Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to take a deep dive into Donald Trump's relationship with food. From his legendary buffets at Mar-a-Lago and his fast-food devotion to McDonald's, Jimmy John's, and oversized desserts, Wolff maps out the culinary habits that reflect Trump's personality and comfort zones. They discuss the White House dining struggles, state dinners he barely touches, and the unusual quirks—from eating in his bedroom to a Diet Coke button at his desk. Along the way, Wolff unpacks how Trump's palate, fears, and routines give a window into his larger-than-life persona. Thanksgiving at Mar-a-Lago has never been more telling. Hosted on Acast.

At a Mar a Lago wedding for his friend Mike Wilkerson, President Trump suddenly walked into the reception, saw Eric, and told the bride and groom, “This is the guy who is going to get me into heaven.” The clip went ultra viral, and a wave of online critics accused Eric of failing to share the gospel in that moment. In this episode, Eric explains what really happened in the noisy, chaotic room, why he answered the way he did, and how the reaction exposed what he calls a growing Pharisee spirit and an idol of evangelism in the church. He also responds to a recent Tucker Carlson comment about Bonhoeffer and clarifies why Bonhoeffer acted as he did from a Christian ethical framework. Later, Eric talks with groom Mike Wilkerson about the wedding itself and then with Kevin McCullough about Christian Solidarity International and how viewers can help free real slaves in Sudan.Sponsors:Christian Solidarity International: https://csi-usa.org/metaxas/MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/ten Boom Coffee— Save 10% with code ERIC: https://tenboom.coffee/Legal Help Center - Get Free Legal Help Today: https://www.legalhelpcenter.com/⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro2:23 Trump Heaven Comment Explained22:29 Mike Wilkerson Joins Show25:21 Inside The Wedding Moment34:08 Kevin McCullough Joins Show

Bill Maher sits down with Lara Trump for a blunt, surprisingly open conversation that jumps from Trump the man vs. Trump the caricature to crypto, bank blacklisting, immigration raids, tariffs, Russia, and the myth vs. reality of how the economy actually works. With Secret Service in the room (and definitely pretending not to listen), Bill doesn't let her off the hook as they mix it up over influence peddling, media echo chambers, Thanksgiving political combat, woke snobbery, and MAGA tribalism. And somehow, through all the disagreements, they still crack up over Bill's leather-pants rant, his retired Trump bits, the Mar-a-Lago playlist, and the infamous orangutan lawsuit.

What if benefits work leaped from horse‑and‑buggy speed to highway pace? We sit down with Julian Lago, co‑founder and CEO of BenePower, to explore how AI is already compressing days of quoting, enrollment, and service into minutes—and what that means for brokers, HR leaders, and members who need clear answers right now.We dig into the practical side of agentic AI and retrieval‑augmented generation: how specialized models fetch plan rules, accumulators, and pending claims to answer real‑world questions like “what's left on my deductible?” with accuracy. Julian explains why virtual care is no longer just telemedicine, how ambient documentation can free clinicians to focus on patients, and why unified front‑door experiences beat a jumble of point solutions. Along the way, we talk about emotion AI that detects stress, switches languages seamlessly, and brings empathy to urgent moments—like getting an ID card to a parent driving to urgent care—without losing speed or precision.For employers, the conversation moves from tools to outcomes: steering to high‑value care, reducing surprise bills, and designing plans people actually use. For advisors, it's a playbook for differentiation—showing clients how to use data, automation, and hyper‑personalization to improve health and lower costs while keeping a human in the loop for sensitive decisions. We also address the hard edges: privacy, HIPAA alignment, model hallucinations, and emerging state regulations that set boundaries around clinical advice.If you're ready to trade legacy friction for clear, measurable gains, this episode lays out where to start, what to watch, and how to scale. Subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a review telling us which workflow you want AI to fix first.This episode is sponsored by Benepower, the platform of choice for a modern benefits experience.

