On Sunday the first Oscar for Achievement in Casting will be given in the 98-year history of the Academy Awards.

Everybody's sort of in a great mood, nothing's gone wrong yet, and everybody's feeling very positive. And it's the first time the director's heard the words read and it can really influence the way the movie goes.” —Juliet TaylorDuring her career, Juliet cast 103 films including Annie Hall, Taxi Driver, Manhattan, Terms of Endearment, Big, Schindler's List, Midnight Cowboy, Network and so many more. “It's an old-fashioned trade. You are learning from the person that you are working for. That's like your graduate school.” —Ellen LewisEllen has cast some dozen films for Martin Scorsese including Goodfellas, Casino, Gangs of New York, The Age of Innocence, Cape Fear, Kundun, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Irishman, The Departed, Killers of the Flower Moon. Also Forrest Gump, The Devil Wears Prada, A League of Their Own, lots of Jim Jarmusch movies, and the television series The Queen's Gambit, Godless, Boardwalk Empire and so much more.“More than 90% of directing a picture is the right casting.” —Martin ScorseseHave a Seat, The Casting Director Will See You Shortly: The Legends of Juliet Taylor & Ellen Lewis was produced by The Kitchen Sisters (Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva) in collaboration with Nathan Dalton, Brandi Howell and Hannah Kaye.

Here's a full rewrite of your text, now built around 1990's King of New York and 2002's Gangs of New York, and infused with that “heavyweight fight we've been waiting for” vibe. I kept the Not A Bomb voice, the Movie Matchup structure, and the playful swagger.For the entire month of March, the guys at Not A Bomb are throwing it back to their old Movie Matchup format, pitting notorious box office bombs against each other in a battle for redemption. Two flops enter… only one survives. There can only be one!This week, Troy and Brad aren't just stepping into the ring, they're calling the fight of the century. It's a bruising, bare‑knuckle, cinematic heavyweight showdown between two crime‑soaked epics: King of New York and Gangs of New York. Decades apart, stylistically worlds away, but both swinging for the fences with operatic violence, towering performances, and enough swagger to level a city block.King of New YorkDirected by Abel Ferrara and starring Christopher Walken, Laurence Fishburne, Wesley Snipes, David Caruso, Victor Argo, and Giancarlo Esposito, this neon‑drenched gangster fever dream follows drug lord Frank White as he storms back into New York's underworld after a stint in prison. It's stylish, chaotic, and packed with performances so intense they practically melt through the screen.Gangs of New YorkDirected by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day‑Lewis, Cameron Diaz, Brendan Gleeson, Jim Broadbent, and John C. Reilly, this sprawling historical epic throws you into the blood‑soaked streets of 1860s Manhattan. Rival factions. Political corruption. Revenge quests. And at the center of it all, Daniel Day‑Lewis delivering one of the most terrifying, magnetic performances of his career as Bill the Butcher. This isn't just a comparison; it's a clash of titans. Frank White vs. Bill the Butcher. Modern crime mythmaking vs. historical gangland opera. Ferrara's gritty, punk‑rock filmmaking vs. Scorsese's grand, blood‑stained spectacle. Troy and Brad break down which film lands the cleanest hits, which one stumbles, and which earns the coveted weekly crown. Expect fireworks, body blows, and enough cinematic carnage to fill Madison Square Garden.Got a cinematic flop you want us to tackle?

In this powerful episode of the Rooted In Christ Podcast, Eric sits down with Julian Rodriguez for one of the most raw and transformative testimonies shared on the platform.Born into gang culture in Chicago and raised between violence, drugs, poverty, and trauma, Julian opens up about witnessing his father's addiction, family division, suicidal thoughts at a young age, and the weight of growing up far too soon. From living in an attic to hustling in the streets, his story reflects the harsh realities many inner-city families face.But this episode isn't about statistics — it's about redemption.Julian shares the moment he cried out to God as a child after being told he couldn't go to church… and how that prayer was answered almost immediately. He walks through the slow, real process of salvation — the wrestling, the conviction, the sanctification — and how God transformed his hustle mentality into purpose.Today, Julian is: • A first-generation college graduate (earning both his AA and MBA with a 4.0 GPA) • A financial advisor helping families build wealth • A husband and father of three • A servant and leader within his church communityThis conversation dives deep into: • Breaking generational curses • Surviving trauma and depression • The reality of sanctification (it's a process, not a light switch) • Trusting God's timing • Praying for family members who seem “too far gone” • Using your gifts for God instead of the streetsIf you've ever felt like your background disqualified you… If you're praying for a prodigal… If you're wrestling with purpose…This episode is for you.“We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.” – Revelation 12:11Listen, share, and be encouraged — it's not too late for you. And it's never too early either.

