Improbable as it would have once seemed, Donald Trump is the dominant political figure of the first quarter of the 21st century, creating a populist movement not seen in recent American history. But is he really a conservative, and what are the defining characteristics of the way he has bent the Republican party to his will? On this episode of Free Expression, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich talks to Gerry Baker about his new book, “Trump's Triumph: America's Greatest Comeback,” why the lack of coverage of Joe Biden's cognitive decline is one of history's greatest scandals, and why the courts should not have the power and authority over Donald Trump's executive power.

This week we are dodging both serial killers and potentially God while we discuss “Improbable”! We're talking the strangely Italian everything about this episode, how much we adore Ray McKinnon's scowl, Burt Reynolds' charm, the lengths Robert Patrick will go to to avoid being in a silly scene, the probably sarcastic clapping circle for Reyes, and the forty-second shot where we all have to pretend Arlene Pileggi is Gillian Anderson. They thought we wouldn't notice! We derail for a while and try to figure out what NUMB3RS is about, throw tomatoes at all the bad lip-syncing, talk about how important it is for serial killers to name themselves, and feel a ghost walk over our graves about a terrifying deleted scene. We all dodged a bullet.Send us an email at scullynationpod@gmail.com or follow us on Instagram!

Quoi qu'il advienne, la journée du mardi 25 mars 2025 restera comme un tournant dans la mystérieuse disparition du petit Emile Soleil, deux ans et demi. Ce jour-là, vingt mois après le début de l'affaire, les grands-parents maternels de l'enfant sont placés en garde à vue sous l'incrimination la plus grave qui soit à savoir "homicide volontaire". Un rebondissement qui replace soudain l'enquête sur le terrain familial. Et laisse supposer que le drame de la disparition et la mort de l'enfant se serait joué dans la maison de vacances du hameau du Haut-Vernet, dans les Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. Isabelle, auditrice de l'émission, réagit à l'affaire dans l'émission spéciale "Les auditeurs ont la parole".

The Author Events Series presents Fawn Weaver  | Love & Whiskey: The Remarkable True Story of Jack Daniel, His Master Distiller Nearest Green, and the Improbable Rise of Uncle Nearest  REGISTER In Conversation with Michelle Miller Embark on a captivating journey with Love & Whiskey. New York Times bestselling author Fawn Weaver unveils the hidden narrative behind one of America's most iconic whiskey brands. This book is a vibrant exploration set in the present day, delving into the life and legacy of Nearest Green, the African American distilling genius who played a pivotal role in the creation of the whiskey that bears Jack Daniel's name. Set against the backdrop of Lynchburg, Tennessee, this narrative weaves together a thrilling blend of personal discovery, historical investigation, and the revelation of a story long overshadowed by time. Through extensive research, personal interviews, and the uncovering of long-buried documents, Weaver brings to light not only the remarkable bond between Nearest Green and Jack Daniel but also Daniel's concerted efforts during his lifetime to ensure Green's legacy would not be forgotten. This deep respect for his teacher, mentor, and friend was mirrored in Jack's dedication to ensuring that the stories and achievements of Nearest Green's descendants, who continued the tradition of working side by side with Jack and his descendants, would also not be forgotten. Love & Whiskey is more than just a recounting of historical facts; it's a live journey into the heart of storytelling, where every discovery adds a layer to the rich tapestry of American history. Weaver's pursuit highlights the importance of acknowledging those who have shaped our cultural landscape; yet remained in the shadows. As Weaver intertwines her present-day quest with the historical threads of Green and Daniel's lives, she not only pays homage to their legacy but also spearheads the creation of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey. This endeavor has not only brought Nearest Green's name to the forefront of the whiskey industry but has also set new records, symbolizing a step forward in recognizing and celebrating African American contributions to the spirit world. Love & Whiskey invites readers to witness a story of enduring friendship, resilience, and the impact of giving credit where it's long overdue. It's an inspiring tale of how uncovering the past can forge new paths and how the spirit of whiskey has connected lives across generations. Join Fawn Weaver on this extraordinary adventure, as she navigates through the layers of history, friendship, and the unbreakable bonds formed by the legacy of America's native spirit, ensuring the stories of Nearest Green and his descendants live on in the heart of American culture.
