Tonight, on this explosive, educational, investigative episode of Light ‘Em Up we will explore in-depth the issues of:— The treatment of migrants & refugees— Criminal Immigration— How the radical right-wing politicized and took advantage of the death of Laken Riley when in reality they really didn't give a single, solitary care about her — taking advantage of and using her death as a political football.With this, our 95th episode, we are now heard in 122 countries around the globe.Again, we challenge you to listen and think critically to this episode. With the recent passing of Pope Francis, at the age of 88, on Monday April 21st -- the day after the Christian world celebrates Easter — we wanted to examine in-depth the “theory” of those people who claim to be “Christian” yet use race, color and country of origin as a sledge-hammer for fascism.Whether they claim to be:— Christian Nationalists— Christian Fascists— Christian Conservatives— EvangelicalsYou name it … people who claim to be “doing the work of Jesus Christ” while steadily:— Denigrating— Persecuting and prosecuting migrants … the foreign born— LGBTQ individuals and— People of color.“Othering” pretty much everyone who isn't them.April 30th marked 100 days of Donald Trump's second term — over the past three months, the president has issued more than 100 executive orders that aim to bypass Congress and change policy through unilateral action. His administration has:— Imposed sweeping tariffs on virtually every country in the world— Withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization— Declared a national emergency at the southern border— It has purported to rewrite election rules and end birthright citizenship.— It is attacking major law firms and universities and much, much more.But we ask, has this flurry of orders affected fundamental change?To date, there have already been 46 challenges to executive orders pending in court, and the administration has had no outright victory in any of them. Judges appointed by presidents of both parties have put the brakes on Trump's fascist plans for change.Will the courts continue to thwart his lawless agenda?This is a pivotal moment in the history of this country that will affect it for all time going forward — as the Trump administration strives to keep the politics of fear and panic alive.Without fear or favor we follow the facts and tackle the topics that touch your lives.Tune in for all of the explosive details.

JT breaks down Michigan's decision to give head coach Sherrone Moore a two-game suspension in what feels more like a PR move than real punishment, especially considering the soft matchups in Weeks 3 and 4. He also examines why Ty Simpson, while not flashy, is the steady hand Alabama needs in 2025 and why Kalen DeBoer is making the right decision rolling with him as the Crimson Tide QB. JT makes the case that South Carolina is being slept on despite finishing 2024 as one of the hottest teams in college football, and he warns fans not to overlook Matt Rhule's Nebraska squad, which may be primed for a breakout behind Dylan Raiola. Plus, he reacts to Gavin Sawchuck's transfer to Florida State and ranks every starting QB from the Nick Saban era at Alabama—from John Parker Wilson to Bryce Young—ranking them based on performance, legacy, and big-game impact.

Our guest on this week's episode is Matthew Haber, the CEO and co-founder of Cofactr. Recent surveys show that both consumers and business leaders don't think tariffs are a good thing. In both cases they feel this economic policy is leading us to higher prices and a recession. Manufacturers in particular are trying to figure out what to do next. And our guest today looks at the impacts of the changing U.S. trade policies on manufacturing. A study out this week confirms that some of the actions supply chain professionals have taken in recent years to build up their companies' resilience have worked – most companies say they are confident in their ability to manage disruptions these days. However, a good portion of those supply chain pros also point to some lingering problems – particularly when it comes to supply chain visibility. This week we heard about another type of fee being applied by the Trump Administration on global trade, which is a new set of fees starting in October that will affect cargo vessels and container ships that are built, owned, or operated by Chinese companies. The White House says this has to do with unfair foreign practices affecting U.S. commerce. We dig into what the supply chain industry says about these new fees. Will they help or hurt U.S. businesses?Supply Chain Xchange also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.

