Presidential historian and Ronald Reagan Institute Senior Fellow Tevi Troy is in for Jim today. Join Tevi and Greg as they break down the U.S. bombings of three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, the possible responses from Iran and the Trump administration's various comments about regime change, and the weird leftist condemnations of the strikes.First, they highlight the exceptional performance of the B-2 Bomber pilots, the lengthy and complex mission, and the airtight operational security, which may have been achieved by not telling any Democrats about the mission until after it happened. They also highlight how President Trump deftly pushed for a diplomatic solution, ramped up the tough talk, seemed to grant a two-week reprieve and then successfully surprises everyone with the timing of the strikes.Next, they contemplate what will come next - both from Iran and the United States. Will Iran close the Straits of Hormuz, focus on U.S. military bases in the region like today in Qatar, unleash sleeper cells in the U.S., or prioritize cyberterrorism? They also weigh in on Vice President Vance saying the U.S. does not have a goal of regime change in Iran while Trump openly suggests it on social media.Finally, they react to some of the most unhinged reactions to the bombings in Iran. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks Trump's actions are impeachable. Obama administration figure Tommy Vietor says any deadly response from Iran will be because we started it. And even the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office condemned the bombings.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

(March 27, 2025)Chris Merrill is in for Bill Handel while he is out on vacation. The Atlantic on Wednesday published a new article detailing purported information about recent American strikes in Yemen. Under current law, swatting threats are only considered to be a crime when they are made against an individual — not an institution, such as a school or hospital. Now, state legislators are backing new legislation to close that loophole. President Trump imposes a 25% tariff on cars and car parts that were imported into the United States. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department announced it plans to re-test about 4,000 DNA samples after learning the agency used testing kits over a roughly eight-month period that were found by the manufacturer to occasionally deliver incomplete results.

Gary and Shannon delve into the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's mishandling of DNA test kits, discuss the Trump administration's investigation into California's education policies on gender identity disclosures, and explore the extravagant wedding plans of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez.

John is joined by John Nadolenco, Managing Partner of Mayer Brown's Los Angeles office and Kelly Kramer, partner in Mayer Brown's Washington, D.C. office.  They discuss how John and Kelly won an eleven-year legal battle over the Bahia Emerald, the largest emerald in history.  The 789-pound gemstone was illegally mined in Bahia, Brazil and smuggled into the U.S.  The emerald first entered the U.S. in San Jose, California where the importers falsely declared it to be a piece of concrete with no value.  It later surfaced in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, was transported several more times, and was eventually seized in Las Vegas by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in 2014 when one party seeking to claim the emerald reported it stolen.  This led to an action in Los Angeles Superior Court to determine the rightful owner.  When news accounts of the action reached Brazil, the government contacted John and Kelly to intervene.  They worked with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) which filed a federal case in the District of Columbia invoking a little-known provision from the Patriot Act, which allowed the emerald to be frozen pending forfeiture.  Meanwhile, Brazilian courts convicted those who illegally mined and exported the gemstone and, after years of appeals, issued a final forfeiture order.  The DOJ then moved to enforce the Brazilian ruling, ultimately securing the emerald.  The emerald is now set to be repatriated and displayed in a museum in Rio de Janeiro, bringing an end to one of the most extraordinary asset recovery cases in modern history.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Interview with retired Los Angeles County Sheriff Homicide Detective Gil CarrilloYears of Service: 1971-2009Gil grew up in the 1970s in Los Angeles. As Gil explains, he was a lazy student who often hung around other young men who were going nowhere. At age 17, a police officer took an interest in Gil and recognized that if he didn't get out of his environment, he was going to end up in jail or possibly dead. The officer brought Gil home one day and told his parents that if they didn't sign Gil over to the military, they would probably lose their son.Gil joined the military, served in Vietnam, and, as he tells it, changed his life. He came home with a new attitude and three goals. To graduate from college, to become a police officer, and to get back at his ex-girlfriend, who had sent him a dear John letter while he had been in Vietnam.Gil joined the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department at age 21 and became a correctional deputy. He soon was on patrol and then worked in plain clothes investigating gangs. With just 9 ½ years on the job, Gil joined the Homicide Unit where worked for over 21 years.Gil is best known for being the co-lead on the Richard Ramirez “Night Stalker” case and, in this interview, discusses theories of the case that he had that no one else believed.Gil also talks about how he was approached by George Lopez to host a podcast and what that experience was like.

