In this episode, Brian welcomes John from Indiana for a gripping conversation that dives headfirst into the strange, unsettling, and deeply fascinating edges of the paranormal. John shares his journey from lifelong skeptic to reluctant believer, a transformation sparked by a ghost hunt at the Randolph County Infirmary that challenged everything he thought he knew. From there, the experiences only escalate.He recounts chilling encounters in Ohio's Tar Hollow State Park, where unexplained stenches, heavy movements, and unnatural sounds hinted at something far from ordinary—possibly even Bigfoot itself.The conversation takes a darker turn as John describes a terrifying late-night drive that brought him face-to-face with a gray, humanoid figure crossing the road, an encounter eerily reminiscent of what many refer to as a “pale crawler.”Together, Brian and John explore possible explanations for these phenomena, weaving in theories involving ancient Native American mounds, burial sites, and the idea that certain locations may act as catalysts for high strangeness. John also introduces his podcast, Myths, Monsters, and the Unexplained, where he continues to investigate cryptids, folklore, and firsthand encounters that refuse to fit neatly into our understanding of reality.This episode blurs the line between skepticism and belief and asks the question: what happens when the unexplained starts following you home?Myths Monsters and Mullets YouTube ChannelGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

There's been a stark warning to MPs about the number of women pensioners living in poverty. The house of commons work and pensions committee has been hearing the pension system is dysfunctional, and contributing to more gender disparity, that's according to the feminist economic think tank the Women's Budget Group, which gave evidence yesterday. Anita Rani is joined by their incoming director Dr Daniella Jenkins and Sarah Pennells, consumer specialist at Royal London finance company.New figures revealed in a super-complaint suggest tens of thousands of sexual offence investigations are taking years to complete with some stretching beyond seven years to complete. Campaigners say excessive police delays are causing serious harm to survivors leaving them in limbo and may even be breaching their human rights. The complaint has been submitted by a coalition of legal and support organisations including Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre. Anita is joined by one of the co-authors, Ellie Ball, an Independent Sexual Violence Advisor Manager, who's helped survivors of sexual violence navigate the criminal justice system for over a decade.Madeleine Gray's first book Green Dot was a big hit and she's just published her second novel – Chosen Family. She joins Anita to discuss her fairy tale debut novel story, how then writing a second was daunting and why your ‘chosen family' is so important.Is there a gender gap when it comes to using AI? Journalist Olivia Petter says the men she meets are obsessed with using it but believes that women are far more cautious. Studies show women are less likely to use AI in the workplace. As the government rolls out free AI training for every UK adult, the question is: what happens if women don't feel equally confident or equally protected in this new AI driven world? Olivia and Prof Gina Neff from the  Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy at the University of Cambridge join Anita to discuss. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Corinna Jones

The years that followed Brian's childhood encounter in Lyerly weren't easy, but they were transformative. His mother beat cancer, earned her degree, and rebuilt their lives piece by piece. Brian found his footing too—working his way up from fast food to restaurant management, discovering he had a gift for handling people and solving problems.But something else was happening beneath the surface.In rural Georgia during the early nineties, Brian came to terms with a truth he'd been running from—he was gay. A relationship with a coworker named Marcus brought clarity, but also consequences. Friends disappeared. Family members stopped calling. The people who stayed proved who really mattered. A career in juvenile corrections followed—seven years working with teenagers society had written off. Then came the badge he'd always wanted, a posting in the remote mountain town of Suches Georgia, and a chance meeting with a sheriff's deputy named Daniel that would change everything. Together, they bought forty acres in the North Carolina mountains backing up to the Pisgah National Forest.And almost immediately, the strangeness began. Howls in the night. Rocks appearing in impossible places. Lights with no source. Something was out there, watching their new home. Brian's unexpected run for Caldwell County Sheriff opened doors he never anticipated—including a partnership with a forest ranger named Zach who'd been quietly documenting the truth for years. Dozens of people had vanished in the Pisgah. The evidence pointed to something the government was desperate to hide. Then a college student named Austin Mercer disappeared, and the trail camera footage he left behind changed everything.Now Brian faces an impossible choice. Men in black suits have delivered a clear message—back off or lose everything. But walking away means more people die in the darkness of those ancient woods.Part Two of Bigfoot Country is the story of a man finding his identity, his purpose, and his courage—and discovering that sometimes the monsters in the forest are easier to face than the ones who want to keep them secret.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

