This is a Vintage episode from 2012.Why This Episode MattersChef Paul Virant explains how preservation can extend truly seasonal cooking well beyond the growing season.Canning and pickling can deepen a restaurant's relationship with local farmers while creating new possibilities in the kitchen and behind the bar.Preserving peak-season ingredients isn't necessarily cheaper. The value comes from flavor, identity and having something uniquely your own.From pickled vegetables and aigre-doux to cocktail ingredients, preserves can become ingredients rather than simply condiments.BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott visit DeBragga & Spitler and get a hands-on look at dry-aged beef at different stages of the aging process. They talk about why properly aged meat costs more, what actually happens to a piece of beef as it ages, and why tasting and comparing things side by side is one of the best ways to learn.The ConversationChef Paul Virant joins Mark and Francis to talk about The Preservation Kitchen and the preservation program that became a signature of his acclaimed restaurant Vie.For Paul, preserving wasn't simply about opening a jar of pickles alongside a dish. Brines, pickled vegetables, preserved fruits and sweet-and-sour preparations became building blocks in his cooking adding acidity, contrast and unexpected flavor to everything from roasted meats to cocktails.The conversation explores the practical side of cooking seasonally in places like Chicago and New Jersey, where the growing season doesn't last all year. Paul and the Guys discuss buying directly from farmers, preserving crops when they're at their peak, reducing waste and creating a restaurant pantry that reflects the local harvest long after summer is over.They also get into the economics. Preserving food takes ingredients, jars, storage and substantial labor, and it often costs more than simply buying a commercial product. The payoff is something different: exceptional ingredients captured at their best, stronger relationships with farmers and food that belongs uniquely to your restaurant.Also: home winemaking gone wrong, preserving fruit with spirits, using every drop of a pickling brine, and Paul's beer-jam Manhattan made with Goose Island Bourbon County Stout.Guest BioPaul Virant is an acclaimed Chicago-area chef known for his focus on seasonal Midwestern ingredients, preservation and relationships with local farmers. His restaurant Vie earned a Michelin star and operated in Western Springs, Illinois, for 19 years before closing in 2023. Virant currently operates Petite Vie in Western Springs, Vistro Prime in Hinsdale and Gaijin in Chicago.He is the author, with Kate Leahy, of The Preservation Kitchen: The Craft of Making and Cooking with Pickles, Preserves, and Aigre-doux, originally published in 2012.Timestamps00:00 Dry-aged beef and why artisan food costs more 05:45 Paul Virant on preserving the seasons 11:30 How preserves become part of the cooking 15:30 Working with farmers and preserving the harvest 17:45 Beer-jam Manhattans and unexpected uses for preserves 25:45 Why preserving isn't cheaper, yet it's still worth doingInfoPaul's bookThe Preservation KitchenPaul Virant with Kate LeahyPaul's Places (all in Illinois)Petite Vie Vistro Prime GaijinWe're bringing our kitchen to the farm!Join us at Dreyer Farms in Cranford, NJ for a Table-to-Farm Dinner.Sunday, September 13 @ 5:30https://www.stageleft.com/event/91326-table-to-farm-dinner/ Subscribe: Restaurant Guys' Regularhttps://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/Magyar Bankhttps://www.magbank.com/Stage Left Wine Shophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Our PlacesStage Left Steakhttps://www.stageleft.com/Catherine Lombardi Restauranthttps://www.catherinelombardi.com/Stage Left Wineshophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Reach Out to The Guys!TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com

Rep. Thomas Massie used a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to accuse Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of committing sex crimes in the United States and to argue that he should be investigated and, if warranted, prosecuted. Massie named Andrew while calling out a broader group of people he described as alleged co-conspirators or participants in Jeffrey Epstein's network, saying the Justice Department had failed to deliver meaningful accountability. He tied his remarks to the continued fight over millions of Epstein-related records that remain unreleased and said exposing more of that material could help survivors and force federal authorities to act. Massie's remarks were especially pointed because he made them under congressional privilege, allowing him to state the accusation from the House floor while pressing the DOJ to pursue the underlying allegations rather than leave them buried in civil litigation and document dumps.The allegation centered on claims long made by Virginia Giuffre, who said Epstein trafficked her to Andrew for sex on multiple occasions when she was 17, including at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse and on Little Saint James in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Andrew has repeatedly denied sexually abusing Giuffre and denied wrongdoing, and he settled her civil lawsuit in 2022 without admitting liability. What made Massie's speech significant was that a sitting member of Congress was no longer treating Andrew merely as an embarrassing Epstein associate; he was publicly framing him as someone who should face direct criminal scrutiny in the United States. Massie also used the moment to argue that the government's handling of the Epstein files remains incomplete, saying millions of documents are still being withheld and suggesting that naming powerful figures publicly may be one of the only ways to pressure the Justice Department into taking further action.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is accused of 'committing sex crimes in the US' by congressman | Daily Mail Online

