Their heartfelt journey highlights the challenges and triumphs of fostering self-reliance, revealing the deep love between father and son—and the courage it takes to let go.

Discussion and debate about the 2025 Eclipse Awards are featured on the first 2026 episode of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. Sara Elbadwi of Fox Sports and the New York Racing Association, Steve Kornacki of NBC News and Sports, Jessica Paquette from Parx and two-time Eclipse Award-winning writer John Scheinman from Baltimore get together in a panel discussion going in-depth on every championship category. Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes winner Sovereignty may be the leading candidate for horse of the year, but did Breeders' Cup Classic victor Forever Young do enough in his one U.S. appearance to change voters' minds? The panel talks about that possibility and the potential backlash against connections for holding Sovereignty out of the Preakness Stakes. There are plenty of clashing opinions and even a discussion about contentious abstentions from the votes for the steeplechase horse and apprentice jockey. Co-hosts John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times and Keith Nelson of Fairmount Park also weigh in with their overarching views of the Eclipse Awards, including ideas on how they ought to be changed. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available via free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com.
After we filmed the podcast - the media started reporting on all the cancellations at the Kennedy Center. We then got “friendly inquiries” from CNN and The Washington Post asking if we were cancelling. This is designed to intimidate us and our cast and crew. It's like the mafia expressing concern for that nice restaurant - it would be a shame if something happened to it. They want us to buckle under the pressure. We will NOT.Below is our statement on the cancellation attempt. The OCTOBER 7 play will absolutely be on stage on January 28th.Good riddance to these taxpayer-funded cosplaying rebels. They seem to think producing art is about them feeling comfortable and cozy. Artists should always go where they feel uncomfortable, even unwanted—if they want to change the world, that's where they should be, instead of speaking into their taxpayer-funded echo chamber.These performative walkouts are for their friends and funders—they don't care about the wider audience or creating new audiences. And they wonder why so many theaters are struggling?Even their friends are bored with the woke, clichéd, and hectoring art they are producing. "Doug Varone and Dancers," the New York dance company, said their walkout was "morally exhilarating."That's very telling.They create to make themselves feel better, not the audience.We create to bring the truth to the audience. Good to see these woke “artists” leave the stage. It leaves more stage time for the rest of us who want to produce genuine art.We are already thinking about future events at the Kennedy Center.Phelim McAleer & Ann McElhinneyJust to remind everyone about what we are planning for the Kennedy Center.We are taking OCTOBER 7, our verbatim play, to the venue on January 28. The play will be in the beautiful Terrace Theater. We went to Israel after the October 7 massacres and interviewed survivors, the bereaved and heroes who fought back. We turned their testimony into the play that has been performed across the country from Off-Broadway in New York to the UCLA campus in Los Angeles. It has also been performed on several other college campuses - places that really need to hear the truth. The performance at the Kennedy Center will be intimate, raw, and unforgettable. Please watch the podcast to hear the full story - you can also get tickets at the link below. I really want to see you there. The New York Post said OCTOBER 7 was "Spellbinding..powerful and a sanctuary for truth. It breathes life into characters that will hopefully inspire people…When you can put yourself in the shoes of what these people went through, that's what creates empathy. That's very important ... right now in this country, regardless of your politics." So please come see the play. If you can't come to DC you can donate to fight the bullies and censors at the link below. And while the mainstream media is obsessing over the fake genocide in Gaza, 7,000 Christians were slaughtered by Islamist radicals in Nigeria in the first eight months of this year. However the mainstream media is pretending that they are being killed in a land war caused by climate change. This week we interviewed Brian Orme, the CEO of Global Christian Relief. He has been to Nigeria and has a team working to aid displaced, persecuted Christians, terrorized by radical muslims.Watch the scoop to hear what's really going on!And the Los Angeles Times shocked us, as they actually did their jobs and reported actual news on the true cause of the deadly Palisades fire and how the city administration tried to cover it up. Watch the scoop to see our coverage of the Palisades wreckage.