Tonight Brian sits down with Jacob from Oregon expecting to talk about Bigfoot, but boy was he wrong. What begins as a straightforward conversation about Sasquatch quickly veers into far stranger territory, as Jacob reveals a series of encounters that stretch the limits of what most people consider possible. Jacob explains how his journey into the unexplained started with disturbing reports out of the Congo and eventually led him deep into the forests of Washington and Oregon. Along the way, he collected eyewitness testimonies and experienced events that pointed to something far beyond the traditional Sasquatch narrative. He recounts chilling descriptions of massive, reptilian, winged creatures seen in remote wilderness areas, including a shocking encounter that forces both host and listener to rethink what might still exist beyond the reach of accepted science. As the conversation unfolds, Jacob addresses the skepticism surrounding these sightings, exploring how such creatures could exist outside known classifications and why dismissing them outright may be premature. The discussion expands into the realm of high strangeness, touching on theories involving environmental anomalies, unexplained aerial phenomena, and the possibility of portals, while drawing intriguing parallels to other legendary encounters often reported around the world.Throughout the episode, Jacob emphasizes the importance of approaching the unexplained with an open mind, careful investigation, and a willingness to follow the evidence wherever it leads—even when it challenges everything we think we know.The Ropen Network YouTube Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In the movie 1973 film Walking Tall, Sheriff Buford Pusser is a heroic law enforcement officer in small-town Tennessee whose fight against the Dixie Mafia leads to an ambush and shooting that left his beloved wife Pauline dead. The movie and its sequels and remakes made Pusser, who died in a 1974 car crash, into a folk hero. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson played him in the 2004 Walking Tall remake. The Pusser legend became a cottage industry for Adamsville, Tennessee, where the Buford Pusser Home and Museum is based. Mike Elam, a former law enforcement officer, started researching Pusser's life as a hobby back in the 1970s. Once the internet became an avenue for exploration, "I started a social media page and I was very much a fan of Buford Pusser at that time," Pusser tells Modern Law Library host Lee Rawles. "And it was one of those things where I got to researching it and learned far too much for my own liking, because I did not like the man I saw as opposed to the one that was in the movie." Elam's decades of research and interviews with people who had encountered Pusser led to a book, Buford Pusser: The Other Story. It also led to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations reopening the case into Pauline Pusser's murder and exhuming her body. In 2025, they announced that the investigation revealed details that pointed to one suspect: Buford Pusser himself. In this episode, Elam discusses his long investigation, tips for other true crime citizen detectives, what he thinks now about the way Buford Pusser has been memorialized–and how he found the gun that killed Pauline.  

In this episode of 'One in Ten,' host Teresa Huizar speaks with Liisa Järvilehto, a psychologist and Ph.D. candidate at the University of Helsinki, about the positive uses of AI in child abuse investigations and forensic interviews. The conversation addresses the common misuse of AI and explores its potential in assisting professionals by proposing hypotheses, generating question sets, and more. The discussion delves into the application of large language models (LLMs) in generating alternative hypotheses and the nuances of using these tools to avoid confirmation bias in interviews. Huizar and Järvilehto also touch on the practical implications for current practitioners and future research directions.  Time Stamps:  00:00 Introduction to the Episode 00:00 Introduction to the Episode 00:22 Exploring AI in Child Abuse Investigations 01:06 Introducing Liisa Järvilehto and Her Research 01:48 Challenges in Child Abuse Investigations 04:24 The Role of Large Language Models 06:28 Addressing Bias in Investigations 09:13 Hypothesis Testing in Forensic Interviews 12:18 Study Design and Findings 25:54 Implications for Practitioners 33:41 Future Research Directions 36:49 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Resources:Pre-interview hypothesis generation: large language models (LLMs) show promise for child abuse investigationsSupport the showDid you like this episode?

