Episode 114 opens with a War Room clash: Rabbi Wallachie acknowledges that US and Israeli interests are diverging, but Ghost steps in to correct his claim that Hezbollah is simply the Iranian army, walking through its actual origins as a resistance movement. From there, Ghost breaks down a heated Bannon segment where Wallachie denies any Greater Israel expansion plan, a claim Ghost dismantles using Ben Gavir's own statements about expelling Lebanese civilians. At the G7 in France, Trump publicly criticizes Israel's conduct in Lebanon, suggests Syria's Jelani take over the Hezbollah fight, and reveals he was angry about the Beirut strike hours before the Iran deal was finalized. Ghost digs into the Strait of Hormuz numbers discrepancy between CENTCOM's leaked count and Bloomberg's tracker data, and explains why Trump is withholding the full 14 point memorandum until Friday. Putin and Trump's hour long birthday call gets coverage alongside Lukashenko's bombshell claim that the Vatican and Naftali Bennett deceived Putin into pulling back from Kyiv in 2022. The episode closes with Israel's political fallout: Lapid calling Netanyahu's handling an absolute failure, Smotrich and Katz refusing to be bound by the deal, and American Jewish leaders demanding the text be made public.

When 25‑year‑old grad student Jelani Day vanished in August 2021, his family's world stopped. Jelani was focused, joyful, and deeply loved — not someone who would simply disappear. But within days, his car was found hidden in the woods, and weeks later, his body was discovered miles away in the Illinois River under circumstances that still make no sense. In this episode, we break down the timeline, the unanswered questions, and the frustrations Jelani's family faced as they fought for urgency, transparency, and justice. What really happened to Jelani Day — and why does this case remain so painfully unresolved?

Jelani Millard is the founder of the Wapechi Collection, a travel-focused investment platform blending hospitality, real estate, and emerging tech ventures. With roots in finance, he's carved a unique lane exploring how travel really works—from boutique hotels in Ghana to "Pay Me in Plane Tickets." Susan and Jelani talk about unpacking travel's hidden truths through stories, systems, and sacrifices. What You'll Learn: How a Ghana hotel project turned into a community-powered success story What travel influencers aren't telling you about their lifestyles Why building a media brand takes patience before profit What separates forgettable content from truly resonant storytelling Why facts—not fluff—win in modern media How involving your audience sharpens your voice and vision Why travel media is shifting from "pretty pictures" to deeper truths Why hospitality storytelling needs more transparency and less gloss *** Our Top Three Takeaways 1. The "travel influencer dream" is far less glamorous than it looks. Behind the curated images is a reality defined by hustle, financial instability, and trade-offs. Many creators are making conscious sacrifices—like forgoing traditional milestones or relying on inconsistent income streams—to sustain that lifestyle, which is very different from the effortless image presented online.  2. The future of travel media is shifting from "where to go" to "why it exists." Jelani sees a growing appetite for deeper, more analytical storytelling that examines the history, economics, and power dynamics behind travel experiences. Instead of just highlighting beautiful destinations, the next wave of media will unpack questions like who benefits, who is excluded, and how these systems came to be.  3. Building a meaningful media brand requires patience, clarity, and truth. Jelani has intentionally delayed monetization to allow the platform to evolve organically and better understand its audience and identity. His core philosophy is to lead with facts, tell honest stories, involve the audience, and offer perspective or solutions, because that's what creates content that actually resonates and endures.  Jelani Millard on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jelani-m-8935a973/ Pay Me in Plane Tickets https://www.paymeinplanetickets.com/ Wapechi Collection https://www.wapechi.com/

Send us Fan MailA former NASA computer scientist who raps about forgiveness, peace, and the mind might sound like a contradiction until you hear how intentional it is. We sit down with Jelani Clay, JClay, a spiritual rapper and spiritual teacher, to unpack what “spiritual rap” actually means: conscious hip hop designed to land as repeatable affirmations, the kind your brain replays long after the track ends.We get into why music can raise your vibration on its own, and how lyrics change the effect completely when you sing or rap along. Jelani shares how his worldview shifted through A Course in Miracles, why he resonates with channelled teachings, and how perception can turn life into either a heavy illusion or a more loving experience. Along the way, we talk about the creative process as a form of inner listening, including walking, meditation, and even taekwondo as a surprisingly effective way to clear stuck energy.Jelani also opens up about his albums I Am Nobody, I Am Someone and It Just Feels Good, plus a powerful period of spiritual activation involving daily meditation, light codes, and recording light language. The thread running through everything is practical spirituality: noticing thought patterns, loosening guilt and grudges, and trusting intuition step by step even when fear and “logic” try to talk you out of it.If you're interested in spiritual rap, conscious music for healing, raising consciousness, or using affirmations to support mental health, this conversation offers a grounded place to start.