Kasey D'Amato's experience goes from launching a dermatology division and founding a global skincare brand to building a multi-seven-figure real estate portfolio. In this episode, Kasey shares her insights on how leaders can avoid burnout, overcome stagnation, and create a life that aligns with their true purpose. She introduces her Holistic Leadership Mastery™ Framework, which breaks leadership into four essential quadrants and explains why so many leaders feel overwhelmed despite their achievements. We discuss why leaders should periodically disconnect, how to recalibrate every 90 days, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people. She also shares her personal story of career reinvention, going from a physician assistant to a business leader and leadership coach. Kasey emphasizes that many successful professionals eventually feel stuck, questioning, "What's the point?" even when they have achieved financial success. She explains how leaders can overcome this by focusing on emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-awareness. Kasey also talks about how leaders can break free from self-imposed limitations. She also discusses the importance of regularly evaluating time and energy allocation, challenging leaders to reassess 20% of their calendars every 90 days. Whether you're thinking about a career pivot or struggling with burnout, this episode provides actionable insights to help you lead a fulfilling life. Key Takeaways [02:12] Kasey and her husband rescue and rehabilitate large dogs with difficult pasts. She finds that this requires calm, confident leadership, much like business leadership. [04:20] Many leaders neglect their personal well-being, relationships, and joy. Kasey's framework breaks leadership into four quadrants: business acumen, self-leadership, team leadership, and industry leadership. A strong leader balances all four. [06:58] Kasey agrees that leaders often misallocate time and energy. Most spend too much time on tasks that don't drive results. She recommends reviewing time allocation every 90 days to ensure alignment with goals. [08:24] Leaders often focus solely on strengths but may ignore personal weaknesses that could limit them in the long run. Kasey believes that while focusing on strengths is good, leaders should also be aware of what they are neglecting and consciously decide how to balance priorities. [14:15] She felt she had mastered her previous roles and began asking, “Is this all there is?” She realized she wanted to impact others in a broader way, leading her to reinvention. [19:21] Kasey advises completely disconnecting from routine for at least a week (ideally out of the country) to gain clarity. It takes about five days for the mind to stop focusing on daily work and start thinking about bigger questions like “Am I happy?” [24:35] Leaders often avoid tough decisions or self-improvement. Kasey recommends surrounding yourself with three types of accountability partners: mentors, peers, and direct reports. [28:34] Kasey plays the “What If” game with clients. If they say they don't have time or money, she asks, “What if you did? What would you do differently?” This helps reverse engineer solutions and uncover creative options. [35:59] And remember, “When you have balance in your life, work becomes an entirely different experience. There is a passion that moves you to a whole new level of fulfillment and gratitude, and that's when you can do your best for yourself and for others.” - Cara Delevingne Quotable Quotes “Am I happy? Is this the life I dreamed of?” “We are our own problem. Look in the mirror.” “If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will.” “You need to recalibrate your time and energy every 90 days.” “The first step to resilience is awareness. Just being aware changes everything.” “What if you did have time? What would you do differently?” “I'm the queen of reinvention.” “Confidence is critical. If you don't believe in yourself, nobody else will.” Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors. LLC | Self-Reliant Leadership.

As the global economy reels in the aftermath of U-S President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff announcements, Mr Trump claims more than 50 nations have reached out to try and negotiate deals with the U-S. - Saat ekonomi global terpuruk akibat pengumuman tarif besar-besaran Presiden AS Donald Trump, Presiden Trump mengklaim lebih dari 50 negara telah berusaha keras untuk menegosiasikan kesepakatan dengan AS.
More than 50 countries have contacted US President Donald Trump to try to negotiate following the sweeping tariffs he announced last week. POLITICO's senior legal affairs reporter Josh Gerstein spoke to Alexa Cook.
The New York Yankees dropped their ban on beards 49 years after it was imposed by owner George Steinbrenner, in a move aimed at improving player recruitment as the team tries to win its first World Series title since 2009. Current owner Hal Steinbrenner, son of The Boss, announced the change before the team's spring training opener. He called the ban "outdated" and "somewhat unreasonable." "This generation, the vast majority of 20, 30s-into-the-40s men in this country have beards," Steinbrenner said during a news conference, flanked by general manager Brian Cashman. "It is a part of who these younger men are. It's part of their character. It's part of their persona. Do I totally relate to that? It's difficult for me. I'm an older guy who's never had a beard in his life but it's a very important thing to them. They feel it defines their character." George Steinbrenner announced the facial hair policy during spring training in 1976, mandating no long hair or beards—mustaches were allowed. Players complied but some pushed boundaries by going unshaven or letting hair fall over their collars. "My dad was in the military. He believed that a team should look in a disciplined manner," Hal Steinbrenner said. "Very important to my father, but again (for) my father, nothing is more important than winning and that's in the back of my mind." Hal Steinbrenner, who succeeded his father as controlling owner in November 2008, said he had considered the issue for a decade and discussed the contemplated change recently with Yankees stars Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Gerrit Cole in one-on-one meetings. Steinbrenner then issued a statement that "we will be amending our expectations to allow our players and uniformed personnel to have well-groomed beards moving forward." Cashman said some current players had told him about the facial hair ban, "It's not what I want. It's not my preference, but I will honor the rules of the land."