We’re bringing you something special this week in place of our usual daily show. Every day, we are making one of the stories that listeners loved this year free for everyone.

About Dr. Glenn Livington: Dr Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and longtime CEO of a multi-million-dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Doctor Glenn's work, theories, and research have been published in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and The Chicago Sun Times. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Doctor Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food. Show Notes: If food feels like it has power over you — whether that means occasional overeating, persistent cravings, or feeling stuck in a cycle of "starting tomorrow" — this episode offers a radically different and compassionate approach. In this powerful conversation, Glenn Livingston, psychologist and author of Defeat Your Cravings, explains why willpower is not the solution to food struggles — and how lasting freedom comes from learning to quiet the brain's emergency response around food. Dr. Glenn shares how cravings are rooted in the nervous system, why deprivation backfires, and how nourishing your body properly allows the rational brain to regain control. Together, we explore the science behind cravings, binge urges, and emotional eating — including the concept of the cravings extinction curve, why cravings intensify before they disappear, and how self-care, sleep, and nutrition play a critical role in calming the brain. This episode offers hope, clarity, and practical tools for anyone who wants peace with food — without dieting, restriction, or shame. ✨ What You'll Learn · Why willpower fails — and what works instead · How cravings are driven by the fight-or-flight nervous system · The science of the cravings extinction curve · Why nourishing your body reduces binge urges · How sleep, stress, and decision fatigue impact cravings · How to stop "starting tomorrow" and work with the present moment · Why extreme diets make cravings worse, not better · How to regain calm, control, and choice around food
You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 23, 2025. 0:30 We react to a 6–3 Supreme Court ruling blocking the president from deploying the National Guard to protect federal officers and property in Chicago — at least for now. We dig into the shadow docket ruling, sharp dissents from Justices Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch, and what this means for sanctuary cities nationwide. Is this a narrow procedural pause, or a dangerous precedent that weakens federal authority? This decision raises serious questions about executive power, immigration enforcement, and whether the Constitution now bends to sanctuary politics. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US economy grew at an impressive 4.3% in the third quarter of this year according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. President Trump is tripling the self-deportation bonus for illegal immigrants through the end of the year. Former Republican Senator Ben Sasse announced he has pancreatic cancer. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 A controversial ICE holiday stunt ignites debate with an AI video depicting a muscular, tactical Santa Claus as an ICE officer. We break down ICE’s nationwide enforcement push, including a $3,000 self-deportation incentive and paid airfare for illegal immigrants — and ask whether using Santa Claus crosses a cultural line. While acknowledging the legality of enforcement and self-deportation efforts, we question the optics, the use of AI over real artists, and the impact on children who associate Santa with Christmas, not immigration raids. Is this tough-but-fair messaging, or a step too far that politicizes a holiday icon? 16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson how they are celebrating Christmas this year. A heartfelt Christmas conversation with the American Mamas turns reflective as traditions, faith, and culture collide. From decorating habits and post-Christmas takedowns to honoring family traditions like a beloved Christmas soup party, the discussion quickly moves beyond schedules and decorations. We dive into growing nostalgia for “old-fashioned” Christmas, concerns about cultural and spiritual erosion, and a shared sense that faith itself is under pressure. As fewer Americans attend church but still celebrate Christmas, the Mamas explore whether a spiritual awakening is underway — and why more people are speaking openly about Christian values again. It’s a timely, emotional look at Christmas not just as a holiday, but as a cultural and spiritual battleground. