For months, the biggest economic story in the world has, seemingly, been tariffs. But according to Mark Blyth, a political economist at Brown University, that's only a small part of it. On the week's TLDR, Blyth breaks down how the U.S. is reshaping the global economic and political order — and what it might mean for Canada. Plus, we take a look at luxury goods markets: what's up? What's down? And why? And, we examine what happened when some religious scammers created their own cryptocurrency.

PPP isn't some hot new token — it's the acronym behind billions in fraud. And in this episode, we're looking at two very different but equally staggering cases that prove the grift didn't end with lockdowns.First up: Sidhartha “Sammy” Mukherjee and his wife Sunita, Bollywood performers turned alleged scammers, accused of using fake real estate contracts and forged PPP documents to defraud over 100 victims in their own North Texas Indian-American community. According to the lead investigator, “In my 23 years, this is the most prolific fraudster I've seen.”Then we head to Marietta, Georgia, where Carl Delano Torjagbo was just convicted for stealing nearly $13 million through pandemic relief and IRS refund scams — using the money to buy mansions, Lamborghinis, a yacht, and even plastic surgery.From Plano to plastic surgery, PPP fraud has taken many forms — but all of them rely on one thing: a good story.

We're back with science-based naturopathic doctor, Dr. Josh Levitt. No, it doesn't have to be an oxymoron - he's a myth-buster extraordinaire and this conversation is all about finding the truth in the mess of modern wellness. From essential oils and detoxes to gallbladder flushes and ear candles, we get into what's actually helpful, what's hype, and why so many people get caught in the middle. Dr. Josh and I talk about the nuance that often gets lost in clickbait culture — how real healing usually lives in the gray space between conventional and natural medicine. He shares how his own journey (which involves a blister, a Swiss pharmacy, and a serious wake-up call) shaped his approach to integrative care. And we dig into why people fall for bad health advice, how to spot the red flags, and what you can do instead. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting health info or frustrated by medical systems that leave out the whole picture, this episode is for you. 00:00 | Meet Dr. Josh Levitt (Again) 02:30 | Medicine as a Bridge, Not a Binary 05:50 | The Problem with Extremes in Wellness 08:50 | Snake Oil: The Origin Story 12:05 | Essential Oils: Helpful or Hype? 17:15 | Buyer Beware: Scams, Grifters & the Gray Area 21:15 | Ear Candles: A Hot Mess (Literally) 26:00 | Gallbladder Flushes & Detox Culture 33:30 | Life After Gallbladder Surgery: What No One Tells You 39:15 | Why We're Still So Sick Find Dr. Josh: upwellness.com instagram.com/drjoshlevitt tiktok.com/@drjoshlevitt Find Stacy: ⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠ ⁠⁠missionmakersart.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Step inside a world of opulence, excess, and elaborate deception. While the Gilded Age is known for its industrial titans and lavish parties, a dark and fascinating criminal underworld was thriving, run by some of history's most audacious con artists. In this episode, we uncover the shocking true stories of the female grifters of the Gilded Age, a group of women who used society's expectations against itself to swindle fortunes. Author Annie Reed joins us to reveal how these master manipulators stole millions, outsmarted the shrewdest businessmen, and became legends of crime.From high-stakes cons that shook the financial world to elaborate romance scams, this episode explores the lives of the most notorious Gilded Age swindlers. We begin with the incredible tale of Cassie Chadwick, the subject of Annie Reed's book, The Imposter Heiress. Chadwick masterminded one of the era's biggest scams by convincing bankers she was Andrew Carnegie's illegitimate daughter, securing millions in fraudulent loans. Her story serves as the yardstick against which all other swindlers were measured. But she was far from alone. We delve into the reasons why the Gilded Age was the perfect breeding ground for these criminals, as women began to demand more agency in a world dominated by men and speculative wealth. The conversation then turns to other legendary figures, including Ellen Peck, a lifelong "jack of all trades" swindler in New York whose criminal career spanned decades and netted her an estimated $30 million in today's money. We also uncover the story of Bertha "Big Bertha" Heyman, the "Confidence Queen" who retired from a life of crime to become a theater owner and lecturer. A particularly dark story is that of Sarah Howe, who preyed on vulnerable women with her "Ladies Deposit Bank," an early and cruel Ponzi scheme. Finally, we explore the incredible tale of the House of Hearts swindle, a massive marriage scam run by best friends Izzella Brown and Vina, who lured countless men into phony engagements to steal their money. These incredible true stories of the female grifters of the Gilded Age reveal a hidden side of American history, where cunning women built empires on lies.About Our Guest:Annie Reed is an author and historian specializing in American history and female criminals. She is the author of the bestselling book, The Imposter Heiress, which details the unbelievable life and crimes of Cassie Chadwick. After stumbling upon Chadwick's story, Reed fell down a rabbit hole of research into the many forgotten female swindlers, grifters, and thieves of the Gilded Age, becoming a leading expert on the topic.Timestamps:(00:00) The Notorious Women of the Gilded Age(01:04) The Story of Cassie Chadwick, The Imposter Heiress(04:24) Why Did Women Become Swindlers in the Gilded Age?(07:11) Ellen Peck: New York's Lifelong "Jack of All Trades" Swindler(09:26) Big Bertha Heyman: The "Confidence Queen" Who Retired(11:20) Sarah Howe and the "Ladies Deposit Bank" Ponzi Scheme(13:40) Mabel Parker's Expert Forgery Ring(15:12) Inside the "House of Hearts" Marriage Swindle(19:26) How Gilded Age Cons Connect to Modern Scams(22:31) International Counterparts: The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum & The 40 Elephants