Kinder als Drogendealer – diese Methode verwenden kriminelle Gangs längst auch in Europa. Ein Fall aus dem Wallis zeigt, wie kriminelle Banden gezielt Minderjährige anwerben und erpressen. So zum Beispiel Eron: Der Teenager lebt in Siders in der Cité Aldrin – einer Hochhaussiedlung neben der Autobahn. Hier verkauft Eron Haschisch, weil er von älteren Gangmitgliedern dazu gezwungen wird. Die NZZ-Redaktoren Stefanie Pauli und Mirko Plüss haben Erons Fall aus den Gerichtsakten rekonstruiert. Er steht stellvertretend für Hunderte, vielleicht Tausende weitere Kinder, die in den Fängen krimineller Banden zu Drogendealern werden. In dieser Folge erklärt Stefanie Pauli, mit welchen Methoden die Kriminellen dabei vorgehen. Sie ordnet ein, was die Behörden schon heute tun, um international gegen diese Strukturen vorzugehen.

Andrew denies wrongdoing and has not yet been charged - as of the time of publishing. King Charles has released a statement saying ‘the law must take its course'.The continued release of the Epstein files have unveiled the extent of his relationship with the paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. E-mail exchanges between the pair reveal that Andrew handed over sensitive documents to Mr Epstein in his role as trade envoy to the British government. He is currently being investigated by NINE separate police forces throughout the country. Also: Robert Jenrick reacts to a Talk exclusive - the news that various British Chaggossians have been served an eviction notice after landing on the island in protest at Britain's deal. Keir Starmer had agreed to give away the islands and lease back the Diego Garcia military base. American president Donald Trump has flip-flopped on his support for the deal. And Robert Jenrick reacts to a BBC investigation into rape gangs in London. Sadiq Khan has previously denied any awareness of systemic grooming in the capital, despite their prevalence in other parts of the country such as Rotherham.

In this interview, Jesse breaks down how he survived a decade behind bars only to face a new battle upon release: a system that wouldn't hire him. Pushed back into selling drugs to survive, Jesse reveals how a miraculous case dismissal became the final wake-up call he needed to leave the life of crime behind forever. _____________________________________________ #ianbick #prisonstories #minnesota #prisonsurvival #lockedin #truecrime #inmate #survival #prisonlife #minneapolis _____________________________________________ Thank you to FACTOR & AVA for sponsoring this episode: FACTOR: Head to https://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50% off your first Factor box PLUS free breakfast for 1 year.

Send a textTim Seward built a 65 MPH electric moped in his garage to one-up his buddies. People wouldn't stop asking where to buy it. So he started Onyx Motors, raised almost a million bucks on Indiegogo in 3 hours… then sold the company for $1. When his successor died unexpectedly, Tim came back to rebuild from scratch. This is that story.The RCR 80V is a 91-volt electric motorbike that hits 65–75 MPH, goes 130 miles on a charge, runs Apple CarPlay, and costs about 75 cents to charge at home. It's built on a metal tube frame with swappable aluminum panels — designed from day one to be customized, modded, and made your own. Think less iPhone, more Lego kit.Tim breaks down the moped gang culture that started it all, why Americans are 20 years behind the rest of the world on two-wheeled transport, what he learned designing scooters at Bird, and why Gen Z might never buy a car.CHAPTERS0:00 – Cold Open0:00 – Intro: Who is Tim Seward?0:01 – Why Build Something That Lasts?0:03 – Moped Army & Moped Mondays0:05 – Moped Culture: US vs. the World0:07 – The Scooter Armageddon (Bird & South by Southwest)0:09 – Working at Bird & the Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicle0:11 – Red Lights & "It's Not For Sale"0:13 – The Indiegogo Campaign ($920K in Hours)0:15 – Selling Onyx for $10:18 – Losing James & Resurrecting the Brand0:21 – Starting a Company Twice0:22 – The RCR 80V: Size, Speed & Power0:25 – Regulations & Licensing0:26 – Metal vs. Plastic: Design Philosophy0:28 – Built to Customize (Not Lock Down)0:31 – CarPlay, Navigation & Built-In Tech0:33 – Mounting Points, Mods & Steady Garage0:36 – Swappable Panels & Custom Builds0:40 – Favorite Mods: Back to the Future Build0:43 – The $245B Electric Vehicle Market0:46 – Gen Z Doesn't Want Cars0:49 – Park It on the Sidewalk (or Your Desk)0:52 – Speed Modes & Motorcycle Registration0:54 – What's Next for Onyx Motors0:56 – Where to Buy + OutroLINKSOnyx Motors → https://onyxmotors.comOnyx on Instagram → https://instagram.com/onyxmotorsSteady Garage (aftermarket accessories) → https://steadygarage.comOnyx Garage (custom builds gallery) → https://onyxmotors.com/pages/garageClick Here to Subscribe: FUTR.tv focuses on startups, innovation, culture and the business of emerging tech with weekly podcasts talking with Industry leaders and deep thinkers.Occasionally we share links to products we use.