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan explains why the White House believes Democrat Party fraud may decide the 2026 midterms, breaks down Trump's push to cap credit card interest rates, unpacks the legal showdown with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and connects fast-moving global developments in Venezuela, China, Mexico, Taiwan, and Iran. The White House's Midterm Strategy: Follow the Fraud: The Trump administration plans to center the midterms on massive fraud in Democrat run states, starting with Minnesota but expanding to New York, Maine, Massachusetts, and California. Investigations reveal Medicaid, daycare, food stamp, and nonprofit fraud involving migrants, with billions in taxpayer dollars potentially sent overseas or recycled into political donations. Bryan argues the scope could shock voters across party lines, especially as Democrats openly admit the fraud while trying to delay investigations through lawsuits. Trump Orders Credit Card Rate Cap: President Trump ordered banks to lower credit card interest rates to no more than 10 percent, down from averages above 20 percent. Banks warn the move could eliminate credit access for risky borrowers, while Trump argues banks abused consumers and can remain profitable at lower rates. Bryan presents the facts and competing arguments, noting the policy is aimed squarely at easing middle-class frustration ahead of the midterms. Legal War With the Federal Reserve: Fed Chair Jerome Powell confirmed he is under criminal investigation for allegedly lying to Congress about a $2.5 billion renovation of Fed headquarters. Powell claims the probe is politically motivated, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent privately warned Trump that prosecuting Powell could spook markets and raise borrowing costs. So far, markets remain calm, but Bryan flags this as a major political and economic risk. Trump Tightens the Squeeze Globally: Trump's Venezuela operation continues to ripple worldwide. China is now paying higher prices for Canadian oil after losing access to cheap Venezuelan crude. Russia has dared the U.S. to seize openly flagged Russian oil tankers, escalating the ghost fleet standoff. Mexico avoided pressure to cut oil to Cuba, likely in exchange for deeper cooperation against cartels that are now using fiber optic drones along the border. Taiwan and Iran Watch Closely: Chinese military planners are studying Trump's Venezuela "snatch and grab" operation as a possible model for Taiwan, although internal purges are slowing Beijing's readiness. Meanwhile, Trump announced new 25 percent tariffs on countries that trade with Iran, primarily targeting China. As protests rage across Iran, Trump is weighing whether to strike regime forces responsible for the crackdown, with a decision expected soon.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: January 13 2026 Wright Report, Democrat fraud midterm strategy, Medicaid migrant fraud investigations, Tim Walz Minnesota scandal, Trump credit card interest cap, banks interest rate debate, Jerome Powell criminal investigation Fed renovation, Scott Bessent market warning, Venezuela oil squeeze China Russia ghost fleet, Mexico cartel drones border, Taiwan snatch and grab fears, Iran protests Trump strike decision

Mike Vetri, Sr. Director of Security Operations at Veeva Systems, reflects on transforming SOC investigations through AI-powered data aggregation and building threat operations teams with the analytical mindset required for proactive defense. Mike introduces the C3 Matrix framework for prioritizing security efforts across centers of gravity, crown jewels, and capability enablers, and explains the seven Ds of cyber defense from discovery through deception operations.  Drawing from 10+ years of Air Force cyber intelligence experience, Mike details why threat operations requires fundamentally different system-two thinking than detection engineering, and how this discipline shift moves organizations from reactive firefighting to proactive threat anticipation. He covers practical examples of AI cutting investigation time by aggregating data from multiple tools, the importance of defense in personnel for operational resilience, and strategies for preventing analyst burnout while maintaining effective security operations.  Topics discussed: How AI transforms insider threat investigations by aggregating workstation logs, browsing history, and DLP alerts into single queries The C3 Matrix framework prioritizes security controls across centers of gravity, crown jewels, and capability enablers based on organizational impact and recoverability Why threat operations requires system-two analytical thinking fundamentally different from the engineering mindset The seven Ds of cyber defense: discover, detect, deny, disrupt, degrade, destroy, and deception operations for comprehensive threat mitigation How deception operations provide the most accurate intelligence by studying adversary behavior in controlled environments The distinction between threat intelligence and threat operations, and why mature SOCs need teams focused on proactive defense strategies Defense in personnel ensures multiple team members can handle each security capability, preventing single points of failure Time-sensitive investigation scenarios where AI delivers maximum ROI by eliminating the need to manually query dozens of security tools The evolution of cyber threats from technical attacks to psychological warfare using AI to challenge human judgment and decision-making Why security culture must extend beyond traditional boundaries as AI-powered threats increasingly target HR processes, financial operations, and business functions Listen to more episodes:  Apple  Spotify  YouTube Website

A scandal so massive it could shatter the political status quo is finally coming into focus—and the numbers are staggering. Federal investigators are uncovering hundreds of millions of dollars in cash funneled out of the U.S. through Minneapolis–St. Paul Airport alone, with tens of billions more nationwide potentially tied to fraud, remittances, and illegal networks. Why did it stop under one administration—and restart under another? Who knew? Who looked the other way? And why are arrests suddenly happening now? This episode connects the dots between cash couriers, welfare fraud, illegal immigration, and political protection. ⚠️