The Trade Minister is playing down New Zealand's chances of getting an exemption to Donald Trump's 10% tariffs. The Trump administration says it's imposing the tariffs in response to our 20% tariff on US goods. Todd McClay says our average tariff on US goods is actually less than 2%, and the 20% figure appears to be based on the trade balance between our countries last year. He told Mike Hosking we may be able to correct their record, but we probably won't be able to change their minds. McClay says even if New Zealand officials can make their case to the US counterparts, the minimum base rate for tariffs remains at 10%.

Episode Description:In this AI episode, we break down President Donald J. Trump's latest declaration of a national emergency—a bold move designed to increase America's competitive edge, protect national sovereignty, and strengthen economic security. A 10% tariff on all imports has been imposed, with higher tariffs on countries imposing greater trade barriers on the U.S. But what does this mean for businesses, consumers, and global trade?
Donald Trump has finally unveiled his sweeping tariff plan - and many countries have been caught up in it. The US President's announced 10 percent tariffs on almost all imports to the US. They're much higher for some countries and products - including 25 percent on vehicles, 34 percent on China, and nearly 50 percent on some other countries. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Trump's focused on protecting the US from "unrelenting economic warfare" - but it's unclear what that could do to global relations.

The FCA asserts that Staley "recklessly misled" both the regulator and the Barclays board regarding the nature and extent of his association with Epstein, leading to his resignation from Barclays in 2021.In his defense, Staley contends that Barclays was fully aware of his longstanding professional relationship with Epstein, emphasizing that their interactions were primarily business-related. He argues that the FCA's decision was reached unfairly, without providing him or Barclays an adequate opportunity to respond.

Jes Staley, the former CEO of Barclays, is currently challenging a ban imposed by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) that prohibits him from holding senior positions in the financial sector. The FCA alleges that Staley misled regulators about the nature and extent of his relationship with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Central to the FCA's case is a 2019 letter from Barclays to the FCA, which stated that Staley did not have a close relationship with Epstein and that their last contact occurred well before Staley joined Barclays in 2015. However, evidence presented by the FCA, including approximately 1,200 emails exchanged between Staley and Epstein from 2008 to 2012, suggests a closer relationship. In these emails, Staley referred to Epstein as "family" and "one of our deepest friends," contradicting the claims made in the 2019 letter.Staley's defense argues that Barclays was fully aware of his longstanding professional relationship with Epstein, asserting that the bank's board had been briefed on the matter. They contend that the 2019 letter to the FCA was intended solely to confirm that neither Staley nor Barclays had any knowledge of or involvement in Epstein's unlawful conduct, rather than to define the closeness of their relationship. The hearing, which commenced on March 3, 2025, at the Upper Tribunal in London, is expected to last two weeks. It will feature testimonies from prominent figures in the financial sector, including Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey and Barclays Chair Nigel Higgins. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for Staley's career and the broader financial industry, as it brings to light the responsibilities of senior executives in disclosing associations with controversial figures.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein: This ex-CEO is risking all to clear his name over the paedophile