The archaic computer dispatch system for the nation's largest sheriff's department remained out of commission on January 2 after crashing on New Year's Eve, forcing deputies to handle all calls by radio, authorities said. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials first learned about the problem around 8 p.m. of December 31, when deputies at several sheriff's stations were unable to log in to the mobile computers in their patrol cars, the department said in a statement. The department said its computer-aided dispatch program—known as the CAD—was “not allowing personnel to log on with the new year, making the CAD inoperable.” “As a result, the Department is currently operating on self-dispatch while the issue is being addressed. Calls for service are still being responded to and are being manually tracked at the station level,” the statement said. Service remains uninterrupted and radio communications and 911 lines are fully operational, officials said. It wasn't clear what caused the problem or how long it would take to fix it. Department spokesperson Nicole Nishida said there was no indication the outage resulted from a malicious attack, describing it as a “technical issue.” The department has faced challenges with outdated technology for years. Since taking office in December 2022, Sheriff Robert Luna has “emphasized the urgent need to improve and upgrade our internal systems.” In mid-2023, the department formally requested proposals to acquire a new, centralized CAD system. Statements haven't said where the modernization effort stands. On January 1, ex-Sheriff Alex Villanueva posted on the social media site X a 2022 letter to the L.A. County Board of Supervisors requesting funding for a new computer-aided dispatch system. The letter said the existing system was so old it couldn't comply with data collection requirements.

The hosts of the left politics and film podcast Pod Casty For Me, Jake Serwin and Ian Rhine, return to Junk Filter for a supersized episode about Christian Gudegast's Den of Thieves films, starring the new King of January movies Gerard Butler in his greatest role as debauched cop Big Nick O'Brien of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The first Den of Thieves features a cat and mouse plot where Big Nick leads his team of dirty cops against a heist crew planning to rob the Federal Reserve in LA, using their informant Donnie played by O'Shea Jackson Jr., a film that had ardent defenders including the German director Christian Petzold who raised eyebrows when he placed it on his list of the best films of the decade. Coming seven years later, the sequel Pantera takes the story to Europe, where Big Nick tracks Donnie down in the French Riviera as he and his new European gang are planning a complex heist of the World Diamond Center, forcing his way into the crew. We discuss the evolution of the series, how the sequel doubles down on the Dudes Rock qualities of the first film, and reveals how smart this dumb guy series actually is, with all the things it has to say about gang culture in the LA Police, toxic masculinity, and the healing powers of a summer in Europe with your boys as Den of Thieves evolves into an actual action franchise. If the first one feels like a variation on Michael Mann, the second one evokes Rififi, Ronin, Tenet, Clint Eastwood's The 15:17 to Paris and most unexpectedly Richard Linklater's Before series. Plus: we discovered there are two cuts of Pantera in circulation and we discuss their differences. Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

The FBI has rekindled a decades-long manhunt for a serial arson suspect accused of operating a domestic "eco-terror" cell that lit off more than a half-dozen fires in the 1990s and early 2000s shortly after Los Angeles authorities announced the arrests of a pair of fake firefighters from Oregon – one of whom has a criminal history of arson. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department told Fox News Digital Sunday that Dustin Nehl, 31, and Jennifer Nehl, 44, were arrested after allegedly impersonating firefighters and driving into a restricted zone in a fake firetruck from a fake department. The FBI is offering $50,000 for information leading to the arrest of Josephine Sunshine Overaker, a suspected domestic terrorist accused of setting arson fires to spread an animal rights message alongside a group of fellow radicals. She, too, has been accused of posing as a firefighter.

Los Angeles County District Attorney and Sheriff talk to Dr. Phil about charges against looters and arsonists Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman talks to Dr. Phil about charging 10 individuals in four crimes committed during the devastating wildfires. Nine people are facing felony charges in connection to residential burglaries in the cities of Pacific Palisades and Altadena, and a separate defendant has been charged with arson for intentionally starting a fire in the city of Azusa. “These crimes are appalling and represent a direct attack on our community during a time of unprecedented loss and vulnerability,” District Attorney Hochman said. “Let me be clear: If you exploit this tragedy to prey on victims of these deadly fires, we will find you and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”  The felony charges were the result of a multi-agency collaboration that underscores the strength of local, state, and federal partnerships. Law enforcement agencies, including the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department; Los Angeles Police Department; Los Angeles County Fire Arson Unit; U.S. Attorney's Office; Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) collaborated closely with the District Attorney's Office to bring these suspects to justice. And Sheriff Robert Luna talks to Dr. Phil about his request for additional National Guard members to help his team. Looting and theft remain a top concern for the sheriff's department as well as online scams. Plus a man who says thanks to strangers his home in Altadena was saved.