In this episode of AML Conversations, Brad Breslin, President and General Manager, Compliance Solutions at AML RightSource, sits down with Jeff Schlanger, former Manhattan prosecutor, institutional reformer, and author of "Doing Right: From Prosecutor to Reformer — A Journey Through Crime, Corruption, Complacency, and Change." Jeff's career spans four decades on the front lines of accountability. He prosecuted the Westies and helped build the case against John Gotti. He served as the federal monitor overseeing the LAPD consent decree after the Rampart scandal. He later became the NYPD's first Deputy Commissioner for Risk Management, and he founded IntegrAssure to bring collaborative oversight to police departments nationwide, including the Aurora, Colorado consent decree. The conversation explores what happens when institutions designed to do good drift off course, and what it takes to bring them back. Jeff shares the moment he discovered the FBI withheld knowledge of jury tampering during the Gotti trial, why he published his NYPD resignation letter, and how the Mickey Featherstone case taught him that doing right often means acting against your own interests. For financial crime compliance and risk professionals, the lessons translate directly. Jeff draws the line from police reform to the HSBC monitorship, where he and Brad worked together, showing that the methodology of oversight, accountability, and continuous improvement is the same whether the rulebook is an LAPD procedures manual or the FFIEC guidelines.

The transcripts from Jes Staley's July 24, 2026 interview with the House Oversight Committee revealed just how deep and personal his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein became, while also exposing contradictions in the way Staley had described that relationship publicly. Staley acknowledged visiting Epstein's Manhattan townhouse dozens of times, traveling to Little St. James on multiple occasions and exchanging roughly 1,200 communications with Epstein between 2008 and 2012. He admitted that he had shared confidential and potentially market-sensitive JPMorgan information with Epstein, including details about the bank's business, client relationships, pending transactions and even communications involving the Federal Reserve during the 2008 financial crisis. Staley also told investigators that he had discussed his own compensation with Epstein and sought his advice, despite previously portraying Epstein as having little or no connection to his professional life after the 2008 conviction. He further acknowledged having a sexual encounter with one of Epstein's assistants after meeting her through Epstein, while insisting that Epstein did not arrange it and that he had no knowledge that the woman had later accused Epstein of abuse.The committee also pressed Staley on some of the strangest and most troubling material in his correspondence with Epstein, including the notorious “Snow White” emails and other references to Disney characters. Staley denied having sex with a woman dressed as Snow White and said he could not explain the meaning of some of the messages, even when investigators confronted him with contemporaneous emails and photographs. He maintained that he did not know Epstein was continuing to abuse girls after his 2008 conviction, calling that revelation “incredible,” yet the transcripts also showed that Staley personally argued for JPMorgan to keep Epstein as a client even as internal concerns about Epstein's cash withdrawals and potential trafficking activity were mounting. Staley also said he had spoken with Jamie Dimon about Epstein, something Dimon and JPMorgan have disputed. Taken together, the testimony painted a picture of a relationship that was far closer, more intertwined with Staley's professional life and more difficult to reconcile with his earlier descriptions than he had previously acknowledged.to contact me:bobbycapuci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Eleven Jeffrey Epstein survivors voluntarily dismissed their lawsuit against Leslie Wexner, the Wexner Foundation and Nine East 71st Street Corporation after a prolonged fight over whether the case belonged in state or federal court. The lawsuit was originally filed in New York Supreme Court under the city's Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, accusing Wexner and related entities of helping enable Epstein through financial support, control over his finances and access to the Manhattan townhouse later associated with his abuse. Wexner and the foundation moved the case into federal court, where the dispute quickly became centered on jurisdiction rather than the substance of the allegations. The key fight involved whether complete diversity existed between the parties, particularly because plaintiff Andrea Sterling said she had been living in Tulum, Mexico, while defense lawyers pointed to public material suggesting she still had ties to Miami. After Nine East sought discovery into Sterling's domicile and opposed sending the case back to state court, the plaintiffs moved to dismiss the action.The dismissal was without prejudice, which means the survivors did not lose on the merits and are not necessarily barred from bringing the claims again. That distinction is important because the allegations against Wexner were never adjudicated; the case ended, for now, because of the jurisdictional battle rather than because a judge found the claims insufficient after a full merits review. Wexner has denied knowing about Epstein's abuse, has not been criminally charged, and his representatives have argued that the complaint failed to provide a factual basis for holding him responsible. But the filing window created by New York City law remains open into 2027, leaving the possibility that the survivors could refile under a different procedural posture. So the immediate result is not an exoneration of Wexner or a defeat of the underlying allegations, but a tactical withdrawal after the case became bogged down in a fight over where it should be heard.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Abuse Claimants Withdraw Wexner Foundation Suit Without Prejudice After Federal Venue Fight | IBTimes UKBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Seven women have filed a civil lawsuit in New York accusing celebrity hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai and employee Patrick Coombs of helping groom them for Jeffrey Epstein, including by altering their appearance to suit Epstein's preferences. According to the complaint, Epstein allegedly sent young women and girls to Fekkai's Manhattan salon, where their hair was bleached blond and they were styled to look “as young as possible,” with the plaintiffs describing the salon as a central part of the grooming process. Five of the seven women are proceeding anonymously, while the named plaintiffs include former model Kersti Ferguson and former Playboy Playmate Audra Christiansen. The lawsuit was filed under New York's Gender-Motivated Violence Act and alleges that Fekkai and his salon were part of a broader network that helped manipulate and prepare women for Epstein's abuse. Those allegations have not been proven in court, and Fekkai has denied wrongdoing in connection with separate Epstein-related accusations.The lawsuit also places Fekkai's business relationship with Epstein under scrutiny, alleging that Epstein helped boost Fekkai's commercial success while Fekkai, in turn, provided services that benefited Epstein's operation. The plaintiffs claim Epstein's connections helped Fekkai's products gain access to major retailers, including Victoria's Secret, which was then controlled by Leslie Wexner, and they argue that Fekkai's salon became intertwined with Epstein's broader social and trafficking network. The case comes amid renewed congressional attention to Fekkai after Sarah Kellen reportedly accused him during a closed-door House interview of sexually assaulting her years earlier, an allegation Fekkai has denied. Rep. Thomas Massie has also publicly named Fekkai among people he believes should face further investigation. The new lawsuit therefore pushes Fekkai from being merely another name associated with Epstein into a direct civil defendant accused of helping shape and groom women for Epstein's benefit.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein's Celebrity Hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai Accused of Bleaching Girls Blond and Grooming Them 'Like Dolls' | IBTimes UKBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