This is a story about the dirty secrets of the most powerful people in the world—including Donald Trump.Based on exclusive interviews with intelligence officers in the CIA, FBI, and the KGB, thousands of pages of FBI investigations, police investigations, and news articles in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. American Kompromat shows that from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, kompromat was used in operations far more sinister than the public could ever imagine. The book addresses what may be the single most important unanswered question of the entire Trump era: Is Donald Trump a Russian asset? The answer, American Kompromat says, is yes, supporting that conclusion with the first richly detailed narrative on how the KGB allegedly first “spotted” Trump as a potential asset, how it cultivated him, arranged his first trip to Moscow, and pumped him full of KGB talking points. Among its many revelations, American Kompromat reports for the first time that: • According to former KGB major Yuri Shvets, Trump first did business over forty years ago with a Manhattan electronics store co-owned by a Soviet émigré, triggering protocols through which the Soviet spy agency began efforts to cultivate Trump as an asset, launching a decades-long “relationship” of mutual benefit to Russia and Trump, from real estate to real power. • Trump's 1987 invitation to Moscow was billed as a scouting trip for a hotel, but according to Shvets, was actually initiated by a high-level KGB official. These sorts of trips were usually arranged for "deep development." • Before Trump's first Moscow trip, he met with Natalia Dubinin, who worked at the United Nations library in a vital position usually reserved as a cover for KGB operatives. • In 1987, according to Shvets, the KGB circulated an internal cable hailing the successful execution of an active measure by a newly cultivated American asset who took out full-page ads in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe promoting policies promoted by the KGB. The ads had been taken out by Donald Trump, who, Shvets said, would become a “special unofficial contact” for the KGB.In addition to exploring Trump's ties to the KGB, American Kompromat also reveals: • How Jeffrey Epstein and Trump jostled for influence and financial supremacy for years. Epstein became a millionaire in part with the help of Ghislaine Maxwell's father—media tycoon Robert Maxwell, who allegedly served as a spy and likely gave Epstein a sum between $10 and $20 million before his death in 1991. • How the Epstein-Ghislaine Maxwell sex-trafficking operation provided a source and marketplace for sexual kompromat. • How the Epstein-Maxwell ring helped enable young women with possible ties to Russian intelligence to gain access to the highest levels of Silicon Valley and the worlds of artificial intelligence, supercomputers, and the internet. This, at a time when Vladimir Putin has asserted, “Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere [artificial intelligence] will become the ruler of the world.” • How John Mark Dougan, a former deputy sheriff in Mar-a-Lago's Palm Beach County, says he acquired 478 videos confiscated from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, fled to Moscow, became only the fourth American to win asylum in Russia, and immediately gained access to Putin's inner circle, showing the ongoing power that comes from kompromat and how its value is highest before it is “used.”https://amzn.to/4i4T3dKBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
There are those who ask why so many Americans speak Spanish. But according to the Latino media entrepreneur and historian Javier Marin, you might as well ask why so many Americans speak English. Over the last half century, the Hispanic community in America has risen from 3.5 to 62 million. In his new history of Latino media, Live From America, Marin charts how networks like Univision and Telemundo drove the meteoric rise of Hispanic America. This IS America, Marin insists - there are now 62 million Latinos shaping the country's politics, economy and culture. Rather than a demographic trend about some curious minority, it's the core reality of 21st century America.1. The US is now the world's second-largest Spanish-speaking country Only Mexico has more Spanish speakers than America. The US has surpassed Spain and Argentina. This isn't an immigrant enclave - it's a linguistic and cultural reality that's permanent and growing. As Marin puts it: “Even if you deport three million, we still have 57 million.”2. Univision and Telemundo are America's most powerful political engines - and they're not owned by Latinos These networks reach 60+ million people and absorb massive political advertising dollars from both parties. But Univision is controlled by private equity, Telemundo by NBC Universal. This creates a fundamental tension: are they serving their community or their shareholders? The Jorge Ramos ejection-to-Mar-a-Lago-interview arc tells you everything.3. “When you lose dignity, you lose your vote” Marin's thesis on why Democrats gained with Latino voters in recent elections despite Trump's 2024 inroads. The harsh treatment and “physical aggressiveness” of deportation policies cost Republicans votes. Dignity and political loyalty are directly linked. This matters more than economic messaging.4. Richard Nixon invented the word “Hispanic” - as a political strategy In 1969, Nixon commissioned a committee to encapsulate all Spanish speakers with one word to create a political constituency. Reagan embraced it further with Hispanic Heritage Month. The term “Hispanic” isn't organic - it's a government-corporate construct designed to make 60+ million diverse people politically legible and commercially targetable.5. Spanish-language media has always faced censorship and “English-only” movements From Theodore Roosevelt promoting English-only in the early 1900s to Desi Arnaz being censored on I Love Lucy, there's been consistent pressure to suppress Spanish. The FCC nearly cancelled Univision's predecessor over foreign ownership. The current anti-immigrant rhetoric isn't new - it's the same 100-year battle. The difference now: the numbers make it unwinnable.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