August 30, 2013. Castaic, California. An overturned abandoned SUV belonging to 19-year old Bryce Laspisa is discovered at the bottom of a steep embankment near Castaic Lake, but even though most of his personal possessions have been left behind, Bryce himself is nowhere to be found. While beginning his sophomore year at Sierra College in Rocklin, Bryce had been displaying erratic behaviour and seemed to be experiencing issues with drugs and alcohol before he made the inexplicable decision to drive hundreds of miles away. During his trip, Bryce seemingly spent long periods of time just sitting inside his parked SUV, but even though he assured his parents he would eventually join them at their home in Laguna Niguel, he vanishes before he arrives. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the unsolved disappearance of Bryce Laspisa, who went missing under very bizarre circumstances.

A Devastating Loss in Los Angeles In 2016, Sergeant Steve Owen, a 29-year veteran of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, was murdered in cold blood while responding to a burglary call in Lancaster, California. This was no ordinary loss; Steve was known for his dedication, his compassion, and his leadership in the community. In a tragic series of events, a career criminal ambushed and executed him, shattering not only his family but also the entire community he had spent nearly three decades serving. Her Los Angeles Sheriff Husband Was Murdered. Retired Cop tells the story.  We covered her story in platforms like Medium and Newsbreak. On October 5, 2016, Steve responded to a burglary in progress, an ordinary call he had answered countless times before. But this time, he was ambushed. As Steve attempted to apprehend the suspect, the assailant shot him once in the head, then stood over his fallen body and fired four more rounds, ensuring there would be no chance of survival. Steve's partner, who arrived shortly after, attempted to save him and apprehend the assailant, but the suspect took Steve's patrol car, attempted a getaway, and later fled on foot, even taking two teenagers hostage before his eventual capture. Steve's murder left his colleagues and the community in mourning and robbed his family of a beloved husband, father, and friend.

On Sept. 16, 2009, 24-year-old Richardson was arrested at an oceanside Malibu restaurant and taken to Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station. With no money, no phone, and no ride, and in the midst of what was later described by law enforcement as a severe bipolar episode, Richardson was released by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. just after midnight, and disappeared into the night. Her whereabouts confounded authorities for nearly a year until her skeletonized and partially mummified remains were found on Aug. 9, 2010, up rugged Dark Canyon, some six miles away from the station.There was no sign of trauma to Mitrice's remains and the coroner could not determine the cause of death. But Mitrice's death was undoubtedly suspicious. Her bra, belt, and jeans were found some distance from her body; the rest of her clothing was never found. And investigators never recovered a tiny bone called the hyoid, which often breaks when a person is strangled.A tenacious reporter and gifted storyteller, Goodyear spent the past five years on the case, leading her and her co-reporter, Hayley Fox, to the secluded tight-knit mountain community of Monte Nido where Mitrice was last seen. Driven by conversations with Richardson's grieving friends and family and undeterred by the scant clues that have been picked through by dozens of previous investigations, LOST HILLS: Dark Canyon probes where others have not, including Richardson's never-before-seen personal journals, new eyewitness interviews, and new potential forensic evidence. In 12 gripping episodes, Goodyear painstakingly builds a case that Mitrice's death involved foul play—and she identifies a potential suspect.

But what is fact and what is fiction when it comes to this issue, and where does the 'defund' movement stand? In this episode, three journalists reporting from the frontlines on matters of policing and prisons share what they see on the ground, within police departments, and in the media. Cerise Castle is a Los Angeles-based reporter who created “A Tradition of Violence”, a podcast about gangs inside the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, based on an extensive investigation into more than five decades of terror, murder and abuse; Lewis Raven Wallace, of Durham, NC, is the author and creator of “The View from Somewhere”, a book and podcast about the problematic political history of journalistic objectivity, and the Abolition Journalism Fellow at Interrupting Criminalization, a multi movement resource hub for advocates, and Kelly Hayes is a Menominee author, organizer, educator and photographer from Chicago. She also hosts the Truthout podcast “Movement Memos" and is co-author (with Mariame Kaba) of the book “Let This Radicalize You”. What is the corporate media getting wrong about the defund movement? All that, plus a commentary from Laura.“I thought about my own vulnerability when doing this reporting. While I was still reporting my initial series on deputy gangs, I received several messages from people inside the department that they were in fear for my life . . . The repercussions have been very real for me, but it is not anything that would ever stop me from doing this work.” - Cerise Castle“When I look at what's happening in Palestine and I see the AI targeting that's being used to select targets for assassination at an inhuman pace, and when I look at the mass surveillance apparatus that Palestinian people are subjected to and most importantly the normalization of this mass annihilation of people, I see threats to all of us, things that we should all expect to be pervasive.” - Kelly Hayes“We have to some extent defunded the police here in the city of Durham and . . . moved money out of the police budget and into a whole new city department that is geared toward community safety through non-police responses . . . People can call an alternative number and have trained crisis responders show up . . . and come without police.” - Lewis Raven WallaceGuests:•. Cerise Castle: Journalist•.