He further acknowledged having a sexual encounter with one of Epstein's assistants after meeting her through Epstein, while insisting that Epstein did not arrange it and that he had no knowledge that the woman had later accused Epstein of abuse.The committee also pressed Staley on some of the strangest and most troubling material in his correspondence with Epstein, including the notorious “Snow White” emails and other references to Disney characters. Staley denied having sex with a woman dressed as Snow White and said he could not explain the meaning of some of the messages, even when investigators confronted him with contemporaneous emails and photographs. He maintained that he did not know Epstein was continuing to abuse girls after his 2008 conviction, calling that revelation “incredible,” yet the transcripts also showed that Staley personally argued for JPMorgan to keep Epstein as a client even as internal concerns about Epstein's cash withdrawals and potential trafficking activity were mounting. Staley also said he had spoken with Jamie Dimon about Epstein, something Dimon and JPMorgan have disputed. Taken together, the testimony painted a picture of a relationship that was far closer, more intertwined with Staley's professional life and more difficult to reconcile with his earlier descriptions than he had previously acknowledged.to contact me:bobbycapuci@protonmail.com

The transcripts from Jes Staley's July 24, 2026 interview with the House Oversight Committee revealed just how deep and personal his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein became, while also exposing contradictions in the way Staley had described that relationship publicly. Staley acknowledged visiting Epstein's Manhattan townhouse dozens of times, traveling to Little St. James on multiple occasions and exchanging roughly 1,200 communications with Epstein between 2008 and 2012.