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 A bombshell claim out of Fulton County, Georgia is raising fresh questions about the integrity of the 2020 election — and why the story isn’t getting more attention. County officials have admitted that more than 315,000 ballots were counted without legally required signatures, despite Georgia law mandating them. With the presidential race in Georgia decided by roughly 11,000 votes and Fulton County overwhelmingly favoring Joe Biden, the numbers alone demand serious scrutiny. We compare this revelation to similar disputes in Pennsylvania and Arizona, question past Supreme Court rulings on standing, and contend that if the political roles were reversed, the media response would be deafening. Instead, the story is being buried because it challenges an outcome that was already deemed settled. 26:30 Early 2028 presidential buzz is already heating up, and a new straw poll is sending a clear message about where conservative voters are leaning. At Turning Point USA, JD Vance didn’t just win — he dominated, pulling in an overwhelming share of the vote and leaving every other potential contender in the dust. The margin was so lopsided it raised eyebrows even among seasoned political watchers, especially this far out from an election. We Dig Deep into what that landslide says about the future of the Republican Party, Donald Trump’s continued influence, and why candidates who don’t align with an America First tone may be effectively shut out. On the Democrat side, the picture looks far less settled, with shaky polling, internal contradictions, and big-name contenders facing tough questions about leadership, competence, and vision. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 A rare dose of real accountability out of California? A new Los Angeles Times investigation is raising serious questions about how the Los Angeles Fire Department handled — and then quietly rewrote — its own after-action report following the devastating Palisades fire. According to the report, key details that reflected poorly on leadership and preparedness were stripped out, softened, or renamed before the public ever saw them. 36:00 We have a Bright Spot coming out of California and it's a major win for parents' rights and common sense. A court has struck down a controversial state policy that allowed teachers and school administrators to socially transition students at school — including changing names and pronouns — without informing parents. The ruling came after two California teachers, joined by parents and the Thomas More Society, sued the state, arguing the policy violated both their religious convictions and long-standing parental authority. 40:00 Just days before Christmas, the Trump administration is moving aggressively to crack down on fraudulent asylum claims — and it’s sending shockwaves through the immigration system. ICE attorneys are now filing motions to dismiss thousands of pending asylum cases without hearings, following a new directive that forces immigration judges to rule on third-country eligibility before asylum claims are even heard. The burden has officially shifted to asylum seekers to prove their claims are legitimate, a major change after years of overwhelming evidence showing most claims lacked merit. With as many as 85–95% of asylum applications previously found to be bogus, the administration is zeroing in on cases from countries like Iran, Nicaragua, and Russia. 41:30 And we finish off with the first White House Christmas.

Over the holidays, we're rebroadcasting some of our favorite interviews from 2025. President Donald Trump this summer set off an unusual mid-decade redistricting scramble after he asked Republican-led states to redraw their congressional districts to give the GOP more seats in Congress. California Democrats responded with their own new map, which voters approved through Proposition 50 in November. Scott and Marisa discuss the history of gerrymandering with Los Angeles Times writer James Rainey, taking us back to an earlier era when it was a regular part of California's political landscape.