Rare diseases like renal medullary carcinoma demand earlier awareness, stronger advocacy, and faster specialist-driven care because delays can be deadly.In this episode, Tanisha Washington, the mother of Jelani Washington and a family advocate, shares her son's sudden diagnosis and passing from renal medullary carcinoma (RMC), a rare and highly aggressive kidney cancer strongly linked to sickle cell trait. She recounts his first symptoms, abdominal pain and severe blood in the urine, and how imaging revealed a kidney mass that set off a rapid and overwhelming medical journey.Tanisha describes the urgency of Jelani's treatment, which included kidney removal and intensive chemotherapy, and reflects on how little clinical familiarity exists with RMC. She highlights the critical role played by MD Anderson specialists and explains how limited research, scarce awareness, and delayed recognition worsen outcomes, particularly in Black communities.She also discusses warning signs families may dismiss, the importance of second opinions and self-advocacy, and the need for greater education about sickle cell trait–related risks. The episode closes with the family's creation of the Jelani Washington Seeds of Hope Foundation, which offers grief support and promotes healing initiatives centered on hope, remembrance, and growth.Tune in and learn how awareness, early detection, and insistence on care can save lives.ResourcesConnect with Tanisha Washington on LinkedIn here.Visit the Jelani Washington Seeds of Hope Foundation website.Learn more about Jelani's story in the news here.Watch Jelani's testimony video here.

Everyone thinks AI is the shortcut to better content.More posts.Better hooks.Faster growth.But if AI actually worked the way people think it does… everyone would be winning.In this episode of the Elite Coaching Cast, we're joined by Jelani Abdus-Salaam (@jelanifuel) founder of @bestofaidaily and @scriptkitai — to break down the real relationship between AI, content creation, and execution.Jelani works at the intersection of AI, media, and systems, helping creators and businesses understand how to use AI tools without losing their voice, discipline, or edge. And in this conversation, we cut straight through the hype.AI doesn't replace reps.AI doesn't replace discipline.AI doesn't replace clarity, voice, or execution.What it does do is expose the gaps.If you don't know how to show up consistently… AI won't fix that.If you don't know how to communicate clearly… AI won't fix that.If you're avoiding the work… AI just makes that more obvious.This episode isn't about chasing trends or “prompt hacks.”It's about using AI the right way — as a multiplier, not a crutch.

George and Neil are down on their luck, but fate swings a diabolical turn.Meanwhile, Lionel and Jelani try to make sense of the sighting of Dr. Jack Gilliard.

Jelani Vanholten didn't grow up wanting to work inside one of America's most dangerous jails—but life led him behind the walls of Rikers Island. After attending college and trying several career paths, he put on the correctional officer uniform and was assigned to one of Rikers' most feared units: The House of Pain.Inside those walls, respect wasn't given—it was earned. Jelani became known as a CO who treated inmates with firmness and fairness, earning credibility from both staff and prisoners. But the longer he stayed inside Rikers, the darker the job became. From daily violence and psychological battles to navigating gang politics and surviving high-tension housing units, Jelani saw the brutal reality of New York City's jail system up close. But everything changed when he felt his life was in danger—and the department didn't have his back. #RikersIsland #PrisonStories #FormerCO #LawEnforcementLife #PrisonGuard #InsideTheSystem #WhyIQuit #truecrimepodcast Connect with Jelani Vanholten: https://www.instagram.com/broadwaycasino?igsh=MXFxMDdjc3owZTl3OQ== 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 The Rikers “House of Pain” Unit Explained 00:38 Who Is Delani?

We hear about racism all the time in our neighborhoods, on the news, and on social media. But what does it actually look like to talk about race with our families, especially with kids? How do we help everyone understand each other, instead of shutting down or getting scared?W. Kamau Bell, a comedian and Emmy Award-winning host of CNN's United Shades of America, shares how race and identity have shaped his experiences, alongside the importance of understanding intersectionality across generations. Later in the episode, founder of A Kids Co. and author of A Kids Book About Racism Jelani Memory emphasizes that kids are ready for challenging, empowering, and important topics, and encourages parents and grownups to be honest when tackling those conversations.Key takeaways for parents:Kids can and do experience racism, regardless of their education about it. Start conversations about racism often to raise conscious kids, instead of ignoring the issue.Practice proactive conversations, especially when organic opportunities to do so are fewer.Invite different experiences and perspectives into your life, and approach them with curiosity to learn alongside your kids.⏱️ Timestamps:Keep the conversation going at home with our FREE Conversation Kit companion guide: https://delivery.shopifyapps.com/-/1fd4535ac87f7447/0d3bc39a64b1a1deFollow W.

“Nobody was the right person for the job … it just had to be me right now.” That's how Jelani Stowers breaks down the whirlwind journey of taking ownership of Pages Bookshop in Rosedale Park, a cultural anchor in Detroit. In this conversation with Khary Frazier, Jelani traces his family's roots—grandparents who migrated from Alabama and Virginia to Detroit for Wayne State, a father balancing electrician work with film, and a mother who shaped young lives as a preschool teacher. He talks about growing up in Rosedale Park, remembering the neighborhood-wide yard sales that felt like “Halloween with treasures,” and how early lessons at the African-centered Nsoma Institute taught him to respect Africa, compost waste, and even see Pac-Man through a philosophical lens. From coding internships to studying philosophy at Wayne State, Jelani connects gentrification, democracy, and Detroit's cultural resilience into a philosophy of action. The heart of this episode? How saving a bookstore became about more than books—it's about legacy, community continuity, and ensuring that Black Detroiters still have space to gather, learn, and dream in their own neighborhoods. If you care about Detroit's past struggles and its future possibilities, this is a conversation you need to sit with.