Sal Cassano was born in New York City. He served in the U.S. Army and did a tour in Vietnam from 1966-1967, But even while he was serving overseas, plans were already in motion for him to become a New York City firefighter when he came home. In late 1969, Cassano joined the FDNY. By September 11, 2001, he was an assistant chief of operations overseeing Manhattan. He would finish his career as FDNY commissioner.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Cassano tells us about his service in Vietnam and becoming a firefighter. He also reveals how he first heard about the Al Qaeda terrorist attacks and why he knew instinctively after the first plane hit the World Trade Center that it was an act of terrorism.Cassano also explains the grisly scene when arriving at the World Trade Center and the flurry of orders he was given when the South Tower came down. He also talks about going to the hospital, immediately returning to work, and finally rejoining his family after almost 48 hours away.Later, Cassano details the challenges at Ground Zero and the sobering task of hiring many new firefighters after losing 343 in the World Trade Center. He also describes what President George W. Bush's visit to Ground Zero meant to the FDNY and what he hopes Americans will reflect upon 25 years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Rep. Thomas Massie used a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to accuse Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of committing sex crimes in the United States and to argue that he should be investigated and, if warranted, prosecuted. Massie named Andrew while calling out a broader group of people he described as alleged co-conspirators or participants in Jeffrey Epstein's network, saying the Justice Department had failed to deliver meaningful accountability. He tied his remarks to the continued fight over millions of Epstein-related records that remain unreleased and said exposing more of that material could help survivors and force federal authorities to act. Massie's remarks were especially pointed because he made them under congressional privilege, allowing him to state the accusation from the House floor while pressing the DOJ to pursue the underlying allegations rather than leave them buried in civil litigation and document dumps.The allegation centered on claims long made by Virginia Giuffre, who said Epstein trafficked her to Andrew for sex on multiple occasions when she was 17, including at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse and on Little Saint James in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Andrew has repeatedly denied sexually abusing Giuffre and denied wrongdoing, and he settled her civil lawsuit in 2022 without admitting liability. What made Massie's speech significant was that a sitting member of Congress was no longer treating Andrew merely as an embarrassing Epstein associate; he was publicly framing him as someone who should face direct criminal scrutiny in the United States. Massie also used the moment to argue that the government's handling of the Epstein files remains incomplete, saying millions of documents are still being withheld and suggesting that naming powerful figures publicly may be one of the only ways to pressure the Justice Department into taking further action.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is accused of 'committing sex crimes in the US' by congressman | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

This morning's proceeding would mark a dramatic twist in Mangione's legal saga. Mangione, who faces federal and state cases in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's 4 December 2024 killing, had long maintained a not-guilty stance.知识点：demeanor n. /dɪˈmiːnər/· 英文释义：the outward behavior, manner, or bearing of a person· 中文释义：举止，风度，神态· 文中意：指曼乔内出庭时的外在举止与神态· 例句一：Her calm demeanor during the crisis reassured everyone in the room. 危机中她镇定自若的举止让在场所有人都安下心来。· 例句二：The candidate's confident demeanor impressed the interview panel. 那位候选人自信的风度给面试官们留下了深刻印象。【节目介绍】 《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。 所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。 【适合谁听】 1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者 2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者 3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者 4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等） 【你将获得】 1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景 2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法 3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