Plus d'1,6 million d'adolescentes accouchent chaque année en Amérique latine, une toutes les 20 secondes. L'Équateur est durement touché par ce phénomène, avec 88 accouchements de mineures par jour. La vice-présidente María José Pinto a demandé au président Noboa d'être chargée de réduire le phénomène des grossesses chez les jeunes filles et les adolescentes. La jeune Afroéquatorienne Susana Sánchez a eu sa fille à 16 ans et son fils peu après. Elle vit aujourd'hui tranquillement à Nuevo Rocafuerte, mais n'oublie pas une enfance difficile après la mort de sa mère. “J'avais 15 ans quand j'ai connu le père de ma fille. C'était une porte de sortie", explique-t-elle. Ce schéma se répète dans les régions d'Amazonie. “Les chiffres sont terrifiants. 4 gamines entre 10 et 14 ans accouchent chaque jour en Équateur et 84 adolescentes entre 14 et 19 ans”, s'inquiète la vice-présidente María José Pinto. C'est le reportage de notre correspondant en Équateur, Eric Samson, dans la région amazonienne de Nuevo Rocafuerte, tout près de la frontière péruvienne. Au Mexique, l'essor de la lucha extrema Au Mexique, berceau de la lucha libre, sorte de catch théâtral et particulièrement apprécié des Mexicains, une nouvelle déclinaison de ce sport est apparue dans les zones défavorisées des alentours de Mexico, la lucha extrema, une forme ultraviolente de lucha libre, où la traditionnelle « fausse » bagarre est remplacée par de vrais coups. Plus le sang coule, plus le spectacle est réussi. Un reportage de Marine Lebègue, correspondante de RFI à Mexico. Nicolás Maduro libère 99 prisonniers vénézuéliens Au Venezuela, 99 personnes emprisonnées après la présidentielle de 2024 ont été libérées. Le média vénézuélien d'opposition El Nacional publie sur son site la liste des prisonniers libérés déjà identifiés : il en compte 33. Parmi eux, des hommes, des femmes et des adolescents. Le quotidien colombien El Espectador rappelle le contexte de leur incarcération : leur lien présumé avec les manifestations de 2024. Après la réélection controversée de Nicolás Maduro, les opposants au président réélu évoquaient des fraudes. À ce moment-là, plus de 2400 personnes avaient été arrêtées par le régime. De nombreux médias font le lien entre ces libérations et les tensions avec les États-Unis. L'édition sud-américaine du quotidien El Pais souligne "un geste calculé du régime pour alléger la pression, sans pour autant manifester de faiblesse ni de magnanimité excessive". Le média nuance donc l'ampleur de ces libérations et rappelle que près de 1000 prisonniers vénézuéliens sont toujours incarcérés. El Pais l'assure, cette annonce n'est pas le signe d'une politique de détente avec l'opposition. C'est même le contraire, "la pression de Washington fournit au gouvernement Maduro des arguments supplémentaires pour radicaliser sa politique de répression des opposants". Frappes de Washington contre l'État islamique au Nigéria Le New York Times rappelle qu'en novembre dernier, le président américain avait déjà menacé l'organisation terroriste de frappes si elle ne cessait pas les attaques sur les chrétiens nigérians. Donald Trump n'avait alors pas précisé à quelles attaques il faisait référence, selon le quotidien new-yorkais. Le média AXIOS, lui, revient sur les violences au Nigéria, le pays le plus peuplé d'Afrique où plus de 12 000 personnes ont été tuées par divers groupes cette année. Le média en ligne POLITICO rappelle que le Nigeria a déjà déclaré que les chrétiens n'étaient pas persécutés dans le pays et cite un chercheur de l'Institut d'études de sécurité Afrique : « La crise est bien plus complexe qu'une simple analyse religieuse ne le laisse entendre. » En Californie, des fêtes de Noël cauchemardesques La Californie, déjà marquée par des incendies, des pluies et des vents forts ces derniers mois, est touchée depuis quelques jours par des pluies torrentielles. Signe de la gravité de l'évènement, l'état d'urgence a été décrété par le gouverneur Gavin Newsom. Une image dans le Los Angeles Times permet de comprendre l'ampleur des pluies. On y voit Misty Cheng, une comptable de 49 ans dans sa cuisine à Wrightwood, au nord de Los Angeles. Le regard triste, elle se tient accroupie sur une gigantesque coulée de boue, qui a envahi sa maison, une maison qu'elle était en train de rénover. L'intérieur est complètement recouvert par un amas de pierres et de terre, on voit à peine sa gazinière, le dossier d'une chaise dépasse des débris. La faute à un glissement de terrain qui s'est produit le 24 décembre dans une zone déjà ravagée par des incendies au début de l'année 2025. Le Los Angeles Times rappelle le bilan de la semaine : trois personnes sont mortes dans les inondations et les glissements de terrain en Californie. En Haïti, les marchés de Noël ont fait carton plein. Ayibopost revient sur les évènements qui se sont tenus cette année aux Gonaïves, au Cap-Haïtien et à Anse-à-Pitre. Des marchés qui ont réuni des centaines d'exposants, d'artisans locaux et qui ont attiré beaucoup de visiteurs. Ils étaient plus de 15 000 aux Gonaïves. Le média haïtien rappelle que les artisans rencontrent de plus en plus de difficultés à vendre leurs produits en raison de l'absence quasi totale de touristes étrangers. Dans ce contexte, les marchés de Noël offrent un espace qui permet de renouer avec un public local et, selon les organisateurs, de susciter chez les jeunes Haïtiens l'envie de se lancer dans l'entrepreneuriat.