The past week has felt like history unfolding in real time as the legal battles surrounding Donald Trump reached new levels of intensity. On November 5, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a consolidated case officially captioned Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, et al. versus V.O.S. Selections, Inc., et al. The energy outside the Court that morning was electric—reporters crammed along the steps, protesters mixing with supporters, and everywhere the sense that the stakes were nothing short of monumental for American law and politics.Inside, Solicitor General D. John Sauer represented the federal government, with the private parties represented by Neal Katyal, and state officials argued by Oregon's Solicitor General Benjamin Gutman. The arguments themselves were brisk and sharp, with justices pressing all sides on technical legal points—but everyone knew that far more was at issue than the particularities of statutory interpretation or regulatory procedure. The docket has been moving at lightning speed since September when the writ of certiorari was granted and motions to expedite were quickly approved. The records from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Court of International Trade were all submitted electronically, ensuring nothing would delay decision-making heading into the final stretch of the year.Meanwhile, Trump's legal calendar continues to look like a maze of overlapping cases and critical deadlines, according to the tracker maintained by Just Security. The Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, which has already seen Judge Cannon dismiss the superseding indictment on the controversial ground of unlawful appointment and funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith, is now in the hands of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Briefs from both sides keep piling up, with government replies due in mid-November—not a moment for rest if you are in Trump's legal team or the Justice Department.Crucially, the Supreme Court has set aside time in the first week of November for argument on these cases, signaling just how urgent and consequential the Court considers them. This scheduling urgency means that Trump's fate in several high-profile matters could reverberate throughout the nation well before the next round of campaign events truly ramps up.In the background, courtroom drama continues elsewhere—New York and Georgia, among other jurisdictions, stay active with election interference and fraud cases. Trump's attorneys juggle appeals, motions for dismissal based on presidential immunity, and arguments about federal and state powers. Each proceeding brings new headlines and fuels around-the-clock coverage on every major network.As the Supreme Court weighs its decision and other appellate courts deliberate, the only certainty is more twists and more turbulence ahead. The legal world and political observers alike are bracing for impact as we wait for rulings that could define not just Donald Trump's future, but the shape of presidential powers and accountability for years to come.Thanks for tuning in.