The Los Angeles Lakers have just been sold for $12.5 billion, the highest price ever paid for any sports franchise in history. This blockbuster deal has sent shockwaves through the worlds of finance, technology, and sports culture alike. What does it mean when the most iconic basketball team on the planet changes hands under these circumstances? To understand the full picture, we need to look at who is buying, why they are buying, and what happens to a legendary franchise when its new owners are not fans of the game. Mark Walter had purchased the Los Angeles Lakers roughly a year ago at a $10 billion valuation, which was itself a record at the time. Josh Kushner, who runs Thrive Capital, one of OpenAI’s largest shareholders, called Walter out of the blue and made an offer. Within 72 hours, a deal was struck. The team was never officially on the market. Walter, facing regulatory scrutiny from both the US attorney in Manhattan and the SEC over billions in loans tied to his conglomerate, needed liquidity fast. The sale was as much about financial pressure as it was about opportunity. This is just some of the topics that Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark discuss on this episode of The Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   The Financial Risks Behind the Los Angeles Lakers Deal Kushner is placing the Los Angeles Lakers inside a vehicle called Thrive Eternal, a fund designed specifically for assets he believes are immune to technological disruption. This is a fascinating strategic bet. The Lakers sit alongside a portfolio stuffed with AI winners, and buyers of sports franchises can write off the entire purchase price over 15 years, generating roughly $830 million per year in paper losses. That tax advantage alone makes the acquisition a compelling financial instrument, not just a trophy asset. However, the financial engineering behind this deal raises serious concerns. The NBA limits how much institutional investors can contribute and caps team debt at $475 million. This is the inverse of the traditional private equity playbook, where firms minimize their own capital and maximize leverage. Kushner and his partners do not have $12.5 billion sitting in cash. They are taking on enormous concentrated risk, and the question of who their exit liquidity will eventually be points uncomfortably toward retail investors when their AI holdings eventually go public.   What Happens When Non-Fans Own Iconic Teams The Bus family owned the Los Angeles Lakers since 1979. That is nearly five decades of stewardship rooted in a genuine connection to the team and the city. When passionate fans own teams, good things tend to happen. Mark Cuban sat courtside and screamed at referees because he cared. Ryan Smith bought the Utah Jazz and poured money into player facilities, hired legends like Danny Ainge, and helped transform Salt Lake City into a genuine entertainment destination. These are owners who think about championships and community, not just cashflow. When financial engineers own teams, the calculus changes entirely. Ticket prices rise. Star players get traded to cut costs. Stadium deals extract money from cities and municipalities that can barely afford it. The priority stack becomes clear: owners first, players second, cities third, and fans last. The Los Angeles Lakers are now a hedge against technological disruption inside a portfolio built by people whose primary expertise is in venture capital and artificial intelligence, not basketball. Whether that leads to winning or just profitable mediocrity remains to be seen.   The Broader Warning Signs for the Sports Economy The Los Angeles Lakers sale does not exist in a vacuum. Across the NBA, a pattern is emerging that looks uncomfortably familiar. Team valuations have skyrocketed from hundreds of millions to tens of billions in a remarkably short period of time. Owners who bought at peak valuations are already showing signs of financial strain. Matt Ishbia bought the Phoenix Suns for around $4 billion by pledging his mortgage company as collateral and betting that interest rates would fall. They did not. He may now be facing pressure to sell stakes in the team. The S&P500 is up nearly 75 percent over the past three years, making wealthy investors feel flush and willing to take on risks they would normally avoid. But market runs do not last forever, and when the tide goes out, we find out who has been swimming without protection. The concentration of risk among sports franchise owners, combined with NBA rules that prevent traditional leverage strategies, creates a fragile ecosystem. The Los Angeles Lakers may be the most visible example of a much larger systemic stress building quietly beneath the surface of professional sports.

www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastPart two picks up right where "The Day" left off — both towers still standing, the country still trying to figure out what's happening. This episode finishes the story of September 11th, and it's a lot heavier than the headlines usually let it be. Eric, Sean and Jorge walk through the collapse of both towers minute by minute — what it actually felt like from inside, drawing on The Only Plane in the Sky, the oral history built entirely from witness accounts. But this episode isn't just about the worst parts of that morning. It's about Rick Rescorla, who ignored the "stay put" announcement and personally evacuated nearly 2,700 people from the South Tower while singing through a bullhorn, then went back in and never came out. It's about the 14 people who survived in Stairwell B because a Port Authority employee named Josephine Harris couldn't move fast — and accidentally saved everyone around her. It's about Welles Crowther, the Man in the Red Bandana, and the Coast Guard-led boatlift that moved half a million people off Manhattan by water in under nine hours, a bigger evacuation than Dunkirk.The episode also follows the chaos in Washington — Cheney in the White House bunker authorizing a shootdown order the 9/11 Commission itself later admitted has "conflicting evidence" about who actually approved it first, Ben Sliney grounding every plane in American airspace on his literal first day on the job, and the military confusion that left fighter jets 150 miles away when the Pentagon was hit.And it sets up what's coming next — the first mention of Building 7, the 47-story tower that collapsed without being hit by a plane, and a passport that survived a 500-mile-an-hour impact and a raging fire almost too cleanly to believe.This episode closes out the full account of September 11th before the series turns to what's still unresolved a quarter-century later.New episodes of "9/11: Unanswered" release every Tuesday through September 28th.