Overnight, the conflict escalated. Federal agents are targeted in Portland and Minneapolis, ICE officers are injured, and political leaders and media outlets rush to defend the attackers while demonizing law enforcement. This episode exposes what the hosts call a classic Marxist guerrilla war, playing out in real time on American streets—complete with political intimidation, media cover-ups, and massive financial corruption tied to illegal networks. From ICE agents being rammed by vehicles to hundreds of millions of dollars in cash leaving U.S. airports, the pieces are finally coming together. ⚠️

Tara breaks down a sweeping federal crackdown unfolding in Minneapolis and beyond — from thousands of fraud and immigration investigators deployed, to explosive revelations about ghost daycare centers, suitcase cash operations, and decades-old investigations buried by Washington. As panic spreads among Democrat officials, Tara explains why this moment is different, how crime statistics are finally moving in the right direction, and why the media's narrative about “chaos” and “war” collapses under basic facts and long-standing law. This episode connects fraud, open borders, crime, censorship, and media deception — and shows why accountability is suddenly back on the table.

Tim Walz just stepped down from his re-election campaign in Minnesota, and the timing couldn't be more suspicious. This comes right as federal agents descend on Minneapolis investigating up to $9 billion in daycare fraud—with shocking connections to Seattle's Somali community. We're talking 2,000 federal agents, citizen journalists knocking on doors finding "daycares" with no children, and a money trail that allegedly spans from Seattle to Minneapolis to Somalia. Walz claims he can't focus on campaigning while dealing with the fraud scandal, but if he's not guilty, why quit now? Meanwhile, Washington Governor Bob Ferguson and Attorney General Nick Brown are scrambling to protect the same suspicious daycare networks here in Seattle, even proposing legislation to shield providers from "harassment"—aka investigative journalism. We dive into the Seattle-Minneapolis connection, the $20 million cash flights, the convicted bribery attempt involving a Seattle resident, and why Democrats are screaming about "targeting" when conservatives are simply asking: where are the children and where did our tax dollars go? Is Washington next for a federal crackdown? What do you think—coincidence or coordinated fraud? Drop your thoughts below, and if you're tired of your tax dollars funding potential terrorism and welfare scams, hit that subscribe button and share this everywhere.

Jeffrey Epstein claimed that in the early hours of July 23, 2019, his cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione—an ex-cop then awaiting trial for multiple murders—tried to kill him. According to corrections officers' logs, Epstein was found in his cell in a fetal position, barely responsive, with orange fabric tied around his neck. He initially told officers he believed Tartaglione attacked him, alleging threats and pressure to pay up, fear of violence because of his charges, and that Tartaglione had been harassing him. But Epstein later retracted that claim, saying he couldn't remember exactly what happened.Investigations into the incident have raised doubts about what actually took place. The Metropolitan Correctional Center's video system either didn't capture the event or footage was missing. Jail staff and psychologists have considered several possibilities: that Epstein was assaulted, but also that the event could have been a suicide attempt—whether planned, practiced, or accidental—or something else altogether. The lack of clear evidence, conflicting statements from Epstein and Tartaglione, and mislaid video have all contributed to lingering questions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:The night Jeffrey Epstein claimed his cellmate tried to kill him - CBS News

Investigations continue following the death of 20-year-old Karen Lojore at Afrobeats artiste Asake's concert in Nairobi. Karen died following a crowd crush as fans tried to access the show. Concerns about safety and crowd control at large entertainment events have been raised. We hear from Karen's aunt as the family prepares to lay her to rest, and from a Kenyan journalist who was inside the venue and describes the moments as the situation escalated.Then, we turn to West Africa's end-of-year cultural phenomenon, Detty December. In Lagos and Accra, December is now synonymous with packed concerts and booming nightlife. But as the season grows more expensive, some locals are questioning who it's really for.