The newly released congressional Epstein emails expose what many long suspected — that Donald Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein ran far deeper than either man ever admitted. Epstein claimed Trump spent hours with a trafficked girl at his home, while also mocking Trump's story about having kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago, saying he was never even a member. The emails also reveal journalist Michael Wolff advising Epstein to “let him hang himself” for PR leverage — a grotesque example of media cynicism turning child trafficking into strategy. Together, the correspondence paints a picture of a tight circle of elites swapping favors and spin while children were being abused, and suddenly the “lack of movement” on the Epstein files during the Trump years makes a whole lot more sense.And while these emails aren't a smoking gun in the legal sense, they are an absolute political and moral catastrophe for Trump. They show proximity, familiarity, casual comfort, and an ecosystem where Epstein felt safe bragging about him — which is damning on its own. What the emails really prove is why Trump has fought so hard to keep the Epstein files sealed forever. If just this little drip of correspondence is already setting off alarms, imagine what's buried in the full archives. The fear isn't about crimes being proved — the fear is about the public seeing the true extent of the relationship, the off-the-record interactions, the favors, the visits, the hours unaccounted for. The emails show why transparency has always been the enemy here: because sunlight would burn every last scrap of the mythology Trump built around his “distance” from Epstein. These aren't smoking guns — they're warning shots about how devastating the full truth would be.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

David Waldman drops us off on Friday, usually the calm center of Trump's chaos typhoon... It's Trump's "grand conspiracy", all right, although it depends on how you define "grand". Nevada's top court revives the state's fake electors case, anyone looking into anything Bill "Slimebag" Pulte does are sacked, while Eric Swalwell gets Pulte-ed and FBI Mis-Informant Alexander Smirnov slips out the back door. Ghislaine Maxwell gets the Perv-a-Lago 6 Star Diamond Deluxe Grande treatment, plus a puppy. Donald K. Trump vows to prosecute and imprison every single person connected to Jeffrey Epstein... give or take. MAGA accepts only two genders, yet sees pedophilia as an infinite spectrum, with Jeffrey and Matt Gaetz way over on the nicest possible end. AI-Generated ICE porn might actually be the worst porn one could make with Sora. Kai Trump proves that she's every bit the golfer grandpa is at the LPGA Tour's Annika tournament. She just doesn't have his caddy, though. Kristi Noem stars in an ad campaign with an "Avengers" budget… Or... is she just playing hide the salami with taxpayer money?
The court's apology to the Jeffrey Epstein survivors came as a long-overdue acknowledgment of how profoundly the justice system had failed them. In open court, federal judges conceded that the victims had been deliberately misled during the original 2008 non-prosecution deal—kept in the dark while prosecutors secretly negotiated Epstein's immunity and that of his co-conspirators. The apology recognized that these survivors were denied their rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act and that the system's betrayal compounded their trauma, allowing Epstein years of freedom to continue abusing others. While symbolic, the apology served as a public admission that the government's handling of the case was inexcusable, marking a rare moment of institutional accountability in a saga defined by corruption, influence, and silence.Meanwhile...Bruce Reinhart is a federal magistrate judge for the Southern District of Florida who became tied to the Jeffrey Epstein saga due to his career moves before taking the bench. Prior to becoming a judge, Reinhart served as an assistant U.S. attorney in the very office that was investigating Epstein during the 2006–2008 sex trafficking probe. In a move that raised serious ethical concerns, Reinhart abruptly resigned from the U.S. Attorney's Office in 2008—just as Epstein's sweetheart non-prosecution agreement was being finalized—and within days began representing several of Epstein's employees, including pilots and schedulers who were viewed as potential co-conspirators. That revolving-door transition, from prosecutor to defense lawyer for Epstein's inner circle, sparked outrage and remains one of the most glaring examples of the systemic coziness that surrounded Epstein's first case.Reinhart's actions were later cited in lawsuits accusing the Department of Justice of mishandling the Epstein investigation, with questions raised about conflicts of interest and whether his departure influenced prosecutorial leniency. Though Reinhart denied any wrongdoing, the optics were damaging—particularly as more details surfaced about how the 2008 non-prosecution deal effectively protected Epstein and his associates from serious federal charges. Years later, Reinhart reentered public controversy when he signed off on the search warrant for former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, bringing renewed attention to his past ties to the Epstein affair. His name has since become emblematic of the quiet backroom dealings and blurred ethical lines that defined the first Epstein investigation and the broader failure of justice that followed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the explosive release of newly uncovered Jeffrey Epstein emails, including messages referencing Donald Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell that raise fresh questions about what the former president knew and when. They analyze the media and political fallout, how these revelations intersect with ongoing legal scrutiny, and what Epstein's 2019 emails to journalist Michael Wolff reveal about his ties to Mar-a-Lago. Kander and Gupta also unpack the end of the government shutdown and whether Democrats “caved.” Plus, they dive into Trump's eyebrow-raising interview with Laura Ingraham on inflation, and the escalating MAGA civil war—Ben Shapiro feuding with Megyn Kelly, right-wing influencers accusing each other of betrayal, and prominent conservatives warning of a full-blown ideological collapse.