While The Wedding Singer pursues a sweetness and sincerity alien to the studio-era romantic comedies it in some ways emulates, Anderson's enigmatic fairy tale riffs on the combination of terrifying vulnerability and terrifying rage in Sandler's persona, positioning him between the grace of romantic salvation and the gravity of a punitive superego (who owns a mattress store).

Un journaliste face à la mainmise des gangs sur les mines d'or du Pérou

Au Pérou, malgré les interventions policières à répétition et malgré les dégâts considérables sur l'environnement qu'elle provoque, l'exploitation illégale de l'or se poursuit. Depuis plus de dix ans, le journaliste Manuel Calloquispe, correspondant de la presse nationale péruvienne dans le sud-est du pays en Amazonie, documente l'essor de l'orpaillage illégal et ses conséquences catastrophiques.   Dans cette région, on enregistre une pollution record au mercure et la déforestation fait rage. Elle est même visible sur Google maps ! Un travail qui a valu à Manuel Calloquispe des menaces, comme nous le raconte Raphaël Moran du service Environnement de RFI. « En mars 2025, j'ai publié un article sur un chef de gang, son nom et ses agissements. J'allais publier un second article en août lorsque j'ai reçu un appel. J'ai reconnu la voix d'Alver Carranza, le numéro deux du gang, et j'ai enregistré l'appel. Il disait qu'il allait m'arracher la tête si je continuais mes articles », raconte Manuel Calloquispe. L'enquête qu'il s'apprêtait à publier détaillait les guerres de gangs, en particulier l'ascencion d'Edison Fernandez Pérez, un chef mafieux déjà condamné à 15 ans de prison pour l'assassinat d'un défenseur de l'environnement dans le département de Madre de Dios. L'homme est aujourd'hui à la tête d'un système tentaculaire d'extorsions sous prétexte de protéger les orpailleurs du secteur de La Pampa en proie l'insécurité. « Au départ, il s'agissait de simples orpailleurs qui venaient du centre du Pérou, d'une région où l'on cultive la feuille de coca. Face à l'augmentation des vols et des agressions dont étaient victimes les orpailleurs, ils ont proposé leurs services en expliquant qu'ils avaient été gardes communautaires et qu'ils avaient l'expérience des armes. Un premier campement d'orpailleurs a accepté leur protection, puis d'autres. À présent, ils ont des armes. Ils sont plus de 80 et ils s'occupent de la sécurité des commerçants. Ils contrôlent le commerce de l'or et depuis 2023, ils pratiquent eux-mêmes l'orpaillage illégal ». L'enquête déplaît fortement au chef du gang qui commandite une tentative d'assassinat contre Manuel Calloquispe. Il se réfugie alors plusieurs mois dans la capitale péruvienne, Lima, à plus de 1 000 km de chez lui. Forbidden Story poursuit le travail de journalistes menacés ou assassinés, a repris le flambeau. Dans une enquête récente, ce collectif raconte la terreur des habitants de La Pampa, victimes d'extorsions. Malgré des dizaines d'interventions de l'armée, on comptabilise encore 5 000 équipements de dragage sur place. Le trafic continue de prospérer à cause de la flambée du cours de l'or qui dépasse les 4 200 euros l'once. L'orpaillage s'étend même sur la réserve amazonienne de Tambopata où l'armée a encore saisi, il y a quelques jours, des dizaines d'engins de dragage. Manuel Calloquispe, lui, est retourné travailler sur place malgré les menaces. « Je vis dans une maison équipée de caméras de surveillance. Il y a des policiers qui surveillent mes déplacements, j'ai un gilet pare-balles, un casque. (...) Parfois je refais du reportage, mais je fais attention à moi ». Le journaliste a également comptabilisé plus de 400 disparitions dans la région. Il craint qu'aux prochaines élections, des candidats financés par les gangs de l'orpaillage illégal n'accèdent aux responsabilités.   En Haïti, la PNH fait encore rêver En Haïti, la police qui a besoin d'effectifs plus importants, accélère le recrutement de policiers. Alors que près de 85% de la capitale, Port-au-Prince, est aujourd'hui contrôlée par les gangs, 4 000 nouveaux postes doivent être pourvus cette année (2026). Le processus de recrutement a déjà commencé et rencontre un franc succès auprès des jeunes, comme ont pu le constater nos envoyés spéciaux à Port-au-Prince, Justine Fontaine et Achim Lippold. Toujours en Haïti, comme chaque mois, nous sommes en ligne avec un journaliste du média en ligne Ayibopost. Junior Legrand nous parle de sa nouvelle enquête sur les fausses cartes d'identité qui sont massivement utilisées en ligne pour des cyberescroqueries, notamment sur des plateformes de paiement bien connues comme MonCash et NatCash. Officiellement, il y a des mécanismes de contrôle mais dans les faits, il n'y a aucun système d'identification des cartes d'identité sur ces deux sites.   