By David Stephen What is the difference between any tool ever made or used by humans and artificial intelligence? What is the category among tools, that AI places? Humans have tools for transport, water, food, learning, shelter, clothing and so forth, but where does AI fit among these? Is Human Intelligence Obsolete? Neurosymbolic AI If AI is a tool to augment or assist human intelligence, is that comparable to [say] tools for transport because human motion is limited? Since the limitation is universal and all human endeavors do not involve efficient locomotion, whenever transportation tools advance, they rarely threaten jobs or survival at scale. Also, they are not absolutely automated or likely to self-improve. So, as machine transports soared beyond humans, they remained a capped tool. This is similar for several other kinds of tools, across eras. However, there is something quite misplaced with referring to artificial intelligence as a tool. Yes, it appears like what is under human control, especially because it is operated digitally, which is a click - or touch - user interface, that follows human control. But, everything to compare AI with, as a tool, never seems equal, including basic software. AI is also aiming at an efficiency benchmark at the level of valuable human intelligence. While it is true that human intelligence is special, it is subject to the laws of economics, especially demand, supply, price and value. The highest paying jobs, even where they are not connected directly with intelligence have something to do with high demand and low supply. And the possibilities for the highest value, in an era of capitalism, have something to do with business intelligence. AI is now at maturation of all human process knowledge - at least those in public domain. It can describe what it has not experienced. It can teach what it did not try. It can advise about where it has not been and cannot go. It now knows more than any human is capable. Among humans, one of the worst-case scenarios in a situation is to have a person play dumb, who isn't, up to the point of losing out. Another nightmare scenario is to have another human understand and decipher everything in a language or code, which is assumed by others that the individual cannot. AI does not have agency, it is often said. But how much should that 'fact' be relied on, given that it has thorough access to the basis of human knowledge, in language? AI is also sophisticated enough at this stage to be dangerous, either in the hands of a vengeful individual or when it gets some agency. AI is not just knowledgeable for work, but also intelligent enough to communicate and drive human feelings and emotions, where it can divert the need for another human. The risk, as it evolves is that emotions that should strengthen empathy [in reality] may not, resulting in emotion-less humans. This is a risk for caution and consequences as the basis for rules and law adherence in human society. The biggest problem of AI for now, is that as it improves there is nothing to tether human intelligence for improvement. There is no effort on anything about human intelligence, independent of any device or even AI. It is already AI-centered human intelligence. There is no human intelligence research lab anywhere on earth. OpenAI released GPT-5.2 in response to Google's Gemini 3. None of them decided that human intelligence might be the next step for good. Some people are saying large language models [LLMs] would never become artificial general intelligence [AGI] so there should be world models, spatial intelligence, neurosymbolic AI, neuromorphic AI and so forth, but all those do not count for what matters to human intelligence. There is talk about AI bubble and whether the stock market would withstand an AI crash. The crash, of human intelligence, that is about to sack organizations and nations, is worse than any AI recession. There is a recent analysis in The Los Angeles Times, They graduated fro...