In breaking news, a Federal judge seems poised to disqualify Trump's hand-picked novice prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, as having been illegally appointed, calling the indictments of NYAG Tish James and Former FBI Dir. James Comey into question as well. Michael Popok explains how Judge Currie was not happy that 2 hours of Grand Jury transcripts are missing and cornered the Trump team several times, including questioning if the DOJ agreed with Judge Cannon's decision in Trump's favor in the Mar a Lago case about special attorney appointment, questioning how Pam Bondi could have “ratified” by back dating a document filed with the Court if there was no transcript of what Halligan did in the last 2 hours?

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 covers the end of the U.S. government shutdown, the latest batch of Jeffrey Epstein emails and the political storm they've reignited, the sharp drop in violent crime nationwide — and why some Democrats are furious about it — and Trump's renewed clash with his base over foreign labor visas. Government Shutdown Ends — For Now: President Trump signed the Senate's funding bill to reopen the government, but only through January. The bill includes a controversial clause allowing Senators to sue the federal government for the DOJ's "Arctic Frost" surveillance of lawmakers during the Biden years. As one senator put it, Democrats are now "angry it's over, angry it happened, and angry it might happen again." Bryan warns another shutdown is likely in early 2026. Epstein Emails and Media Spin: House Democrats released new Epstein emails suggesting Trump "knew about the girls," while Republicans countered with 20,000 additional messages showing he cut ties with Epstein and banned him from Mar-a-Lago. Bryan breaks down how selective framing by Democrats and the press is distorting what the evidence actually shows — and how Trump's own team mishandled the case politically. Crime Drops, Democrats Complain: Crime has plunged across cities like D.C., Memphis, and Chicago following Trump's deportation crackdowns. Yet some Democrats call the effort "fascist" and "racist," even as 911 calls and shootings fall sharply. Bryan argues the results prove the policy's success — and that "Democrats would rather be ideologically pure than keep their cities safe." Trump Defends H-1B Visas — Base Erupts: After telling Fox News that America "needs foreign talent" for advanced industries like battery manufacturing, Trump reignited a familiar rift with his MAGA base. Bryan explains how the H-1B program has become a loophole for cheap labor, warning that if Trump doesn't crack down, "his working-class supporters will stay home in 2026." "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: government shutdown Arctic Frost DOJ surveillance, Trump signs funding bill January, Jeffrey Epstein emails House Oversight, Trump Epstein Mar-a-Lago ban, U.S. violent crime drop deportations, Memphis Chicago ICE operations, Trump H-1B visa Fox News interview, foreign labor MAGA backlash

Today's Headlines: The government's still shut down—but hey, the Senate finally passed a funding package, which now heads to the House so they can, you know, maybe reopen the country. The deal only funds things until January and gives Democrats a pinky promise to hold a vote on extending Obamacare subsidies next month. Meanwhile, hidden inside the bill is a clause letting senators sue the government for $500,000 if their phone records were searched in the January 6th probe. There's also a proposal to recriminalize THC and hemp-derived products, which would basically nuke a $30 billion industry overnight. The Supreme Court just extended the Trump administration's ability to block SNAP payments through Thursday, so… no rush on feeding people. Elsewhere, the House is finally about to have enough signatures to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files once Adelita Grijalva finally gets sworn in today. But don't get too excited—it probably won't happen until December, if ever. Trump, meanwhile, is asking the Supreme Court to toss out the $5 million he owes E. Jean Carroll, and one of his pardoned Jan. 6 guys just got re-arrested for kidnapping and sexual assault. So that's going great. Overseas, the BBC is melting down after an independent report found major bias issues and a Hamas-adjacent narrator situation. Two execs have already resigned, and Trump's threatening to sue them for $1 billion because a documentary made him look bad (like, worse than usual). And in D.C., plastic surgeons say “Mar-a-Lago face” is the latest cosmetic trend—apparently, looking filler-blind is in.