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, 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. This mix of Marxist Islamists and isolation conmen is very dangerous - even Trump isn't good enough for them. You stand with Trump, or you don't. Also, an entire staff at a hospital in Suwayda, Syria, was slaughtered by Islamist terrorists. The Druze, an Arab minority sect, are being attacked by terrorist groups backed by the Syrian military, and only Israel and the IDF are intervening by entering Syria to defend them through attacks on terrorists and Syrian forces. Later, Zohran Mamdani is an anti-Semite, racist, and Islamist Marxist who refuses to denounce the Global Intifada slogan promoting terrorism, wants to tax white neighborhoods more, and seeks to seize private property. His ​ideology ​is ​that ​of ​Lenin, ​Mao, ​Stalin ​and ​Castro but there are Democrats like AOC and Sen Bernie Sander who back him anyway. Afterward, Gov Greg Abbott, with support from Trump and the DOJ, has called a special session in Texas to redraw congressional districts after findings of illegal gerrymandering. This could net Republicans up to five additional House seats. Democrats, led by Hakeem Jeffries, are in panic mode, planning a walkout to deny quorum—similar to their failed 2021 effort—but Republicans are prepared to counter with arrests, fines, or seat vacancies.

6/24/25 - Exposing the Truth Behind Political Grifters

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, it's important to hold the isolationists like Chatsworth Qatarlson (Tucker Carlson), Steve Bannon, and Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene accountable. They have undermined President Trump and aided enemies by opposing action against Iran's nuclear program. They attack Trump despite benefiting from his actions or pardons. They are dangerous liars who seek to undermine Trump's presidency. These isolationists engage in character assassination rather than legitimate policy disagreement, particularly Qatarlson's accusation that Trump is complicit in risking World War III. We should ignore their so-called influencers. Also, Iran has been militarily defeated by Israel and had its nuclear program destroyed by U.S. forces under Trump. Despite these setbacks, the enemy persists. Questions remain about whether any ceasefire with a terrorist regime known for decades of violence, deception, and refusal to abandon nuclear ambitions will work. Trump is to be trusted. He wants to win for America and his record is stellar. Let's see how it goes. Later, New York City Mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa calls in to discuss the NYC Democratic primary, Andrew Cuomo vs Zohran Mamdani, an Islamist. Sliwa warns that Mamdani's potential victory could lead to a massive flight from NYC, further draining investment, and businesses. Sliwa is a solution to restore law and order, urging voters to ‘improve, don't move' by electing him. Later, the "only one missile was fired into Israel" argument wouldn't fly if only one missile is fired into our country -- especially after hundreds of these missiles had already been fired into our country aimed at our cities. Would that be ok with us? Of course not. And let us reiterate to our enemies, that it would not be ok. Finally, Daniel Flesch, Senior Policy Analyst for Middle East Policy at the Heritage Foundation, calls in and explains that Israel and the U.S. decisively set back Iran's nuclear ambitions and military capabilities in days. Israel's strikes, echoing the 1967 Six Day War, and the U.S.'s precise operation signaled to Iran, Russia, and China a readiness to use swift force to protect interests, strengthening regional dominance and U.S.-Israel ties, though risking Iranian retaliation.