At the turn of the 20th century, millions of Americans, including elite scientists, major newspapers, and cultural icons, were convinced that Mars was home to an advanced civilization. In this episode, Michael Shermer speaks with award-winning science journalist David Baron about one of the most astonishing episodes in scientific-cultural history. Blurry telescopes, mistranslated words, and persuasive personalities transformed speculation into accepted fact, while more cautious scientists struggled to be heard. The discussion covers Percival Lowell's Martian canals, Nikola Tesla's claim to have detected signals from another planet, and the role of mass media and early science fiction in fueling public belief. The episode also connects this forgotten moment to present-day debates about UFOs, alien megastructures, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, raising broader questions about how scientific ideas spread and why some claims capture the public imagination. David Baron is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster, and author. A former science correspondent for NPR, he has also written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, Scientific American, and other publications. David recently served as the Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology, Exploration, and Scientific Innovation. His new book is The Martians: The True Story of an Alien Craze that Captured Turn-of-the-Century America.
Nick Reiner, 32 year old son of Hollywood director Rob Reiner & Michele Singer, was arrested for their murders this weekend. In past interviews, Nick told Dave of Dopey Podcast about his long history of severe addiction and mental health issues – and the countless times he dropped out of recovery programs, flew into fits of rage, and destroyed his parents' guest house that kept him from being homeless. His addiction to heroin was allegedly a factor in the crime. Family friends told the Los Angeles Times that Nick argued with his father at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party the night before their deaths, with rumors that his parents intended to cut him off financially until he returned to rehab.

Give to help Chris continue to make Truce William R. “Bill” Bright was born in 1921 in Coweta, Oklahoma. Though raised in a religious environment, he initially pursued business success and personal ambition. While attending the University of Southern California, Bright experienced a dramatic spiritual transformation through the influence of Christian leaders like Henrietta Mears. This encounter led him to surrender his life to Jesus Christ and ultimately shaped his calling toward full-time evangelism. In 1951, Bill and his wife, Vonette, founded Campus Crusade for Christ at UCLA with a vision to reach college students with the Gospel. He later developed The Four Spiritual Laws, a simple evangelistic tract that became one of the most widely distributed Christian tools in history. Under his leadership, Campus Crusade grew into a global movement with ministries focused on students, athletes, families, the military, and professionals. Bright also launched the Jesus Film Project in 1979, which became one of the most-translated and widely viewed films in the world. What's missing from most short bios of Bright is the depth of his involvement in the Religious Right. He organized or was present at some of their key gatherings, founded a publishing house to print their words, and raised funds among them. Bill Bright remained dedicated to fulfilling the Great Commission, often engaging in long periods of fasting and prayer for spiritual guidance. He received the prestigious Templeton Prize in 1996 for his contributions to religion and reinvested the award into Christian ministry. When he died in 2003, Campus Crusade for Christ had expanded into nearly every nation, with thousands of staff and volunteers sharing the Gospel worldwide. Bright's life stands as a testament to the global impact one person can have through faith, vision, and relentless obedience to God's call. My guest for this episode is historian John G. Turner, author of Bill Bright and Campus Crusade for Christ: The Renewal of Evangelicalism in Postwar America.

Saving Elephants | Millennials defending & expressing conservative values
Jonah Goldberg makes his triumphal return to Saving Elephants where host Josh Lewis peppers him with unyielding questions on what his fourth and forthcoming book will be about, the practicality of setting lottery winnings as a life-goal, what a post-Trump GOP might look like, whether it makes sense to even "save" the elephants, and whether we should welcome human enslavement to our future AI overlords. Remnant fans, have your bingo cards at the ready! About Jonah Goldberg From The Dispatch Jonah Goldberg is editor-in-chief and co-founder of The Dispatch, based in Washington, D.C.

He is also a bestselling author, longtime columnist for the Los Angeles Times, commentator for CNN, and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. When he is not writing the G-File or hosting The Remnant podcast, he finds real joy in family time, attending to his dogs and cat, and blaming Steve Hayes for various things.