Who owns the future of the Democratic Party? That's the question on everyone's mind since last Tuesday night—when the richest city in America elected 34-year-old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as its mayor. You can see Mamdani's win as a one-off—a charismatic contender facing a rival mired in controversy. But the other way to see it is as emblematic of something larger: a sign about the state—and future—of the left. Here was a candidate promising to solve the affordability crisis with free childcare, free buses, rent freezes, and even government-run grocery stores. And despite the socialist bent, most establishment Democrats fell in line to support him—from Kathy Hochul and Hakeem Jeffries to Barack Obama, who reportedly called Mamdani to offer himself as a sounding board. If that's true—if Mamdani is the new standard-bearer for Democrats in the way Obama once was—then where does that leave someone like Senator John Fetterman? The Pennsylvania senator didn't just withhold his endorsement—he went so far as to say that socialism is not the future of the Democratic Party. It's an interesting stance, given that just a few years ago, Fetterman ran a progressive Senate campaign focused on reforming criminal justice, legalizing marijuana, and raising the minimum wage. He was backed by AOC and Bernie Sanders. The right even called him a “silver-spoon socialist.” Then came his near-fatal stroke on the day of his Democratic primary—followed by calls from both sides to drop out. Instead, he stayed in the race and won, flipping a GOP Senate seat. Since coming to Congress, Fetterman has stood out—and not just because he's six-foot-eight. He's shown strong support for Israel, a departure from many in his party. He's said Democrats mishandled border security under Biden. He praised the president for his peace deal in Gaza—and even met with him in Mar-a-Lago. He's also publicly blamed Democrats for the government shutdown, saying: “I follow country, then party.” He refused to “play chicken with the food security of 42 million Americans,” and voted 15 times with Republicans to reopen Washington. On Sunday night, the Senate finally voted to reopen the governement—but only after 40 days of missed paychecks, travel chaos, and millions at risk of losing SNAP benefits. It was just the latest litmus test for Democrats, highlighting the divide between the centrists and the progressives—between, for lack of better words, the Fetterman wing and the Mamdani wing. And now, Democrats may have to decide which impulse to run on—in 2026, and in 2028.Today, Bari asks John Fetterman about his decision to speak out against his own party; his recent dinner with Donald Trump—and the backlash that followed; the shutdown and whether he believes the Democratic Party is heading in the right direction; and finally, his new book Unfettered, which chronicles his journey to the Senate, his stroke, his battle with depression, and his time in office.

They talk weaponized investigations into Adam Schiff, the media's selective silence on Trump's health, and a Gilded Age cosplay at Mar-a-Lago while SNAP recipients twist in the wind. Also on the docket: 50-year mortgages that turn homeownership into a lifetime sentence and the trillion-dollar vibes coming from Musk's payday. It's shutdown brinkmanship, reality distortion, and class-war optics, all wrapped in one grim spectacle.