À Cuba, l'émoi après l'arrestation de deux jeunes influenceurs Détenus depuis vendredi dernier (6 février 2026), dans une prison d'Holguin connue pour la violence des interrogatoires qui y sont pratiqués, Kamil Zayas et Ernesto Ricardo Medina sont poursuivis pour « propagande contre l'ordre constitutionnel » et « instigation à commettre des crimes », nous apprend le site 14yMedio. C'est « un nouveau coup contre la liberté d'expression à Cuba », s'insurge El Toque qui explique qui sont ces deux jeunes qui ne cherchent qu'à « parler aux Cubains ». Dans « une petite pièce tapissée de journaux de la presse d'État, un tableau noir usé et un vieux ventilateur qui ne sert plus qu'à symboliser le fait qu'à Cuba, les appareils électroménagers servent bien au-delà de leur durée de vie (...) Ernesto Ricardo Medina et Kamil Zayas ont passé des mois à tourner de courtes vidéos pour les réseaux sociaux du projet El4tico », raconte le site en ligne. « Avec un style décontracté et direct, ils exprimaient leurs opinions politiques et expliquaient des sujets liés à l'économie, à l'histoire et aux droits humains, jusqu'à ce que le régime décide qu'ils étaient trop visibles, trop francs et trop influents. » Hier, (12 février 2026) la justice a décidé qu'ils devaient rester en prison durant l'enquête. À l'extérieur du tribunal, une cinquantaine de personnes manifestaient. La militante Yanet Rodríguez Sánchez, qui avait déposé un habeas corpus en faveur des deux jeunes, n'a pas pu assister à l'audience. Des policiers - deux patrouilles, une moto et deux policiers en civil - l'ont empêché de sortir de chez elle, raconte 14yMedio. La militante a également reçu des menaces par téléphone. Depuis hier matin, Yanet Rodriguez Sanchez vit, donc, recluse chez elle, « une forme de détention de fait que les autorités cubaines utilisent de plus en plus pour empêcher les militants de participer à des manifestations », souligne le site d'informations.   Le New York Times face au dossier Epstein Le New York Times raconte comment il travaille sur les documents de l'affaire Epstein. Des documents qui, si on les empilait, « atteindrait le sommet de l'Empire state building », explique le quotidien qui a mobilisé une vingtaine de journalistes pour étudier ces trois millions de pages, 180 000 images et 2 000 vidéos. Impossible, évidemment, de tout lire, de tout regarder. « Cela prendrait des années de tout parcourir et ensuite de vérifier si les informations sont vraies et publiables », précise le New York Times. Alors les journalistes ont commencé par faire une liste de mots à chercher : « Trump. Clinton. Gates. Le duc d'York. » Les journalistes du New York Times travaillent avec des outils informatiques. Ils disposent notamment d'un outil de traitement des documents. Il a donc d'abord fallu tous les télécharger depuis le site du ministère de la Justice américain. Cela a pris dix heures. Pendant ce temps-là, les journalistes ont dû se contenter de la barre de recherche du site. Pour gagner du temps, un spécialiste de l'intelligence artificielle du journal et des ingénieurs ont mis au point un outil améliorant la fonction « recherche » du site. Cette équipe a créé plusieurs programmes d'IA pour faciliter le travail des journalistes. Mais attention, prévient le responsable de l'Intelligence artificielle du New York Times, « l'IA est extrêmement travailleuse, mais pas très intelligente ». Elle ne remplace pas des journalistes. Avec les premières découvertes, la prudence s'est tout de suite imposée, en particulier concernant Donald Trump. « Ce n'est pas parce que ces documents sont publics qu'ils sont forcément vérifiés, vrais ou exacts », souligne le New York Times. Or, « nous ne faisons pas de suppositions. Nous devons vérifier [les informations] ce qui implique souvent un travail minutieux qui peut prendre du temps », explique le quotidien qui reconnaît que « cela peut être frustrant pour nos lecteurs qui consultent ces documents eux-mêmes ou qui lisent [des] informations ailleurs ».   Au Canada, l'amour coûte cher Au Canada, en cette veille de St Valentin, le Devoir s'intéresse au coût financier de l'amour. Selon un sondage de la Banque de Montréal, les Canadiens dépensent en moyenne près de 110 euros à chaque rendez-vous. Transport, préparatifs, nourriture, boissons, billets... font grimper la note, explique le quotidien. Or, l'inflation que connaît le pays, inquiète les Canadiens. Du coup, la moitié des célibataires interrogées ont diminué le nombre ou le coût de leurs rendez-vous pour économiser. Un quart des sondés ont même annulé un rendez-vous, faute d'argent. « Les rencontres amoureuses sont de plus en plus évaluées sous l'angle financier, beaucoup se demandant s'il s'agit d'un coût ou d'un investissement », affirme au Devoir Sumit Sarkar, vice-président à la BMO.