While Lexington and Concord claim significance as the sites of the American Revolution's opening battles, New York City's geography, population density, and cultural status made it one of the most important theaters of the war. Between 1776 and 1777, numerous battles were fought for control over the Port of New York, including the Battles of Harlem Heights, Pell's Point, White Plains, Fort Washington, and the largest battle of the entire revolution, the Battle of Long Island/Brooklyn. Recognizing the strategic importance of New York, and forewarned by his experience at the Battle of Bunker Hill in Boston, Lieutenant-General Sir William Howe and royal governor Lord George Germain recruited Hessian mercenaries and soldiers from across the empire to defend the city from an eventual patriot campaign to claim New York. In 1776, George Washington, as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, began preparations for what we know today as the New York and New Jersey Campaign. Though the campaign failed to fortify New York from Sir William Howe, which remained in British control until the end of the war in 1783, the revolution might have ended altogether on Staten Island when William and his brother, Admiral Richard Howe, entered peace negotiations with the Americans. In a September 11, 1776, meeting, the Howes met with John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Edward Rutledge for an unsuccessful three-hour negotiation. Four days later, Howe, as Commander-in-Chief of British Land Forces in America, landed 12,000 troops in lower Manhattan and quickly claimed the city. Though the British took control of New York Harbor and the surrounding agricultural areas, the areas around New York and New Jersey remained active battlegrounds for the rest of the revolution. When the war ended, it saw some of the last British soldiers evacuate the new United States, including thousands of free and formerly enslaved Africans who had served the empire in the war, documented by The Book of Negroes. Battle in the Margins is a special project of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation in collaboration with Black Gotham Experience, an organization devoted to African Diasporic storytelling, to commemorate the African Diaspora's impact on the American Revolution.

The transcripts from Jes Staley's July 24, 2026 interview with the House Oversight Committee revealed just how deep and personal his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein became, while also exposing contradictions in the way Staley had described that relationship publicly. Staley acknowledged visiting Epstein's Manhattan townhouse dozens of times, traveling to Little St. James on multiple occasions and exchanging roughly 1,200 communications with Epstein between 2008 and 2012. He admitted that he had shared confidential and potentially market-sensitive JPMorgan information with Epstein, including details about the bank's business, client relationships, pending transactions and even communications involving the Federal Reserve during the 2008 financial crisis. Staley also told investigators that he had discussed his own compensation with Epstein and sought his advice, despite previously portraying Epstein as having little or no connection to his professional life after the 2008 conviction. He further acknowledged having a sexual encounter with one of Epstein's assistants after meeting her through Epstein, while insisting that Epstein did not arrange it and that he had no knowledge that the woman had later accused Epstein of abuse.The committee also pressed Staley on some of the strangest and most troubling material in his correspondence with Epstein, including the notorious “Snow White” emails and other references to Disney characters. Staley denied having sex with a woman dressed as Snow White and said he could not explain the meaning of some of the messages, even when investigators confronted him with contemporaneous emails and photographs. He maintained that he did not know Epstein was continuing to abuse girls after his 2008 conviction, calling that revelation “incredible,” yet the transcripts also showed that Staley personally argued for JPMorgan to keep Epstein as a client even as internal concerns about Epstein's cash withdrawals and potential trafficking activity were mounting. Staley also said he had spoken with Jamie Dimon about Epstein, something Dimon and JPMorgan have disputed. Taken together, the testimony painted a picture of a relationship that was far closer, more intertwined with Staley's professional life and more difficult to reconcile with his earlier descriptions than he had previously acknowledged.to contact me:bobbycapuci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The All Local for Tuesday, September 1st, 2026

I discovered ⁠Ari Ehrlich⁠ through his ⁠viral Substack⁠ about a friend trip to Nantucket that went completely sideways: the cold shoulder, no explanation, a girl world nightmare, and I had so many questions. We get into what it was actually like growing up with the children of Manhattan's elite, his other salacious Substack stories where he's reporting on who's banging who and how he's managed to keep his friends despite writing about all of their drama. Ari is one of the funniest and most astute observers of social dynamics I've talked to. Remember his name!

On this episode of The New Yorkers Podcast, Kelly Kopp sits down with Dan from All Day NYC for a funny, nostalgic, and very New York conversation about growing up in Bensonhurst and Gravesend, Coney Island summers, Canal Street, pizza, bagels, the subway, viral NYC moments, the Knicks championship parade, and what it really means to be a New Yorker.

Anika Burgess, author of Flashes of Brilliance: The Genius of Early Photography and How It Transformed Art, Science, and History, explores the dangerous, experimental origins of photography, commencing with Daguerre's 1839 copper-plate daguerreotypes. Burgess details the introduction of the wet collodion glass process, which required toxic chemicals like cyanide and highly explosive gun cotton. Key figures highlighted include the eccentric Nadar, Louis Boutan's pioneering underwater photography, Carleton Watkins's mammoth prints of Yosemite, and Jacob Riis's flash-powder documentation of Manhattan tenements. The discussion spans early astronomical photography of the moon, medicine's risky embrace of X-rays, and Eadweard Muybridge's motion studies that birthed cinema. (1)