What is Brazil trying to achieve with COP30? It's Day Two in Belém and all eyes are on the host nation. Join Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac as they unpack how the country is shaping the first days of COP30 - and the quiet strategy behind Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago's leadership. With the release of the Call of Belém for the Climate, they explore what may be a masterstroke of multilateral diplomacy. And friend of the show Thais Bilenky joins us to break down how the early days of the summit are playing out in Brazilian media and on the streets of Belém.With the support of the Arapyaú Institute, this episode also turns the spotlight on Brazil's own climate progress. How is a nation, standing at the bridge between the Global North and the emerging Global Majority, using this moment of global attention to tell a new story: one defined by solutions, not sacrifice? We hear from Renata Piazzon, Director General of Arapyaú, whose mission is to reframe Brazil's climate story - showing the opportunity that lies in regeneration, restoration, and a thriving social bioeconomy. And Marina Silva, Brazil's Minister for the Environment and Climate Change, joins Christiana to share her call for an Ethical Global Stocktake - a reminder that sustainability is not only a way of doing, but a way of being.Learn more:
The very online crowd is very upset, but Dems did fight like Republicans. This was a longer shutdown than anything the Tea Party pulled and real pain was being caused. And Democrats have now made the cost of healthcare front and center—while Republicans keep showing that they are the party of billionaires, Mar-a-Lago soirées, and golden ballrooms. Plus, President Al Capone pardoned all the people who tried to help him steal the 2020 election, pro-democracy Americans must stay united against the evil of the administration's deportation policy, and the effort to keep POTUS in a bubble backfired big time Sunday night at the Commanders' stadium.

COP30 is here! Day one dawns in the Amazon, and all eyes are on the host nation - and on the man tasked with steering the talks.On the eve of what could be the most consequential COP since Paris, Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac sat down with Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago, Brazil's COP30 President, for an inside look at his priorities: the tone he hopes to set and the outcomes he hopes to see for this pivotal summit.How does he view the difference between negotiation and implementation? How can leaders sustain confidence in progress when some countries aren't even in the room? And what will it take to restore faith that this process can still deliver?The science is unsparing: the 1.5°C limit is no longer a distant prospect but a fast-approaching threshold. Meanwhile, the geopolitical framework on which multilateral cooperation depends is under strain. Against this backdrop, Ambassador Corrêa do Lago faces an unenviable task: to steer a divided world toward unity, and to turn ambition into action on the banks of the Amazon. Can he do it?Learn more:Listen to our episode, Inside COP: How to Build a COP
by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles LearBrazilian UFO cases have aspects to them that, while not unheard of in other countries, come up over and over again giving them a commonality that is unique to Brazil. Lost time, traveling long distances in trucks and cars in far less time and using far less fuel than it should take, humanoid encounters, and injuries are a few of these. A case from 1980 has all of these aspects except injury, and it is described in the cover story of the March 1982 APRO Bulletin.According to the article headlined “1980 Brazilian Abduction,” the case came to light “during the question and answer period following a UFO lecture by APRO's Brazilian Representative, Mrs. Irene Granchi.” Granchi later interviewed the people involved, Elias Seixas de Matos, 38; Guaraci Fernandes de Sousa, 47; and Alberto Seixas Vierra, 26. Granchi later wrote about the case in an article (link to original article broken at this time) published in the April 1995 issue of UFO Magazine. There, she says she was lecturing about the work of Rio de Janeiro-based “hypnologist,” Dr. Silvio Lago. According to her, the three men were introduced to her, and it was explained that they wanted to meet Lago as they all seemed to have experienced partial amnesia and couldn't recall long stretches of time during a delivery run in a truck.

Virginia Giuffre's memoir, “Nobody's Girl,” is again shining a light on justice for the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.The Department of Justice says Epstein died by suicide in his jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. Over the summer, she was moved to a minimum security prison in Texas after meeting privately with Trump administration officials.In the book, Giuffre recounts how she was lured into Epstein's world after meeting Maxwell at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago spa at the age of 16. She was then subjected to years of abuse where she was sex trafficked, including to England's former Prince Andrew, whose title was revoked last week in part due to these allegations.Giuffre took her own life earlier this year. Even before her memoir was released posthumously, she was one of Epstein's most outspoken accusers. We sit down with Giuffre's brother and sister-in-law about her story and their call for justice. We also speak with Marijke Chartouni, another Epstein survivor who says she was recruited in 2000 and was sexually assaulted by Epstein.Find more of our programs online.