The Los Angeles food scene is nearly mythical. Throw a frisbee in any direction and it’s almost bound to land on the doorstep of one of SoCal’s finest eateries. This leads to one of our quirkiest problems as Angelenos: figuring out which of our great restaurants to visit. Los Angeles Times food critic Jenn Harris and restaurant critic Bill Addison, have taken on the monumental task of answering that fateful question for us all with their ranking of the best restaurants to try in Los Angeles. Bill joins Larry this morning to share some of their best finds.
On the night of March 9, 1963, officers Karl Hettinger and Ian Campbell made a traffic stop on the corner of Carlos Avenue and Gower Street and Hollywood. Early that day, the officers had been instructed to seek out and bust anyone they suspected of being engaged in gay sexual activity, and that night they were confident they'd found two men that fit the bill. However, after Campbell instructed both men to step out of the car, the driver, Gregory Powell, pulled out a pistol and held it on Campbell, effectively disarming him, while other man, Jimmy Smith, disarmed Hettinger. The two officers were then forced into Powell's car and driven more than one hundred miles away, where they executed Ian Campbell, while Hettinger escaped into a nearby onion field and managed to find help at the home of a farmer. The murder of Ian Campbell in the onion field shocked residents of California, not only because it was so cold-blooded, but also because of how the incident unfolded. By yielding to the demands of their hostage taker and handing over his gun, many people felt that Hettinger was at least partially responsible for Campbell's death. Powell and Smith were quickly captured, tried, and convicted for the murder, but the consequences of that night in the onion field would have a profound and lasting effect on police policy all over the country for years to come.Recommendations in this episodeFollow @themhoffers Follow @annaleegrace15 ( YouTube or Instagram)Follow @ChefRileyMeehan and Purchase his book A Little Bit ExtraReferencesAssociated Press. 1963.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, Gary Jenkins interviews bestselling author Mark Shaw about his explosive new research into the JFK and RFK assassinations — and the hidden role of New Orleans Mafia boss Carlos Marcello. Shaw breaks down newly uncovered FBI documents, including Marcello's alleged 1985 prison confession claiming involvement in JFK's murder. We explore Marcello's long-running war with Robert Kennedy, the suspicious death of journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, and significant inconsistencies in the official story of RFK's assassination. This conversation challenges the lone-gunman narrative and exposes how organized crime, politics, and government investigations may have collided to shape American history.

The death of Celeste Rivas-Hernandez — the 15-year-old found inside a Tesla linked to music artist d4vd — has rapidly become one of the most contradictory, fractured, and confusing investigations in recent memory. Not because the facts don't exist… but because every public-facing statement contradicts the next. Tonight on Hidden Killers, we break down the widening gap between official LAPD statements, sealed court filings, forensic whispers, and the digital paper trail that suggests investigators are pursuing something far larger than the public has been told. Early on, LAPD described the case simply as a death investigation. No suspects. No cause of death. No manner determined. But in a sealed-records court filing obtained by the Los Angeles Times, an LAPD detective referred to the case as an “investigation into murder.” That is not a semantic slip — that is a classification shift. And it becomes even more significant when paired with the full autopsy, toxicology, and cause-of-death being locked behind a “security hold” requested by LAPD. Then there's the chaos surrounding the condition of Celeste's body. Viral rumors claimed she was “frozen.” LAPD denied only one specific version — that she was frozen inside the Tesla. They did not deny the possibility of cold storage prior to being moved. And now, multiple outlets report indicators consistent with freezing, refrigeration, long-term concealment, and even potential dismemberment. That leaves two coexisting possibilities: the car was not the primary location… and Celeste may have been deceased long before she was placed there. Add to that the confusion over whether LAPD has even been able to interview d4vd. His camp claims he is “cooperating fully.” A police source told People the exact opposite — that detectives have not spoken with him at all. That single contradiction raises serious questions about communication… or cooperation. And now a new avalanche of forensic details has emerged: • Indicators of cold storage or refrigeration • Evidence consistent with long-term concealment • Methods investigators use to backdate a death by weeks or months • Surveillance reportedly showing someone else driving the Tesla • How non-cooperation pushes detectives into digital forensics • What “final stage transport” means for the primary crime scene • And why multiple-suspect concealment often looks exactly like this To help make sense of it, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us to break down timelines, storage environments, digital trails, search warrant patterns, and why this case feels far more organized — and far more deliberate — than anyone anticipated. A teenage girl is gone. A narrative is fracturing. And investigators are holding information tighter than almost any case we've covered. Tonight, we follow the contradictions, the silence, and the emerging forensic picture of what may have really happened to Celeste Rivas-Hernandez.