We cover growing up in Bradford, how she met the men that would come to abuse her, and some of her early experiences.As Fiona says: The inquiry into grooming gangs should not be centred on race. It should be centred on how the abuse operated.Grooming gangs follow specific patterns. The way they target, manipulate, control, and exploit children has distinct characteristics. That is what makes this form of abuse unique — not the race of the perpetrators, but the methods, structures, and systemic failures that allowed it to continue.Any gang-based exploitation of children should be examined thoroughly, regardless of race — especially where it was ignored, dismissed, or facilitated by agencies such as the police, social services, and other safeguarding bodies. BUT if race or religion is relivent to that victims abuse the victims should be able to voice it and discuss it without facing further abuse. We must learn to talk about experiances openly to understand the full picture.My focus is not race. My focus is the abuse: how it worked, why it was allowed to continue, and why the rape and exploitation of children was not properly acknowledged or prevented.That said, all relevant data should be gathered. Race, religion, sexuality, gender, class, and criminal background should be recorded and analysed — not to fuel division, but to identify patterns, disproportionalities, and systemic blind spots. We cannot design effective prevention frameworks without understanding the full picture. Fear of racism played a huge part in the enabling of many victims abuse and that must be acknowledged.This must be about protecting children.All relevant information — no matter how uncomfortable — should be examined honestly. And then we need open, evidence-based conversations about why these failures happened and how to prevent them from ever happening again.Because safeguarding children should always come before politics, fear, or stigma.Watch episode 1 here, or listen wherever you get your podcastshttps://www.openjusticeuk.org/ This is a public episode.

Corin's served many years in the game, from time spent in set design and then onto stop motion, which led onto over 50 music videos which further led to working in a more cinematic capacity. It's been a hugely creative path, all underpinned by music which also forms a huge link in the chain (as you'll hear from the mutual interest in Operation Ivy and Rancid), and as with all Distraction Pieces the chat reins are loosened and conversation wanders into all sorts of awesome ground.