It's Wednesday, Christmas Eve, December 24th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by Jonathan Clark and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. Filling in for Adam McManus, I'm Ean Leppin. (Contact@eanvoiceit.com) Christians Arrested in Mass in China A large police force in China carried out mass arrests of Christians over the last two weeks. On December 13, over a thousand police officers, SWAT units, and anti-riot forces descended on Yayang Town in China's eastern province of Zhejiang. The operation led to the arrests of several hundreds of Christians. The arrests came after the local church known as “Yayang Assembly” opposed government intrusion into their practices. ChinaAid warned, “Amid tightening policies and information blockades, a campaign to purge faith communities may be unfolding in a more systematic and covert manner.” Belief in God Growing Among Finnish Youth Evangelical Focus reports a new survey found belief in God continues to grow among young people in Finland. The study evaluated young people in confirmation classes. Seventy-five percent of Finnish youth attend such classes. Sixty-seven percent of boys from this year's classes believe in the existence of God, up from 36 percent in 2019. Fifty-six percent of girls believe in God, up from 35 percent over the same time period. Jouko Porkka, Doctor of Theology, analyzed the research. He noted, “Today, boys in confirmation preparation are much more religious than girls. This has been the case for five years.” More Adults in the U.K. Attending Church this Christmas A new survey by Tearfund shows more adults in the U.K. are going to church this Christmas. The poll found 45 percent of U.K. adults plan on attending a church event this year, up from 40 percent last year. This church attendance is driven by younger generations. Gen Z is the largest generation to say they plan to attend church this Christmas. Psalm 122:1 says, “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the LORD!'” British Pro-Life Woman Charged for Praying Outside Abortion Mill Police in the U.K. charged a pro-life woman last week for praying silently outside an abortion mill. Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, Director of the March For Life UK, is the first person in Britain to face charges under the new abortion buffer zone law. A spokesman for the U.S. State Department spoke to The Telegraph about the case. The spokesman said, “The decision to prosecute a woman engaged in silent prayer is not only concerning in terms of its impact on respect for the fundamental freedoms of expression and religion or belief, but is also an unwelcome departure from the shared values that ought to underpin U.S.-U.K. relations.” Trump Administration Bans Abortions by the VA In the United States, the Trump administration banned the Department of Veterans Affairs from performing abortions last week. This reverses a Biden-era policy that allowed the VA to kill unborn babies of pregnant veterans. Josh Craddock is Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel at the U.S. Department of Justice. He wrote the memorandum opinion on the issue for the VA. He noted that existing law “unambiguously commands that VA may not provide abortions when furnishing medical care.” U.S. Economy Grows During Third Quarter The U.S. economy saw unexpected growth during the third quarter of this year. U.S. gross domestic product from July through September grew at an annual rate of 4.3 percent. That's up from 3.8 percent during the April-June quarter. It's also the fastest economic growth in two years. The growth was driven by consumer spending despite inflation remaining elevated. Record Number of Investigations, Censorships of Students in 2025 The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression reports a record number of campus incidents involving attempts to investigate, censor, or otherwise punish students for protected expression in 2025. It documented 273 efforts this year in which students and student groups were targeted for their constitutionally-protected expression. This breaks the previous record of 252 set back in 2020, the first year of the Students Under Fire database, during the unrest prompted by COVID-19 lockdowns and the murder of George Floyd. Researcher Logan Dougherty said, "These findings paint a campus culture in which student expression is increasingly policed and controversial ideas are not tolerated. College is supposed to be a place where ideas are freely shared, not where students should be concerned about whether their comments will be subject to university scrutiny.” Pew Research's Study on Americans' Childhood Religion And finally, Pew Research released a new study on Americans who leave their childhood religion. The study found 56 percent of U.S. adults still identify with their childhood religion. Thirty-five percent left their childhood religion, and 9 percent said they were never religious. Of those who left their childhood religion, 20 percent said they no longer have a religion. Ten percent said they switched religions, and three percent said they had no religion as a child, but now identify with a religion. The study found adults who were raised in highly religious households were very likely to remain in their childhood religion. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, December 24th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

A Trump directive, NSPM-7, reframes “anti-fascism” itself as a national security threat. Issued after the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the memo goes beyond condemning specific crimes. It collapses ideology, protest, and violence into a single category—casting beliefs labeled “anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian” as inherently suspect.

Crime Data Manipulation in Washington, D.C. Investigations by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the House Oversight Committee revealed that crime statistics were deliberately misclassified by the Metropolitan Police Department. The outgoing police chief, Pamela Smith, allegedly pressured commanders to report lower crime figures, downgrade serious offenses, and even retaliated against those who tried to report accurate data. These actions created a “culture of fear” within the department, undermining public trust. While the conduct did not lead to criminal charges, it raised serious concerns about transparency and governance. Fentanyl Classified as a Weapon of Mass Destruction Former President Trump signed an executive order categorizing fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, citing its catastrophic impact on American lives. The order frames fentanyl as a national security threat, aligning it with nuclear and chemical weapons, and authorizes expanded measures against drug cartels. This initiative is part of a broader military and policy campaign targeting narcotics trafficking, including naval operations and sanctions against Venezuela’s leadership accused of narco-terrorism.