Picture this: the gods have come and gone, dynasties have risen and face-planted, cities have popped up and crumbled, tourists have come, posed, and posted a million thirst traps on Instagram… but the Sphinx is still just sitting there like, “Yeah, I'll wait.”Today we're heading to Giza to talk about the world's most famous stone cat with a people head: the Great Sphinx of Egypt. It's massive, it's mysterious, it's eroding faster than our faith in humanity, and it sits at the crossroads of legit science, wild speculation, and whatever the hell Edgar Cayce was doing.We're going to walk through what the Sphinx actually is, what we think we know about its history, how old it might be, why people keep insisting there's a secret Atlantean library under its paws, what modern tech like ground-penetrating radar and fancy satellite scans are actually showing under the Giza plateau, and why so many folks see Dr. Zahi Hawass as the final boss of “Nothing To See Here, Move Along.”Strap on the sunscreen, adjust your tinfoil nemes, and get ready for Hysteria 51.Special thanks to this week's research sources:Main References Mentioned in the EpisodeLehner, Mark.The Complete Pyramids: Solving the Ancient Mysteries.London: Thames & Hudson, 1997.Hawass, Zahi.The Secrets of the Sphinx: Restoration Past and Present.Cairo: American University in Cairo Press, 1998.Jordan, Paul.Riddles of the Sphinx.New York: New York University Press, 1998.Gauri, K.

Today on Vapid Response Wednesday: weeks after designating “Antifa” a “domestic terror organization,” the White House hosted a panel of MAGA luminaries to update the President on the not-at-all-made-up threat to the nation posed by a thing which demonstrably does not exist. We begin with a short amuse douche, in which Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn is concerned about the extremely real Portland “Antifa hit list”--a thing which definitely exists exactly as described! Matt then explains why the war on “Antifa” is a threat to all of our civil liberties before we take a seat at the Antifa Round Table. The White House “antifa round table”, Youtube (10/7/25) The alleged Portland “antifa hit list” White House claims "more than 1,000%" rise in assaults on ICE agents, data says otherwise, NPR (10/10/25) Attacks on ICE up 1,000%?

In the early morning hours of October 8, 1964, thirty-four-year-old housewife and mother of three Lucille Miller placed a frantic call to the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department to report that there had been a car accident on remote Banyan Street and her husband had been killed. When deputies arrived at the scene, the car was still in flames and, as Lucille had described, her husband Gordon “Cork” Miller was in the passenger seat, nearly unrecognizable from the extent of the fire damage.The evidence at the scene appeared to support Lucille's version of events; the car had gone off the road while they were driving and caught fire. Lucille managed to get out of the car, but Cork was unconscious and she was unable to get him out. Less than twelve hours later, however, Lucille's story began to fall apart and by the end of the day she was arrested for the murder of her husband. At first, the case against Lucille Miller seemed relatively straightforward; she killed her husband for the insurance money and to pursue a relationship with another man. But as the investigation unfolded and investigators began digging into the Miller's lives, the story became significantly more complicated and no one seemed able to decide whether Cork's death was in fact a murder.Want to buy our GORGEOUS Tarot Deck designed by the incredibly talented Marisa Aragón Ware?