We cover: • Epstein's Cabal — why elites keep shielding predators like Jeffrey Epstein, Diddy, Jay-Z, and Chrissy Teigen while lecturing the public on morality • Celebrity hypocrisy — Bad Bunny cashing a Super Bowl paycheck after claiming he'd stop performing in the U.S., Billie Eilish's “stolen land” virtue signaling, and the disturbing deleted tweets cancel culture forgot • White liberal meltdown — racial slurs aimed at Black ICE agents, vigilante tactics, and political candidates openly encouraging gangs to confront federal law enforcement • “Mamdani Madness” & NYC decline — how Zohran Mamdani represents a broader collapse: radical optics, criminals being courted, trash barriers rising, taxpayer dollars flowing to undocumented immigrants — plus outrage over tapping a former Al-Qaeda–linked 9/11 defense attorney to help run legal affairs in New York • Taqiyya explained — how ideological deception operates in modern politics and activism • Culture-war flashpoints — trans ideology, the SAVE Act, voter ID suddenly labeled “racist,” and the broken social contract • Adrenochrome & elite conspiracies — separating internet myth from real questions about power, corruption, and institutional rot Learn more about your ad choices.

Sonny Von Cleveland opens up about serving nearly two decades in prison and the harsh realities of being young, white, and unprepared for prison life. Pulled into violence and survival politics at an early age, Sonny breaks down what it really takes to make it through long prison sentences, the fear, the mistakes, and the lessons learned the hard way behind bars. He speaks candidly about navigating race, identity, and power inside prison, how incarceration forced him to confront his past, and the mindset shift that ultimately saved his life. Today, Sonny has transformed his story into purpose as a speaker, mentor, and community leader, proving that even the darkest chapters don't have to define how the story ends. _____________________________________________ #PrisonSurvival #MichiganPrison #PrisonLife #TrueCrime #LifeInPrison #PrisonStories #SurvivingPrison #incarceration _____________________________________________ Connect with Sonny Von Cleveland: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sonnyvonclevelandofficial/ Website: https://www.sonnyvoncleveland.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 First Days in Prison: Shock, Fear, and Survival 02:00 Growing Up in the Midwest Before Prison 06:40 Family Trauma, Abuse, and a Broken Childhood 12:00 Surviving Abuse and Learning to Cope 17:00 Running Away, Street Life, and Early Crime 21:00 The Road to Prison: Charges, Conviction, and Sentencing 24:40 Entering Adult Prison for the First Time 26:00 Prison Violence, Gangs, and Losing Innocence 31:30 Regret, Lost Youth, and Missed Chances 35:40 Solitary Confinement, System Failures, and Mental Survival 41:00 Release, Reoffending, and a Second Prison Sentence 46:00 Life After Release: Family Conflict, Crime, and Betrayal 52:00 Solitary Confinement, Transformation, and Forgiveness 59:00 Self-Reflection, Growth, and Mental Survival in Prison 01:03:00 Teaching Others, Service, and Finding Purpose Behind Bars 01:09:00 Leaving Gang Life and Choosing a Different Path 01:14:00 Reentry After Prison: Starting Over From Nothing 01:19:00 Using His Story to Help Others Avoid Prison 01:22:00 Final Advice, Redemption, and Life's True Purpose Learn more about your ad choices.

