional trust. A hard-hitting, fast-moving episode that balances humor, outrage, and hope for what's coming next.

Picture this — you spend months working on the design and construction of a project, and next thing you know, another engineer is on the news poking holes in it for everybody to see. How'd you feel?

Lahaina Rising producers & videographers share tales of the community's poignant response to the deadly August, 2023 firestorm that devastated the historic town of Lahaina on the island of Maui and the community-based organization Lahaina Strong

Tucker Carlson is at the center of intense national controversy after his recent high-profile interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes. The interview, which aired on Carlson's independently run streaming show, has ignited a firestorm within conservative circles as well as broader political and media communities. Florida Republican Congressman Randy Fine became the most outspoken critic at the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual leadership conference, publicly labeling Carlson as “the most dangerous antisemite in America” and accusing him of promoting Holocaust denial, supporting those who “celebrate the Nazis,” and defending Hamas. During his remarks, Fine said he was canceling a scheduled Heritage Foundation event in protest and called on other Republicans to do the same, vowing to block Heritage staffers from his office and urging colleagues to follow suit.The Heritage Foundation's response has only deepened divisions. Its president, Kevin Roberts, released a video refusing to distance the influential think tank from Carlson. Roberts dismissed critics as a “venomous coalition” and insisted their efforts to cancel Carlson would fail, even though he and the foundation officially condemned Fuentes's antisemitic ideology. This stance drew significant backlash, including criticism from Heritage staff, Republican senators, and Jewish leaders in both parties. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the Heritage statement “deeply disturbing,” and Mitch McConnell pointedly stated that “conservatives should feel no obligation to carry water for antisemites and apologists for America-hating autocrats.” Heritage has since reassigned its chief of staff in reaction to the controversy, signaling ongoing internal turmoil.This latest uproar follows a series of recent interviews where Carlson has platformed figures who espouse Holocaust denial and anti-Jewish conspiracy theories. Just weeks prior, Carlson's discussion with amateur historian Darryl Cooper provoked similar condemnation, after Cooper denied Nazi intent in the Holocaust and blamed Churchill for World War II atrocities, all with no pushback from Carlson. These editorial choices not only drew public rebuke from the White House and bipartisan groups of legislators but also stoked debates over rising antisemitism within the Republican Party and the broader conservative movement.In parallel to these controversies, Carlson's media ventures continue to attract attention. His new startup, Last Country, co-founded with Neil Patel, recently received a $15 million seed investment from Omeed Malik's 1789 Capital, according to the Wall Street Journal. Carlson is leveraging this funding to grow his audience through video content, mostly hosted on X (formerly Twitter), and has already produced episodes featuring major political figures including Donald Trump. Since departing Fox News, Carlson has focused on building a subscription-based media company and has regained significant popularity in the podcast space. By this summer, “The Tucker Carlson Show” was ranked the number one political podcast on Spotify.These developments have made Carlson a polarizing figure, amplifying debates over free speech, the mainstreaming of extremist rhetoric, and the responsibilities of leading media personalities. While Carlson retains a substantial following and influential allies in conservative media and think tanks, his critics warn of the dangers posed by granting a platform to extremist voices and normalizing language previously confined to the political fringes.Thanks for tuning in and don't forget to subscribe to the Tucker Carlson News Tracker podcast.

A 911 ping leads to an Albuquerque stash house with kidnapped migrants and a ransom ledger—proof that policy signals have real-world consequences. We unpack how sanctuary rules that block ICE coordination can embolden predators, why public safety must come before political branding, and what accountability should look like at City Hall. That urgency threads into a broader reality check: Britain's step back from rapid net zero plans exposes hard limits on intermittent power, rising grid costs, and the arithmetic of energy density. Meanwhile, U.S. demand is skyrocketing—think AI data centers, electrification, and industry—while New Mexico families operate on thin margins. Price hikes don't hit spreadsheets; they hit kitchens.So we draw a line: pair responsible oil and gas with a national sprint toward fusion. Unlike fission, fusion promises abundant, cleaner baseload without massive waste, and breakthroughs are accelerating. We talk practical policy—why middle-class tax relief matters now, why energy scarcity guarantees suffering, and how investment in fusion can deliver both climate progress and affordability. It's not ideology; it's physics, finance, and compassion.We also tackle a brewing trade storm: Ontario's ad splicing Ronald Reagan's anti-tariff remarks to swipe at Trump spurred a tariff escalation and a quick pullback. Beyond the noise, the question is context—1987 trade dynamics aren't today's, and resilience matters when supply chains shape national security. Add a government shutdown threatening pay for troops and federal workers, and the theme is clear: don't outsource reality. And because real life isn't all policy, we close with a jolt from our game cams—coyotes, a big bobcat, and a massive mountain lion caught strolling at midday.Join us for straight talk on safety, energy, and sovereignty—plus the wildest wildlife clip we've seen yet.

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, Helius's Mert returns to defend Zcash's ~400% run and the “encrypted Bitcoin” framing, digging into anonymity sets, privacy UX, and why Bitcoiners are so riled up. We then tackle the Tempo bombshell — a ~$500M raise at a ~$5B pre, Stripe/Paradigm ties, Dankrad's move from the EF — alongside Péter Szilágyi's letter on EF culture and compensation: public goods priesthood vs. market incentives. Next up: Mert's “USD Manlet” rethink (why coordinating Solana around one stable is hard, and why pushing USDT to compete with USDC may be the sharper play) plus a gripe-fueled tour of today's DeFi trading UX. Finally, an AWS-outage autopsy: Coinbase downtime, Base sequencer hiccups, Infura/MetaMask ripple effects, and the case for multi-region/multi-cloud redundancy when real money — and sometimes safety — are on the line. And no, despite the memes, Mert is not launching a DEX.