Luis Gutierrez got pulled into California and Kansas gangs at a young age after a rough childhood that set him on a violent path. In this episode, Luis tells the full story of how a crime that resulted in the murder of his close friend led him to turn down an 11-year plea deal and receive life in prison, sending him into some of Kansas' most brutal and dangerous maximum-security prisons. He shares raw, uncensored stories from inside those prisons, the violence he witnessed, and the mindset required to survive decades behind bars. Luis also opens up about the redemption that changed his life in prison, the steps he took to earn a real chance at freedom, and an unexpected love story after meeting a prison staff member who ultimately lost her job over their relationship. Today, Luis runs a successful nonprofit and tattoo shop, using his past to help others avoid the same mistakes and prove that even a life sentence doesn't have to be the end of the story. _____________________________________________ #PrisonSurvival #KansasPrison #PrisonLife #TrueCrime #LifeInPrison #PrisonStories #SurvivingPrison #incarceration _____________________________________________ Thank you to WARBY PARKER for sponsoring this episode: Our listeners get 15% off plus free shipping when they buy two or more pairs of prescription glasses at https://warbyparker.com/LOCKEDIN — using our link helps support the show. #WarbyParker #ad _____________________________________________ Connect with Luis Gutierrez: http://www.redemptionanimalrescueks.com _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 First Days in Prison & Early Survival 01:11 Life After Prison: Redemption Inc, Second Chances & Animal Rescue 04:46 Childhood, Family, and the Roots of Trauma 09:30 Moving States, Gangs, and Juvenile Arrests 13:30 The Turning Point: Tragedy, Charges, and Sentencing 20:11 First Time in Prison: Violence, Fear, and Reality Setting In 28:42 Prison Politics, Gang Life, and How to Stay Alive 39:39 Solitary Confinement, Prison Mentors, and Learning to Adapt 48:47 Life in Segregation: Art, Mental Survival, and Trauma 59:39 Drugs in Prison, Relationships, and a Shift in Mindset 01:12:10 Prison Dog Programs, Redemption, and Meeting Melissa 01:23:53 Preparing for Freedom, Relapse Risks, and Setbacks 01:29:06 Facing the Parole Board and Fighting for a Second Chance 01:39:01 Life After Prison: Community Work, Business, and Giving Back 01:47:02 Family, Marriage, and Rebuilding Trust After Prison 01:51:01 Advice for At-Risk Youth and the Power of Redemption Learn more about your ad choices.

Verdict with Ted Cruz
Oil Means National Security, Rep. Jim Jordan vs Jack Smith & Crime Crashes Coast‑to‑Coast Week In Review

Verdict with Ted Cruz

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 24, 2026 30:31 Transcription Available


1. Oil Prices & National Security Lower global oil prices weaken hostile regimes like Iran, Russia, and Venezuela by reducing their revenue. The Trump administration aims for a “sweet spot” oil price ($60–$70/barrel): Low enough to hurt adversaries. High enough to avoid bankrupting U.S. independent oil producers. If prices drop into the $40s, it could collapse small oil producers in Texas and the Permian Basin. 2. Venezuela’s Oil Infrastructure Venezuela has the world’s largest proven oil reserves, but decades of mismanagement have destroyed its infrastructure. Estimates from oil executives: Increasing production from 1 million to 3 million barrels/day could take 10 years and require $100B+ in investment. Even going from 1 million to 2 million/day would take 5–7 years. Gulf Coast refineries can process Venezuela’s heavy sour crude, but expanded imports would mostly affect Canada and Mexico, not U.S. light-sweet crude producers. 3. Cuba’s Economic Crisis Cuba historically survived on financial support from: The Soviet Union (until its collapse). Venezuela under Chávez/Maduro (oil and money). With Venezuela no longer able to support Cuba, the island is in economic freefall. Mexico is currently providing oil that helps sustain the Cuban regime. The Trump administration may pressure Mexico to cut this supply, potentially pushing Cuba toward political collapse. 4. Jack Smith & January 6th Investigation Smith is accused of leading a politically motivated prosecution against Donald Trump. He allegedly relied on questionable or disproven testimony, notably from Cassidy Hutchinson. Hutchinson’s dramatic claims (e.g., Trump lunging for a steering wheel) were not confirmed by eyewitnesses. Jim Jordan challenged Smith in hearings, accusing him of: Using unreliable witnesses. Conducting a partisan, anti-Trump investigation. Targeting large numbers of Republicans with subpoenas. 5. Crime Statistics & Trump Administration Policies Nationwide murder rates reportedly declined ~20% from 2024 to 2025. Approx. 1,400 fewer murders. Major cities showing decreases: Chicago: 30% NYC: 20% Baltimore: 31% Oakland: 33% Washington, D.C.: 31% (after National Guard deployment) Other violent crimes also declined: Motor vehicle theft: ↓25% Robbery: ↓18% Aggravated assault: ↓8% Law enforcement stats cited: Violent crime arrests: ↑100% Gangs disrupted: ↑210% Fentanyl seized: ↑31% Missing/abducted children located: ↑22% Human traffickers arrested: ↑15% Significant increase in arrests of espionage suspects and fugitives.
